Laravel Blade and Angular brackets

I use one AngularController.php to render main.blade.php file that then renders angular. The only other blade file is the login page. I could have done this in the routes.php file but since the routes file has the login page I decided to place it in this controller.

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;


use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Config;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\View;
use Laracasts\Utilities\JavaScript\Facades\JavaScript;


/**
 * @Middleware("auth")
 */
class AngularController extends BaseController {

    use UserHelper;

    /**
     * @var UserService
     */
    private $userService;

    public function __construct(UserService $userService)
    {
        $this->userService = $userService;
    }

    /**
     * @Get("behat", as="behat.dash")
     */
	public function index()
	{

        Blade::setContentTags('<%', '%>'); 		// for variables and all things Blade
        Blade::setEscapedContentTags('<%%', '%%>'); 	// for escaped data
        $user_id = $this->getUserId();
        $profile = $this->userService->getPerson($user_id);
        $token = csrf_token();
        $chat_on = Config::get('app.chat_on', true);
        JavaScript::put(
            [
                'pusher_public_key' => $_ENV['PUSHER_PUBLIC'],
                'sauce_key' => $_ENV['SAUCE_TOKEN'],
                'sauce_user' => $_ENV['SAUCE_USER'],
                'profile' => $profile,
                'token' => $token,
                'debug' => Config::get('app.debug'),
            ]
        );
		return View::make('layouts.main', compact('chat_on'));
	}

}
