How pass a variable from view to controller in Laravel without using the URL or forms

Question

What if I want to pass a variable like $k =1 (but the value of $K changes because it's a for loop counter) from view as an argument in a function in the controller without using the URL. The status column is represented in the database table "parcel" from 0-2. For example, in the foreach loop if the value of $k =0 then the controller function gets the value of $k, counts the number of times 0 appears in the database (status) using the count() method, then returns the value of count to the View.

View

@php
$status_arr = array("Item Accepted by Courier","Collected","Shipped");
@endphp

@foreach($status_arr as $k =>$v)
<!-- Parcel stages -->
<div class="col-xl-3 col-md-6 mb-4">
    <div class="card border-left-warning shadow h-100 py-2">
        <div class="card-body">
            <div class="row no-gutters align-items-center">
                <div class="col mr-2">
                    <div class="text-xs font-weight-bold text-warning 
                        text-uppercase mb-1">
                        {{$v}}
                    </div>
                    <div class="h5 mb-0 font-weight-bold text-gray-800">
                        {{$statuses}}
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="col-auto">
                    <i class="fas fa-bicycle fa-2x text-gray-300"></i>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
@endforeach

Controller

function total_parcels()
{
    $status = DB::table('parcels')
        ->where('status', '=', $k)
        ->count();

    return view('dashboard', ['statuses' => $status]);
}

Route

Route::get('dashboard', [DashboardController::class, 'total_parcels']);

You can't pass a variable to the Controller, because the controller code runs before the view. You can however use a component to load a part of the view, where you can run code like in a controller — Gert B.

You can create a helper function, you can create a component, you can use Ajax, but should not call a controller function from the view. Thats just not how MVC works. — Gert B.

With XMLHttpRequest you can send data from client / View data . — Maik Lowrey

Can't you calculate statuses and their counts in the controller. Then pass the prepared data to the view for just "displaying" it?

I think you didn't have to pass data from view to controller.
