i am learning laravel, and i am using Auth::login on signup and Auth::attempt on login, i logged in and i am doing the following in my master layout (using blade php)
@if(!Auth::check())
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
@endif
@if(Auth::check())
<li><a href="{{ route('news') }}">News</a></li>
<li><a href="{{ route('admin') }}">Admin</a></li>
<li><a href="#">{{ session()->get('username') }}</a></li>
@endif
as you probably have noticed this is for the menu, when i am logged out i only get the Home menu and when i am logged in i only get News and Admin, i am trying to set display the users username in the menu aswell which will route to profile (not yet created)
i am sincerely sorry if i made a stupid mistake, im good at php but i am still very new to laravel and MVC in general
Depending on your session management code, your username might not be present in the Session facade. The default way of getting your user's data after login is to use: Auth::user().
If a user has the public attribute username, you'll be able to get it through
Auth::user()->username
By the way, it would also be good to use @else instead of checking again for inverse Auth::check() condition
