Share value from database in all view in laravel 5 -

i'm new laravel. i'm trying create simple app variable shouold in every view. create setting model, many fields , unique slug field. share variable database i've created middleware:

public function handle($request, closure $next) {      $site_settings = cache::remember('settings', 60, function() {         return setting::all();     });      view()->share('site_settings', $site_settings);      return $next($request); } 

now show variable in view have:

{{{ $site_settings->get(0)->value }}} 

this works great, i'd have more intuitive code in view, accessing setting slug. like:

{{{ $site_settings->findbyslug("myvariable")->value }}} 

so it's possible filter collection unique slug?

info:

this assumes settings table structure following:

---------------------- | id |  key  | value | ---------------------- |  1 | title |  foo  | |  2 |  asd  |  bar  | |  3 |  qqq  |  zzz  | ---------------------- 

steps

step 1: put following newcollection method app\setting model:

class settings extends ... {     public function newcollection(array $models = array())     {         return new \app\collections\settingscollection($models);     } } 

step 2: put following lines app\collections\settingscollection class:

<?php namespace app\collections;  use illuminate\database\eloquent\collection;  class settingscollection extends collection {      public function get($name, $default = null)     {         return array_first($this->items, function($itemkey, $model) use ($name)         {             return $model->key == $name;         }, $default)->value;     }  } 

step 3: enjoy! collection i'm using. instead of this:

$settings = setting::all(); $settings->where('key', 'key_name')->first()->value; 

you can this:

$settings = setting::all(); echo $settings->get('key_name'); // returns value of setting key 'title'
