Laravel: Make a variable accessable from anywhere within the Laravel application

jeudi 29 octobre 2015

I make a cURL request to an API

http://site/user

I got back this response

    data: Object
    first_name: "Bob"
    last_name: "Jones"

I grab the first name and last name and concatenate them together and stored into a variable call $name.

$fn = VSE::user('first_name',$username);
$ln = VSE::user('last_name',$username);
$name = ucwords($fn.' '.$ln); // Bob Jones

I want to display this $name on my navigation.

Sending this $name variable with every view would be a little over kill. I'm seeking for a better way of doing this.

What should I do to make that variable accessable throughout my application routes/views ?

Restriction: I don't have the access to the Auth::user object.
