Sharing data with namespaced view

Hello guys,

I am working with laravel-modules package, which provides namespaces for my views(e.g. ecommerce). I want to share data with single view which is located inside this module. I have tried:

View::composer(
    'ecommercegiftcards.pages.default.gift-cards',
    fn($view) => $view->with('giftCards', $giftCards)
);

This is not working, however if I share data with all views(by setting * as view name) the $giftCards variable is accessible from this view(gift-cards.blade.php).

If the views comes from the package might be namespaced with ::. Like modules::viewname or similar. https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/packages#views

But I have never used the package, so its just guessing :)

Edit: checked the docs, and here they seem to show how to add views to a namespace of blog::

@Sinnbeck I made a typo above. I tried:

View::composer(
    'ecommercegiftcards::pages.default.gift-cards',
    fn($view) => $view->with('giftCards', $giftCards)
);

With double semi colon but it did not work. I tried doing only this. without specifying namespace:

View::composer(
    'pages.default.gift-cards',
    fn($view) => $view->with('giftCards', $giftCards)
);

And it worked. Laravel somehow resolves it to current namespace and it does not need it in this compoer function.

So you only need to specify path and not the namespace of views you are sharing data with.
