View.php

TLDR

This file is part of the Illuminate\Contracts\View namespace and it defines the View interface. It extends the Renderable interface and contains three methods: name(), with(), and getData().

Methods

name

This method returns the name of the view as a string.

with

This method allows adding a piece of data to the view. It accepts two parameters: $key, which can be either a string or an array, and $value, which is optional. It returns the instance of the view itself, allowing chaining of method calls.

getData

This method returns an array with the view data.

Note: The file does not contain any classes.
