Passing variables to blocks

[marlonbasten]

Is there a way to pass variables to blocks?
At the moment I have to use the @php @endphp tags in the views directly.
If I call the renderBlocks() method in a view and the view has the variables the blocks need, I still get a variable not found error.

Hey @marlonbasten,

I think you may be looking for the $data argument of renderBlocks().

You can use it to pass extra data to your blocks, like so :

@php
  $context = $page->getContext();
@endphp

{!! $page->renderBlocks(true, [], ['context' => $context]) !!}

Also, you may be interested in Laravel's View::share(), that would allow you to make certain variables globally accessible to all your Blade views (including custom blocks).

Hope this can help!
