How to pass a single value from controller to view Laravel - laravel

Question

Hello i have made a function in my controller that generates random number and i want to pass that result number to the view.
This is the code of the controller:
public function create()
{
$randomNumber = random_int(100000, 999999);
$clients = Client::all();
$products = Product::all();
return view('orders/create',compact('clients','products'))
->with($randomNumber,(request()->input('page', 1) - 1) * 5);
}
I have inserted ->with($randomNumber) because i saw that people used this method when they had an array and would call it in the view {{$randomNumber->first}} but as i mentioned above i have a single value only not an array.
This is the view code:
<input id="orderNumber" type="orderNumber" class="form-control #error('name') is-invalid #enderror" name="orderNumber" value="{{ $randomNumber }}" required autocomplete="orderNumber">
But shows me this error:
Undefined variable $randomNumber

If you want send a random number to view you can do this :
public function create()
{
$randomNumber = random_int(100000, 999999);
$clients = Client::all();
$products = Product::all();
return view('orders/create',compact('clients','products'))
->with('randomNumber',$randomNumber);
}
Or you want send (request()->input('page', 1) - 1) * 5 named by randomNumber
->with('randomNumber',(request()->input('page', 1) - 1) * 5);

To set variables not necessary in your case.
Everything can be done in a more compact manner, like:
return view('orders/create',[
'clients' => Client::all(),
'products' => Product::all(),
'randomNumber' => random_int(100000, 999999),
])->with((request()->input('page', 1) - 1) * 5);
In blade/ view get variable like:
{{ $randomNumber }}
