Injecting random variable into every View in Laravel

Question

I am just getting started with Laravel and working on porting a mess of a site to the framework. One feature of the site is a dynamically added image in the header. I am using a common Blade template and was wondering if there is any way to inject a random variable (an integer between 1 and 4 would do) into every View that uses that layout. What I would like to do is to be able to add something like so in the the common template- `

` with `$randomInt` sent to every View

Accepted Answer

You could look into View composers

So you would have something like:

```
View::composer('your.view', function($view)
{
    $view->with('randomInt', rand(1,4));
}
```

That will pass the $randomInt variable in everytime you use the 'your.view' (or whatever) View.
