Ordena las plantillas de blade con View Composer

The Problem

It has always considered a poor practice of Developers on directly querying database from the blade files in Laravel. For example, in your template file, you may have used something like this:

@foreach(App\User::all() as $user)
    <li>{{$user}}</li>
@endforeach

This may work Ok, but you're directly calling the User model inside of your blade file. Good practice says your view file shouldn't know whats happening inside & outside your database at all.

We'll look on a couple of solution to tackle this efficiently.

Solution # 1 - Pass it from the View

In your UserController method you're using. You may pass your variables like so

$users = App\User::all();

return view('user',compact('users'));

This may be a workaround, but think of it as you have to pass on users to every single view you want to display your users on. Well don't just lose hope, Laravel got you covered.

Solution # 2 - View Composers

In your AppServiceProvider.php, utilize your boot() method to pass on the view composer to your application and use it wherever you want to.

public function boot()
{
    \View::share('users',App\User::all());
}

You can now use users variable inside of any of your application's blade files without any hassle.

The Use-Case

Now you can simply use in your file.blade.php

@foreach($users as $user)
 <li>{{$user}}</li>
@endforeach

Conclusion

You can create a separate ServiceProvider for your View Composers, but thats not necessary unless your appServiceProvider is overloading. Play around with it & let us know if you stuck in between.
