I have found a better way which works on Laravel 5.5 and makes variables accessible by views. And you can retrieve data from the database, do your logic by importing your Model just as you would in your controller.

The "*" means you are referencing all views, if you research more you can choose views to affect.

add in your app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

composer('*', function(View $view) {
            $site_settings = Setting::all();
            $view->with('site_settings', $site_settings);
        });
    }

    /**
     * Register any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {

    }
}
