How to send data using redirect with Laravel

Question

I developed an API to show a pop up message when the page loaded.

Not all the pages use the pop up API. For example, if the user go to the show($id) page, that doesn't required the pop up api to fire. but in some special cases, I need the pop up to be fired.

Here is my code, ** this code is just to illustrate my point, not an actual working code**

public function store(){     validating the input      saving them      $id = get the id      return Redirect::route('clients.show, $id') } 

and in the show function I do this:

public function show($id){    $client =Client::find($id)    return View::make('clients.profife')->with(array(    'data' => $client )) 

My question

Is there a way so I can send a data from the store function to the show function using Redirect::route ? and then in the show function, I check if this show function, I check if this data has been sent of what and then I decide whether to fire the pop up api or not.

}

Answer 1

In store()

return Redirect::route('clients.show, $id')->with( ['data' => $data] ); 

and in show() read it with

Session::get('data');
