How to pass Variable to Views in Laravel Controller

Question

I have a controller in Laravel 5.0 like this-

    <?php

    namespace App\Http\Controllers;

    use Illuminate\Http\Request;
    use App\Http\Requests;
    use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

    class CustomersController extends CustomerLayoutController
    {
        public function getDashboard()
        {
            return $this->view('layouts.customer.dashboard', []);
        }

        public function getTest()
        {
            return $this->view('layouts.admin.webinar', ['qustions' => DB::table('qustions')->get()]);
        }
    }

So, I want to pass DB::table('qustions')->get() as a parameter to my views, but I m getting error.

What I am doing wrong?

You're getting an error because Laravel is searching the class is the wrong namespace (it's "appending" the class to the current class's namespace, if you note).

You either import the DB class with the use keywords:

 use Illuminate\Http\Request;
 use App\Http\Requests;
 use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
 use DB;

or let it know that DB resides in the "global" application namespace, so call it with a backslash:

return $this->view('layouts.admin.webinar', ['questions' => \DB::table('qustions')->get()]);

Thanks for helping me

It's worth mentioning that inside the config/app.php resides a key aliases which will map 'DB' => 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB'.
