Sending String Parameter From Route to View
I am trying to think of any better way to send through a string that has retrieved from a route parameter and has been run through a title string helper and echoed out into the view. The reason being is a have many other modules that share this same functionality and would like to make it easier to manage across all instances.
So I'm trying to figure out what would be the best strategy so that I don't have to continue adding the Str::title($state) and pass it to the view on every module that uses it. Is there a more strategic way of moving that logic somewhere.
Route::get('/users/state/{state?}', 'UsersController@index')->name('users.index');
Route::get('/students/state/{state?}', 'StudentsController@index')->name('teachers.index');
Route::get('/teachers/state/{state?}', 'TeachersController@index')->name('teachers.index');
UsersController
public function index($state = 'active')
{
$users = User::hasState($state)->get();
$state = Str::title($state);
return response()->view('users.index', compact('users', 'state'));
}
StudentsController
public function index($state = 'active')
{
$students = Student::hasState($state)->get();
$state = Str::title($state);
return response()->view('students.index', compact('students', 'state'));
}
TeachersController
public function index($state = 'active')
{
$teachers = Teacher::hasState($state)->get();
$state = Str::title($state);
return response()->view('teachers.index', compact('teachers', 'state'));
}
Users/index.blade.phjp
{{ $state }} Users
Teachers/index.blade.phjp
{{ $state }} Teachers
Students/index.blade.phjp
{{ $state }} Students

@patickadvance You are taking away the state getting put through the String title helper though. So that doesn't answer the question.
Level 54
reactor it into user method or scope.

There may be some misunderstanding. Is there a way I can with a view composer or something to where on any index page it will show the state as capitalized when the variable is being requested.

You can do that directly in the view:
(I will use @patickadvance code here)
// Controller
public function index($state = 'active')
{
$users = User::where('state',$state)->get();
return view('users.index', compact('users', 'state'));
}
// View
{{ \Illuminate\Support\Str::title($state) }} Students

Now, if you want to do it BEFORE the controller method is called, you need to transform the route parameter.
Something like this: https://dev.to/samolabams/transforming-laravel-request-data-using-middleware-2k7j

@neeonline Doesn't your first suggestion add logic to the view. I was starting to think about a view composer but not sure if that is the right direction.
Level 8
@XTREMER360 - This transformation that you want needs to happen somewhere.
In your first question you don't want to add it in all controller's methods, so that means it need to be done for all routes that uses it. The only way will be doing it using my second suggestion.
In my opinion this is a cosmetic change and should belong into the view.
Level 54
yes, view composer seem the better option for your need.
