How to add handler to all Laravel pages?

Question

Laravel

Good afternoon, the project already has a lot of pages and controllers.

The task in the menu is to add the number of messages from the database. The menu is connected as a component to each page.

The question is, how can I transfer data from the database to all pages at once?
So far, I see only such a solution: on each page in each controller function in return, pass a variable with a quantity. But this is a very long way, maybe there is something more concise?

Answer 1

Laravel has a special method for sharing information in all views. Which is called: Sharing Data With All Views
Ie . write to AppServiceProvider

View::share([
    'messageCount' => Message::count(),
]);

and use the $messageCount variable in all views

Answer 2

You can make a component and push it into the desired layout
