Blade templates about bouncer

[JosephSilber]

Bouncer works directly with Laravel's gate, so you can use the @can directive:

@can ('ability', $model)

I consider checking for roles directly an anti-pattern, so we don't ship an @is blade directive.

If you insist on checking directly for a role, you can use the standard @if directive:

@if ($user->is('admin'))

Okay, you have reason. It is not neccesary repeat code. Thank you!

If you want this you can do it your own with a BladeServiceProvider and add this blade tag.

But I also don't see any real reason to add this in the package.

To reiterate, I consider checking for roles directly something that shouldn't really ever be done.

To quote the docs:

Generally speaking, you should not have a need to check roles directly. It is better to allow a role certain abilities, then check for those abilities instead. If what you need is very general, you can create very broad abilities. For example, an access-dashboard ability is always better than checking for admin or editor roles directly.

Like I said above, if you still want to check for a user's role directly, you can use this:

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

I think that this is precisely the reason why there is a @can blade directive and no @role by default in Laravel.

@Arcesilas Laravel's own ACL has no notion of a role, so it wouldn't make sense for Laravel to ship a @role directive.

Ahem... You're right ^^ Sorry, tired nowadays...
