laravel - How can I reach base.php functions via my view files? -

i pass array/object database view file this:

view::make('home.announcements')     ->with('announcements', announcements::all());

when passed view file, contains integers, like:

 $announcements[$k]->month //output 05

i need call function inside base.php convert 05 "may", "may" result in view.

 <span> {{ $this->convertmonthtostring($announcements[$k]->month) }} </span>  //output: <span>may</span>

i know can pass directly ->with that's not i'm asking. don't want pass additional information using additional ->with's.

i want views handle basic output functions.

how can this?

you need create function in 'announcements' model called:

public function get_fullmonth() {    return date('f', strtotime($this->get_attribute('month'))); }

call in in view as:

@foreach ($announcements $item)    <span>{{$item->fullmonth}}</span> @endforeach
