laravel - Include more controllers into a single page -

i started learning laravel, , want include second controller main layout.

the route default root directory: /

and layout looks this:

<div class="container">     @yield('content') </div> <div class="basket">     ~basket comes here~ </div> 

i want show user's basket, need db queries that, , can't find way include other controller, atleast not routing.

i'm not asking code (sadly didn't find better place question), need designing tip, feel i'm trying wrong, since couldn't find relevant/helpful information this.

and dont want put basket every controller uses main layout.

any kind of apreciated, i'm lost :)

you should use view composers. open appserviceprovider , inside boot() method add following:

view()->composer('your.layout.name', function ($view) {     $basket = ...// basket query here      $view->with('basket', basket); }); 

this says, when view name your.layout.name composed, add variable name $basket.
