How to implement Laravel 4 Partial Views - Binding data to partial views

Question

I am debating whether I should use Laravel to build an online store.

Requirement - Show a shopping cart in sidebar with product listing in main area. i need to bind

Answer 1

Make a composers.php file in your app/ directory and include it via app/start/global.php. In this file, do the View::composer calls (you do not need to put them inside App::before).

Move the composer classes into a new app/composers/ directory and add the directory to the autoloader in your composer.json.

Other than that, your use of composers is correct.

Answer 2

for me create a abstract class ShopController extends BaseController

and in constructor() write View::composer

and you can use DB::table('products')->remember(100)->get(); vs all() for the cache

Answer 3

You can simply do

@include('partials.products', array('data'=>'here'))
