So, I have a password reset view which relies on a variable being passed into it. I tried to use the below Route but it meant that when I go to the "Login" link, the button for "Forgot Your Password" is missing:
Route::get('/password/reset', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm')->name('reset');
When I remove that route, the button comes back but of course, the link complains about a missing variable.
The function in the controller is:
public function showResetForm()
{
$categoryMenu = Categories::all();
return view('auth.passwords.reset', compact('categoryMenu'));
}
@mattb if you're using default view, you should also pass token and email.
public function showResetForm(Request $request, $token = null)
{
return view('auth.passwords.reset', [
'categoryMenu' => Categories::all(),
'token' => $token,
'email' => $request->email,
]);
}
Your categories menu should be provided by a View Composer, not by adding the same code to every controller.
Is this something just native to Laravel 6 or does 5.8 have it?
its been in Laravel for many years, probably since version 3
