Laravel - Pass more than one variable to view

Question

I have this site and one of its pages creates a simple list of people from the database. I need to add one specific person to a variable I can access.

How do I modify the return $view->with('persons', $persons); line to also pass the $ms variable to the view?

    function view($view)     {         $ms = Person::where('name', 'Foo Bar');          $persons = Person::order_by('list_order', 'ASC')->get();          return $view->with('persons', $persons);     } 

Answer 1

Just pass it as an array:

$data = [     'name'  => 'Raphael',     'age'   => 22,     'email' => '[email protected]' ];  return View::make('user')->with($data); 

Or chain them, like @Antonio mentioned.

Answer 2

This is how you do it:

function view($view) {     $ms = Person::where('name', '=', 'Foo Bar')->first();      $persons = Person::order_by('list_order', 'ASC')->get();      return $view->with('persons', $persons)->with('ms', $ms); } 

You can also use compact():

function view($view) {     $ms = Person::where('name', '=', 'Foo Bar')->first();      $persons = Person::order_by('list_order', 'ASC')->get();      return $view->with(compact('persons', 'ms')); } 

Or do it in one line:

function view($view) {     return $view             ->with('ms', Person::where('name', '=', 'Foo Bar')->first())             ->with('persons', Person::order_by('list_order', 'ASC')->get()); } 

Or even send it as an array:

function view($view) {     $ms = Person::where('name', '=', 'Foo Bar')->first();      $persons = Person::order_by('list_order', 'ASC')->get();      return $view->with('data', ['ms' => $ms, 'persons' => $persons])); } 

But, in this case, you would have to access them this way:

{{ $data['ms'] }}
