laravel how to check if session variable is empty

Question

How can I check if this session is empty, here example

 @elseif {{Session::get('package_id')}}=null
 @include('index.customer.customerpackage')

and how to check if {{Session::get('package_id')}}=1 then Free else Paid

Solution 1

You can use

@elseif (session()->has('package_id'))

to verify if it's in session or in case it might be in session but also set to null, you can use:

@elseif (session()->get('package_id'))

Solution 2

Here:

$value = $request->session()->get('package_id', function () {
    return 'Return this if session key does not exist';
});

It's better to prepare a variable in a controller.

Why not just use @elseif (session('package_id'))?
