Passing data on a redirect will make it available to the controller that handles the request after redirecting, you'll need to pass the data into the view from that controller.

Redirect::to passing variable to view
I have need to send some data back to the view from a function that returns this:
return Redirect::to($request->input('success_url'));
I have tried using ->with but I always get the error $donation is not defined
I also tried compact but same issue
return Redirect::to($request->input('success_url'), compact('donation',[$res]));
Is there a way to return data back so i can use it in my view.

In the MainController it just returns:
return $donation
but there is a laravel api call that looks like this:
$res = $this->api->post('donation/create', $request->all())->json();
this then posts to the MainController should I be sending my return fro the MainController

AFAIK, you cannot send data with the redirect, only put data in the session (using with). So, you need to get that data out of the session rather than a "regular" variable:
// controller
return redirect()->to('/success-url')->with('data', $data);
// view/controller
session()->get('data')

How do I then use my new session variable
Level 104
The data flashed to the session will be available using session('data') or session()->get('data')
You will hit a controller method (presuming one is set up for URI), so you could assign to a variable in the controller; or you could use the session() helper directly in the view
