Reusable Data Development Tutorials, Guides & Insights

   namespace App\Http\Controllers;

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

           return view('example', [
               'maxUploads' => $sharedData['max_uploads'],
               'apiRateLimit' => $sharedData['api_rate_limit'],
               'uploadsEnabled' => $sharedData['features']['uploads_enabled'],
           ]);
       }
   }

Alternatively, inject the shared data into the constructor:

• Centralized Logic: Common functionality is defined in one place, reducing code duplication.
• Ease of Maintenance: Updates to shared logic automatically apply to all child controllers.
• Improved Readability: Child controllers remain focused on specific actions, while shared concerns are handled in the Base Controller.

By creating a Base Controller in Laravel, you’ve centralized shared logic and data, making your application more maintainable and DRY. This approach is particularly useful for managing user roles, global preferences, and feature toggles across multiple controllers.

   app()->forgetInstance('sharedData');

After resetting, access app('sharedData') to reload the data dynamically.
