How to pass params from laravel to ReactJS?

Question

My application uses Lavarel and I have certain ReactJS components. Routing is done by Laravel. For a route /Users/<userid>, if the controller is UserController.php and view is userview.blade.php, how do I get the <userid> from the URL in my react component loaded in a div on userview.blade.php?

You can try out this library from Laracasts which allows you to pass server-side data (string/array/collection) to your JavaScript via a Facade in your Controller.

This may look something like this (haven't tested it, but you get the gist).

public function UserController($userid)
{
    JavaScript::put([
        'userid' => $userid,
    ]);

    return View::make('yourview');
}

The docs further show how to access it from your view.
