How to check current authentication guard and its guest in laravel blade template?

Question

I am working on a Laravel Project. i have 2 authentication guards. This is the first time i am working with multiple authentication guard.

Usually on front end i use to separate code for Guest and Logged in Users as:

@guest
    //Data for Guest Users.   
@endguest

@auth
    //Data for Logged in Users.
@endauth

Now with multiple Guards, @guest is only false when i logged in to system with default guard. ie, @guest is active even when i am logged in through 'Admin Guard'. How can i check if a user is a guest for Admin Guard or if user logged in through Admin guard?

It depends on what your guards names are. Usually 'web' is the default guard in laravel. and it will be mentioned at auth.php inside the config directory as:

defaults' => [
    'guard' => 'web',
    'passwords' => 'users',
],

So when ever you check @guest or @auth, Guard of 'web' is checked. To Check for a different guard, say 'admin', you can specify it as:

@guest('admin')
    //Data for Guest Users of admin guard.   
@endguest

@auth('admin')
    //Data for Logged in Users of admin guard.
@endauth
