In Laravel I have a table settings and i have fetched complete data from the table in the BaseController, as following
public function __construct()
{
// Fetch the Site Settings object
$site_settings = Setting::all();
View::share('site_settings', $site_settings);
}
Now i want to access $site_settings. in all other controllers and views so that i don't need to write the same code again and again, so anybody please tell me the solution or any other way so i can fetch the data from the table once and use it in all controllers and view.
At first, a config file is appropriate for this kind of things but you may also use another approach, which is as given below (Laravel - 4):
// You can keep this in your filters.php file
App::before(function($request) {
App::singleton('site_settings', function(){
return Setting::all();
});
// If you use this line of code then it'll be available in any view
// as $site_settings but you may also use app('site_settings') as well
View::share('site_settings', app('site_settings'));
});
To get the same data in any controller you may use:
$site_settings = app('site_settings');
There are many ways, just use one or another, which one you prefer but I'm using the Container
.
