通过控制器从路径到视图传递参数不起作用

Question

I'm creating a Laravel 4 webapp and got the following route:

Route::get('products/{whateverId}', 'ProductController@index');

This is my index-function in ProductController:

    public function index($whateverId)
{
    $products = Product::all();
    $data['whateverId'] = $whateverId;
    return View::make('products', compact('products'), $data);
}

In my view, this returns the following error:

<p>Product: {{ $data['product'] }}</p>

ErrorException Undefined variable: data (View: /Users/myuser/webapp/app/views/products.blade.php)

Answer 1

return View::make('products', compact('products'), "data"=>$data);

(or compact('data'))
