Laravel 4 Blade @set operator

A very simple blade extension which allows variables to be set.

Current version is for Laravel 4.2.

If you wish to use with Laravel 4.1, please use v1.0.2

Example

@set('my_variable', $existing_variable)

You can then use the variable $my_variable in the template.

You might choose to fetch a bunch of models from your template, for example

@set('my_model_list', MyModel::where('something', '=', 1)->paginate(10))

Why?

Compare

<?php $my_model_list = MyModel::where('something', '=', 1)->paginate(10); ?>

to

@set('my_model_list', MyModel::where('something', '=', 1)->paginate(10))

I felt that the use of the @set was a more elegant solution in the context of blade templates.
