I have a Laravel 5.5 app that uses view blades conventionally, nothing fancy. My blade is a long table of data and I split the group sections (item categories) into their own partials to manage the code better.
However, I can't find a way to pass variable data from the partials back to the main blade, or even between partials. The scope of the variables are bound within the partials and I need to show a page total that aggregates the sub-totals from the various partials (sections). I did try using
View::share('portfolio_total', 100);
in the AppServiceProvider, to no avail. I can set a value (like the 100 shown) that stays intact in the master blade, but doesn't pick up the value set in that variable in the partial. Changing the variable value inside the partial doesn't update the value available to the master blade. I've searched extensively for this and there are many examples of passing values into partials, but not back out.
Is there a Laravel trick for defining the equivalent of global variables that can have their value set in an included partial blade, and carry that value to another partial blade, or out to the master blade?
Thanks in advance.
