Undefined variable when trying to pass data to the view - Laravel 5

Question

I'm trying to include a view on all of my pages (code is below), so I've included it within my layout template (so it renders on everything). Unfortunately, when I try and run any page - this error occurs:

Undefined variable: sites (View: /Users/Documents/audit/resources/views/layouts/check.blade.php)

View (check.blade.php):

@if (count($sites) == 0)
 // Removed as it is irrelevant.
@endif

Controller:

public function siteCheck()
{
  return View::make('layouts.check')
                  ->with('sites', Site::where('user_id', Auth::id())
                  ->get());
}

Where I try and include the view (which shows the error):

@if(!Auth::guest())
  @include('layouts.check')
@endif

N.B. I haven't added any code relating to the layouts.check page within the routes.

Many thanks for your help.

Problem is that when You include file layouts.check method siteCheck() isn't launched (and therefore varaible $sites don't exist).

You have couple of options:

add a variable when incuding file

@include('layouts.check', ['sites' => $sites]) (Still You will need to pass $sites from the contoller tho the master view.)

add view composer which add this variable every time the view will be included

see: https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/views#view-composers

In Your case it would look like this:

public function boot()
{
    view()->composer('layouts.check', function ($view) {

        $view->with('sites', Site::where('user_id', Auth::id())
              ->get());
    });
}

Try to this

@if(isset($sites)&&count($sites) == 0)
 // Removed as it is irrelevant.
@endif

NOTE:

whene you use @include('layouts.check') you not set $sites
