Laravel: Passing default variables to view

Question

In Laravel, we all pass data to our view in pretty much the same way

$data = array(
    \'thundercats\' => \'Hoooooooooooh!\'
);
return View::make(\'myawe         


        

Answer 1

There are couple of ways, so far I have been experiment with some.

1.Use singleton, you can put it in routes.php

App::singleton('blog_tags', function() {
  return array(
    'Drupal'    => 'success',
        'Laravel'   => 'danger',
        'Symfony'   => 'dark',
        'Wordpress' => 'info'
    );
});

2.Use Settings bundle, download here. https://github.com/Phil-F/Setting. You can put this in controller or template.

Setting::set('title', 'Scheduler | Mathnasium');

3.Use View share, pretty much use it in your template

Controller: Views::share('theme_path', 'views/admin/');
Template: 

4.My current sample setup, I wrote a construct in HomeController.

public function __construct()
{
    // Define a theme namespace folder under public
    View::addLocation('../public/views/admin');
    View::addNamespace('admin', '../public/views/admin');
    View::share('theme_path', 'views/admin/');


    // Set default page title
    Setting::set('title', 'Scheduler | Mathnasium');
    Setting::set('description', 'daily customer scheduler.');
    Setting::set('keywords', ['Reservation', 'Planner']);
    Setting::set('page-title', '');
}
