Laravel returning a response with params

Question

I want to do something like this:

return Response::view('survey.do')
              //->with('theme',$survey->theme);
              ->header('Cache-Control', 'no-cache, must-revalidate')
              ->header('Expires', 'Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT');

It says it can't find the theme definition in the view, problem is when i do:

View::make('survey.do')->with('theme',$survey->theme) 

It does work but I can't access the http response header, how can I achieve this?

Answer 1

Instead of using with and header pass arrays like this:

$data = array('theme' => $survey->theme);

$headres = array(
    'Cache-Control' => 'no-cache, must-revalidate',
    'Expires' => 'Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT'
);

return Response::view('survey.do', $data, '200', $headres);

This will work because this is the method signature/header in the Response class (Facade):

public static function view($view, $data = array(), $status = 200, array $headers = array())

In this case, it calls the make method of that class which is as follows:

public static function make($content = '', $status = 200, array $headers = array())
{
    return new IlluminateResponse($content, $status, $headers);
}
