Laravel 5.1 - Show my session cart

to show in header menu my products of my cart session, I'm passing the session "cart" from my controller to my view, like this:

FrontController: 

public function index()
    {
        $cart = \Session::get('cart');

        return view('index',compact('cart'));
    }

Routes.php

Route::get('/','FrontController@index');

my layout principal.blade.php ( it work well)

@foreach ($cart as $item)

all items of my session cart

@endforeach

MY QUESTION:

there is a way to pass the cart session directly to all my views?? OR I must always pass the cart Session for each view ? i have about 24 views, i must do each view like my view homepage index.php ??

Thank you for your help!

Why you want to pass session data from controller? Sessions are available everywhere. This should work without passing anything from a controller:

@foreach (session()->get('cart') as $item)
    all items of my session cart
@endforeach

This is a perfect job for Laravel's View Composers.

Create a new service provider, let's call it ComposerServiceProvider:

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\View;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class ComposerServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Bootstrap the application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        // Share $_cart to every view
        view()->composer('*', function ($view) {
            view()->share('_cart', \Session::get('cart'));
        });
    }

    /**
     * Register the application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        //
    }
}

Don't forget to add the service provider within config/app.php. You can also compose variables to specific views only by replacing the * wildcard.

You may noticed I've added a underscore prefix _cart to the variable. I do this so you know the variable is shared and not passed by the controller.

use data sharing

add to boot method in your AppServiceProvider

view()->share('cart', \Session::get('cart'));
