If you have to pass parameters from a controller to a view composer, you can create a wrapper class for the composer and pass data to it whenever needed. Then, when you're done setting up you data, you can compose the view:

ComposerWrapper class

public function __construct(array $data)
{
    $this->data = $data;
}

public function compose()
{        
    $data = $this->data;

    View::composer('partial_name', function( $view ) use ($data) 
    {
        //here you can use your $data to compose the view
    } );
}

Controller

public function index()
{
    //get the data you need
    $data = ['first_value' = 1]; 

    //pass the data to your wapper class
    $composerWrapper = new ComposerWrapper( $data );

    //this will compose the view
    $composerWrapper->compose();

   //other code...
}
