I noticed if I pass a second parameter to @include like this:

@include('sidebars.pages', array('categories' => Category::all()))

Then it is possible to replicate the concept of render partials within views and render partials within partials like in Rails.

Do I still need view composers with this functionality?

I appreciate any help!

Try View Composers to bind data to views. Works best for partial views

// View Composer Example View::composer(array('sidebars.pages'), function($view) { $view->with('categories', Categories::all()); }); @include('sidebars.pages')

Hello, where would the view composers live? Could it be in a composers.php file inside the app's root? I don't understand if they have to live in the controller, since they must be available anywhere.
You can create a folder to hold your view composers and include it start/global.php or just have it within in your app/routes.php file.
Ok Mr. mogetutu, I appreciate your answer and comment. Please could you tell me what happens if I need to pass parameters to a class method inside the view composer? Such as Blog_model::recent($post->category->id, 5)
how are you accessing the $post->category->id is it via the url? and are you using L3 or L4?
You can try sessions or caching the variables you are trying to access and accessing them inside the view composer.

While that may be possible it's not the documented use of @include. I'd use caution when doing it like that, and personally, I wouldn't be calling a model within your view. Bind the data you require from your route or controller. Make use of a presenter to perform any presentation logic to keep your views absolutely clean.

@include injects all currently defined variables into the nested partial view. So if you bound all the categories to the parent view, then used @include('sidebars.pages'), that view would also have the categories bound to it.

Ok, thank you Mr. Lewis, I'll play with presenters and give it a try.
