laravel 5 - Passing values from one controller to another -

been @ ages, can't find solution. i've searched , none of posts help, possibly me not getting i'm new laravel (5.4)

i want able able access $site_settings 1 controller another. $site_settings need accessible on controllers , views. need variable url (hence request in __construct( request $request ) ) doesn't work either.

would appreciate assistance.

thanks.

see code below:

//basecontroller class basecontroller extends controller {      public function __construct( request $request )      {         $slug = $request->slug;          $site_settings = \db::table('sites_settings')->where('slug', $slug)->first();          view::share( 'site_settings', ['slug' => $slug, 'color' => $color] );      }    }  class settingscontroller extends basecontroller {     // settingscontroller     public function index( )     {                         //how access $site_settings here , pass on view?          // return view('settings.index');     } } 

---- update session ----

 //basecontroller  class basecontroller extends controller {  public function __construct()  {      $slug = route::input('slug');      if(session::get('slug') == $slug)     {         dd(session::get('slug'));     }     else     {         $site_settings = \db::table('sites_settings')->where('slug', $slug)->first();          session::put('slug', $site_settings->slug);     }   }    

}
