What is the best method to create global site / page footer

I have a home page with a footer section made of 3 textarea fields in the home.yml

footC:
	label: Footer Centre
	type: textarea
	help: The Centre text
footL:
	label: Footer Left
	type: textarea
	help: The Left Area
footR:
	label: Footer Right
	type: textarea
	help: The Right area

How another page “somepage.php” reference the home page content.
I started writing a controller …

<?php

return function($page) {
   
   $fleft = get('footL');
   $fcent = get('footC');
   $fright = get('footR');

   $alert = null;

   return [
      'footLeft' => $fleft,
      'footCentre' => $fcent,
      'footRight' => $fright,

   ];


};

But I’m not sure how to progress from here.

You can put your footer fields in site.yml instead of home.yml. The fields will be available on all pages.

You can access any page using the page helper with a path to the page

page('home')?->fieldname()

But I agree, this data would be better off in the site object if you want to use it throughout the site
