php - Laravel . Using two controllers in the same view

Solution:

You should be able to achieve this with a View Composer. You can create a view for the comments which can be included in any other views. A View Composer will allow you to bind data to this view before it is rendered.

use App\Comment;
use Illuminate\View\View;

class CommentsComposer
{
    protected $comment;

    public function __construct(Comment $comment)
    {
        $this->comment = $comment;
    }

    public function compose(View $view)
    {
        $view->with('comments', $this->comment->latest()->take(10)->get());
    }
}
Copy code

In a Service Provider'sboot method you can attach the composer to your view:

View::composer('partials.commments', 'App\Composers\CommentsComposer');
Copy code

Anywhere you want to use that view you can just include it in Blade:

@include('partials.comments')
Copy code

This allows you to have an isolated place for the logic of handling the data that is needed for this view partial and it only needs to worry about that one responsibility. Unlike a Controller a Composer doesn't need to worry about handling the request or response.
