laravel compact() and ->with()

Question

I have a piece of code and I\'m trying to find out why one variation works and the other doesn\'t.

return View::make(\'gameworlds.mygame\', compact(\'fixture         


        

Answer 1

The View::make function takes 3 arguments which according to the documentation are:

public View make(string $view, array $data = array(), array $mergeData = array())

In your case, the compact('selections') is a 4th argument. It doesn't pass to the view and laravel throws an exception.

On the other hand, you can use with() as many time as you like. Thus, this will work:

return View::make('gameworlds.mygame')

->with(compact('fixtures'))

->with(compact('teams'))

->with(compact('selections'));
