Laravel : having the same element on each of my pages

Question

On Laravel 5.2, I'm trying to put two menus (X latest contents, and the same for a specific user) on near every page.

The lazy way would be to generate those arrays in each of the controllers, but is there a way to generate it when the templating system needs them ?

For instance, my template could call something like {{ $menu }} and the menu would be generated only when this was present ?

If you want more help about that you can see my answer here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35040684/how-to-share-a-variable-across-all-views/35042335#35042335 — Panagiotis Koursaris, Jan 30 '16 at 19:12

Laravel has a feature called view composer ,which lets you do some actions when a template file is loaded.

you could set the X latest contents into a template file and then include it wherever you want to and use view composer to fetch the data.
