title: laravel 5.2 cant pass variable to view
body: <p>I have a very simple controller and view. But for some reason I am unable to pass a variable to my view. Note that <code>echo $project-&gt;title</code> inside the router works.</p>
  
  <p>Controller:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
  namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
  use App\Http\Requests;
  use Illuminate\Http\Request;
  use Auth;
  class HomeController extends Controller
  {
      /**
       * Create a new controller instance.
       *
       * @return void
       */
      public function __construct()
      {
          $this-&gt;middleware('auth');
      }
  
      /**
       * Show the application dashboard.
       *
       * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
       */
      public function index()
      {
          $project = \App\Projects::find(1);
          return view('home', $project);
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>}</p>
  
  <p>View:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        &lt;div class="panel-body"&gt;
              You are logged in!
              {{ $project-&gt;title }}
          &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But for some reason I keep getting this error:</p>
