Question

In my case I send week info (previous, current, next week, inc

Answer 1

All the data you pass to your view in the controller will be available in the view controller. Use the getData method on the view instance like this:

$view->getData()["current_week"];

In your particular case, you can do this:

public function compose(View $view)
{
   $current_week = $view->getData()["current_week"];
   //use $current_week as desired 
}

You can also get the data in the route (route parameters) from the request like this:

request()->route()->getParameter('week_number');
