Laravel - Passing variables from Middleware to controller/route

Question

How can I pass variables from a middleware to a controller or a route that executes such middleware? I saw some post about appending it to the request like this:

Answer 1

pass key value pair like this

$route = route('routename',['id' => 1]);

or to your action

$url = action('UserController@profile', ['id' => 1]);

You can pass data the view using with

 return view('demo.manage', [
    'manage_link_class' => 'active',
    'twilio_workspace_capability' => //how do I get the token here?...
]) -> with('token',$token);

in your middleware

 public function handle($request, Closure $next)
 {
    $workspaceCapability = new .....
    ...
    $request -> attributes('token' => $token);

    return $next($request);
 }

in your controller

 return Request::get('token');
