Where is the best place to set a global variable in Laravel?

Question

Laravel

Where in Laravel 5 can I set a global variable that can be changed in any controller? There is an array initialized with a certain initial value, which is supplemented in some controllers, and then displayed in the main view, at the very top of the page. Where can such a variable be set? Middleware or is there something more suitable?

Answer 1

You do a singleton in the provider and that's it. This is how Lara works with a database connection, etc.

public function register()
    {
        $this->app->singleton(Connection::class, function ($app) {
            return new Connection(config('riak'));
        });

}

Answer 2

helper

Answer 3

best of all, there
is probably another solution somewhere that is not tied to the global state ...
