Laravel Programming Tutorials, Guides & Best Practices

• Share app-wide settings (e.g., theme or API limits) with all views.
• Make user-specific preferences (e.g., notification settings) accessible to controllers and views.
• Dynamically load data blocks like navigation menus or notifications.

We’ll cover the most effective approaches to achieve this without redundancy.

Imagine an application where multiple controllers require access to:

• User Roles: Determine if a user has admin or moderator privileges.
• Feature Toggles: Enable or disable features like file uploads.
• App-Wide Configurations: Share global preferences like application mode or API limits.

In any controller, retrieve the shared data:

   namespace App\Http\Controllers;

   class HomeController extends Controller
   {
       public function index()
       {
           $sharedData = app('sharedData');

           return view('home', [
               'maxUploads' => $sharedData->maxUploads,
               'apiRateLimit' => $sharedData->apiRateLimit,
               'theme' => $sharedData->theme,
           ]);
       }
   }
