I am trying to always show the same content in the footer (Content that is stored in a field of the data base). The footer has to appear in all the pages of the web.
The problem is not how to pose it:
$footer = DB::select('SELECT * FROM generos');
return view('home', ['footer' => $footer]);
Pass variable $footer to all view that contains footer?
Is there no way to create the variable $ footer in a single site and be able to pass it to all the views?
The method that Laravel proposes is to do it with View::share() in the AppServiceProvider:
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\[DB, View];
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function boot()
{
$footer = DB::select('SELECT * FROM generos');
View::share('footer', $footer);
}
/**
* Register the service provider.
*
* @return void
*/
public function register()
{
//
}
}
