By global, do you mean that the variable should be available for all blade templates? — linuxartisan, Aug 13 '16 at 14:13

In Controller or Service provider , you can add

View::share('result_view', 'SomeValue');

in any Blade template in your project you can use,

{{ $result_view }}

Becareful when using this with wildcards like View::share('folder.*') especially when your variable is retrieving from a database query. Every blade file being included or rendered makes 1 extra query and ends up making tons of the same query per blade file. – Bill L. Jul 10 '20 at 07:36

One way to do it is to define your variable in a config file and then you'll be able to get this var in all views, controllers etc.

{{ config('myConfig.someVariable') }}

Also, you can use view composer to set global variable.

No, this variable will not available inside function in template – Dev Aug 13 '16 at 13:03
You're right. Then you got two options: using `config()` method and using view composer. – Alexey Mezenin Aug 13 '16 at 13:12
