如何获取公共布局文件的数据并在所有视图上显示

Question

I have a common layout file which use to extend the common features such as navbar footer. So now I need to get data from my database eg: number of users in navbar and to display them in all views. So my common layout file has no controllers or routes. How can I do it?

You can use AppServiceProvider's boot function to pass variable to specific view or multiple views with view Composer. Try using following example.

public function boot()
{
    \View::composer('url_here', function ($view) {
        $view->with('$post', \App\Post::all());
    });
}

here is the official documentation.
