Laravel - Pass more than one variable to view

I have this site and one of its pages creates a simple list of people from the database. I need to add one specific person to a variable I can access.

How do I modify the return $view->with('persons', $persons); line to also pass the $ms variable to the view?

    function view($view)
    {
        $ms = Person::where('name', 'Foo Bar');

        $persons = Person::order_by('list_order', 'ASC')->get();

        return $view->with('persons', $persons);
    }

Just pass it as an array:

$data = [
    'name'  => 'Raphael',
    'age'   => 22,
    'email' => '[email protected]'
];

return View::make('user')->with($data);

Or chain them, like @Antonio mentioned.


This is how you do it:

function view($view)
{
    $ms = Person::where('name', '=', 'Foo Bar')->first();

    $persons = Person::order_by('list_order', 'ASC')->get();

    return $view->with('persons', $persons)->with('ms', $ms);
}

You can also use compact():

function view($view)
{
    $ms = Person::where('name', '=', 'Foo Bar')->first();

    $persons = Person::order_by('list_order', 'ASC')->get();

    return $view->with(compact('persons', 'ms'));
}

Or do it in one line:

function view($view)
{
    return $view
            ->with('ms', Person::where('name', '=', 'Foo Bar')->first())
            ->with('persons', Person::order_by('list_order', 'ASC')->get());
}

Or even send it as an array:

function view($view)
{
    $ms = Person::where('name', '=', 'Foo Bar')->first();

    $persons = Person::order_by('list_order', 'ASC')->get();

    return $view->with('data', ['ms' => $ms, 'persons' => $persons]));
}

But, in this case, you would have to access them this way:

{{ $data['ms'] }}
