Question

I\'m using view composers in Laravel 5.1: nice. But how can I pass parameters to a view composer?

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

Answer 1

I think if you want to pass some data to the view composer from controller then you can use sessions. Set the data from the controller in the session and you can get data from session in the view composer. This did the trick for me without doing any complex stuff

Controller

    public function index()
    {
       session(['key' => 'value']);
       return view('your_view');
    }

View Composer

    public function compose(View $view)
    {
        $data = session('key');
        return $view->with('your_data',$data);
    }
