Laravel: How to share variables with parent view - php

Question

I do have the current state that I have multiple projects in my Laravel application (which are stored in a database). I do have the following URL structure:
http://app.com/project/7-exampleproject/news
where
https://app.com/project/{id}-{seostring}/{module}
Is the idea behind it. What I do need is that the project variable should be available on any view (module) which comes after the {id} part. How can I achieve it?
==
Additional information
Here is the route list:
GET|HEAD | project/{project}{extra?} | project.dashboard.index | App\Http\Controllers\Project\DashboardController#index | web
GET|HEAD | project/{project}{extra?}/news | project.news.index | App\Http\Controllers\Project\NewsController#index | web
GET|HEAD | project/{project}{extra?}/tournaments | project.tournaments.index | App\Http\Controllers\Project\TournamentController#index | web
Route::group(['prefix' => 'project', 'namespace' => 'Project'], function(){
Route::get('/{project}{extra?}', 'DashboardController#index')->name('project.dashboard.index')->where(['id', '[0-9+]','extra' => '-[A-Za-z0-9]+']);
Route::get('/{project}{extra?}/news', 'NewsController#index')->name('project.news.index')->where(['id', '[0-9+]','extra' => '-[A-Za-z0-9]+']);
Route::get('/{project}{extra?}/tournaments', 'TournamentController#index')->name('project.tournaments.index')->where(['id', '[0-9+]','extra' => '-[A-Za-z0-9]+']);
});
In each of those views my app.layouts.project gets extended by the content of each, so we end up with:
#extends('layouts.project')
#section('content')
<h3>Welcome to <br>{{ $project->name }}!</h3>
#endsection
But what I want to achieve is, EACH time the /project/{project} gets called, the view layouts.project should get it's active ID and $project variable
==
How I want the data to be available:
In my case, each module currently gets the active project from the URL (as seen on the dashboard here), already from the URL. This is not what I am looking for.
public function index(Project $project)
{
return view('project.dashboard.index',[
'project' => $project
]);
}
What I am looking for is to include the $project object (including all information) to layouts.project, which includes meta and head title informations, as well as displaying the project name itself.

Edit 3: Another thing was that you wanted to set the data in your parent view. You can do this even when you extend the parent and pass the data to the child view from the controller. Hope i've clarified things in the chat for you.
Edit 2: You want to auto load the object in the view. You can do this by creating a view composer and reading the current route. If the routes match, extract the project id and load the project model. You can then access the project object in your view without passing it through your controller. Though this is too much of work and bad practise compared to passing the object via the controller.
Edit: After all the comments and chat i understand what you're trying to do.
This will give you the Project object using route model binding while ignoring the unwanted SEO string. This will also work with both cases.
http://app.com/project/7-exampleproject/news
http://app.com/project/7/news
Replace the boot in your RouteServiceProvider
// app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php
public function boot()
{
parent::boot();
Route::bind('project', function ($value) {
$id = explode('-', $value)[0];
return \App\Project::findOrFail($id);
});
}
Change your routes to
// routes/web.php
Route::group(['prefix' => 'project', 'namespace' => 'Project'], function () {
Route::get('/{project}', 'DashboardController#index')->name('project.dashboard.index');
Route::get('/{project}/news', 'NewsController#index')->name('project.news.index');
Route::get('/{project}/tournaments', 'TournamentController#index')->name('project.tournaments.index');
});
The path has to be passed as a single parameter and you can split it in your controller to get the id and seotring separately. Something like this.
Route::get('/project/{project}/{module}', 'SomeController#show');
public function show($project, $module)
{
$data = explode('-', $project, 2);
$id = $data[0];
$name = $data[1];
return view('someview')->with(compact('id', 'name'));
}

Answer 2

I think you are looking for ViewComposers, it is not based on the url but on the view name.
My personal opinion is that this is a better approach than something based on URL since URL are changing more often than view names.
