Session Tag

Sessions provide a stateless way to store information about the user across requests. The session tag will let you get, set, and forget session data.

Retrieving Session Data

You can use {{ session }} as a tag pair to access all the data inside your user's session.

{{ session }}

    {{ message }}

{{ /session }}

<s:session>

  {{ $message }}

</s:session>

Welcome to the session.

You can also retrieve single variables with a single tag syntax.

{{ session:message }}

{{-- Using Antlers Blade Components --}}

<s:session:message />



{{-- Using session() helper --}}

{{ session()->get('message') }}

Setting and Forgetting

You can set data with session:set, flash data with session:flash, forget it with session:forget, and flush the entire session with session:flush.

Checking

You can check if data is set in a session with session:has.

{{ if {session:has key="has_voted"} === true }}

  You already voted. Thank you!

{{ /if }}

@if (session()->has('has_voted') === true)

  You already voted. Thank you!

@endif

Debugging

If you want to peek into the session and check the data, do so with with session:dump or the debug bar.

Aliasing

If you need extra markup around your session data, you can alias a new child array variable.

{{ session as="sesh" }}

  {{ sesh }}

    {{ message }}

  {{ /sesh }}

{{ /session }}

{{-- Using the session() helper and PHP --}}

@php($sesh = session()->all())
