added compact helper

[josephmancuso]

it is very repetitive when you want to have a variable name and you want to send a variable to the view with the same name. This may look something like this:

def show(self, view: View):
    posts = Post.all()
    users = User.all()
    return view.render('some.template', {'posts': posts, 'users': users})

now you can do:

from masonite.helpers import compact

def show(self, view: View):
    posts = Post.all()
    users = User.all()
    return view.render('some.template', compact(posts, users))

You can also pass in a dictionary which will update accordingly:

from masonite.helpers import compact

def show(self, view: View):
    posts = Post.all()
    users = User.all()
    user_blogs = Blog.where('user_id', 1).get()
    return view.render('some.template', compact(posts, users, {'blogs': user_blogs}))

return view.render('some.template', compact(posts, users))
