            'default' => [
                'showMenu' => false,
                'pageTitle' => 'Awesome title',
                'someArray' => [0,1,2,3]
            ]
        ]
    ],

Limited to Action

'layout_variables' => [
        Controller\IndexController::class => [
            'index' => [
                'showMenu' => false,
                'pageTitle' => 'Awesome title',
                'someArray' => [0,1,2,3]
            ]
        ]
    ],

And now you can use it in your layout:

<?php if($this->showMenu !== false) ?>
    <div class="awesomeMenu"></div>
<?php endif; ?>
