How do I use the put method in Laravel?

posted 9 years ago

This is my code:

<?php
namespace App\Users;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;

class Mapper
{
    public function areValidCredentials($username, $password)
    {
        $result = User::find(['username' => $username])->fetch('password');

        if(password_verify($password, $result)) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

    public function createSession($username)
    {
        Session::put('username', $username);
    }
}

But, it says me this: method 'put' not found in the class 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session'

instead of use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session; add use Session

Use the Session class in the root namespace.

I.e.

public function createSession($username)
{
    \Session::put('username', $username); // Note the backslash to indicate the root class path.
}

The use Session; method should also work.

If this still doesn't work you can use the session() helper function which returns a session instance:

public function createSession($username)
{
   session()->put('username', $username);

   var_dump( session()->get('username') ); // outputs the value of $username
}
