proposal: a shorthand to use in blade about roles HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,
you always need to have User object. If we're talking only about Blade, you can take advantage of view composers in Laravel 5.

Then you can have something like this:

@if ($currentUser->is('admin'))
    //
@endif

Instead of this:

@if (Auth::user()->is('admin'))
    // something
@endif

But if I understand correctly, you want something like this?

@role ('admin')
    // something
@endrole

@permission ('edit_articles')
    // something
@endpermission

Please, specify me your vision :-).

There is also a very nice video about view composers in Laravel 5. Have a look!

This solution would be amazing:

@role ('admin')
    // something
@endrole

The below made me perfectly happy:

@if (Auth::user()->is('admin'))
   // something
@endif

What I was unable to do in my L4 solution was using multiple conditions. I just used ||
Can you give me an example of a syntax for sth like this:

 @if (Auth::user()->is('admin') || Auth::user()->is('Developer'))

desired solution would be sth like this:

@if (Auth::user()->is('Admin','Developer') 

Generally I would add more complicated examples in the readme.md file.

After you answer I will prepare a pull request with all working examples you have provided. My pleasure.

There is a way to check for multiple roles or permissions in one condition in my package.

if ($user->is('admin|moderator')) // or $user->is('admin, moderator') or $user->is(['admin', 'moderator'])
{
    // if user has at least one role
}

if ($user->is('admin|moderator', 'all')) // or $user->is('admin, moderator', 'all') or $user->is(['admin', 'moderator'], 'all')
{
    // if user has all roles that we check for
}

The same syntax applies to permissions.

Later today, I'll be working on this syntax for Blade:

@role ('admin')
    // something
@endrole

New release is out. Check it out. There are some changes.
