Passing data from controller to menu

What I do for the data is create a dummy view file that is empty called view_data.php

PHP Code:

$data = [
    'pageDescription' => '',
    'pageKewords'     => '',
    'pageAuthor'      => '',
    'pageTitle'       => '',
];

echo view('view_data', $data);
echo view('layouts/index-1'); 


Then all I have to do is load the view_data first and all views get the data.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
