   use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cache;

   public function boot()
   {
       $navigationMenu = Cache::rememberForever('navigation_menu', function () {
           return [
               ['title' => 'Home', 'url' => '/'],
               ['title' => 'About', 'url' => '/about'],
           ];
       });

       View::share('navigationMenu', $navigationMenu);
   }

   <ul>
       @foreach ($navigationMenu as $item)
           <li><a href="{{ $item['url'] }}">{{ $item['title'] }}</a></li>
       @endforeach
   </ul>

Alternatively, inject the shared data into the constructor:

   namespace App\Http\Controllers;

   class ExampleController extends Controller
   {
       protected $sharedData;

       public function __construct()
       {
           $this->sharedData = app('sharedData');
       }

       public function index()
       {
           return view('example', [
               'maxUploads' => $this->sharedData['max_uploads'],
               'apiRateLimit' => $this->sharedData['api_rate_limit'],
           ]);
       }
   }

Edit the boot method in app/Providers/CustomDataServiceProvider.php:

   namespace App\Providers;

   use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

   class CustomDataServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
   {
       public function boot()
       {
           // Example data
           $globalPreferences = [
               'api_limit' => 100,
               'app_mode' => 'live', // 'maintenance' or 'live'
               'feedback_form_enabled' => true,
           ];

           // Share this data globally
           view()->share('globalPreferences', $globalPreferences);
       }
   }
