How to correctly pass a variable in laravel to all templates?

Question

Laravel

I don't understand the documentation on this point. There are a lot of solutions and not a single detailed one. A banal problem: a record from the database is displayed in the footer file. The whole template is built on blade. So, there are many pages on the site, but there is only one footer. How is it easier and more correct to get this record from the database once and so that it is transferred to the footer, regardless of which page on the site is open?
