if else condition in blade file (laravel 5.3)

Question

I want to check if / else condition in my blade file. I want to check the condition $user->status =='waiting' as the code given below. Output returns correctly as I expected. But along with my output I caught curly braces {} printed. I want to remove curly braces in result. Is there anything wrong in my if condition?

@if($user->status =='waiting')
         {
           <td><a href="#" class="viewPopLink btn btn-default1" role="button" data-id="{{ $user->travel_id }}" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Approve/Reject<a></td>
         }
         @else{
           <td>{{ $user->status }}</td>
         }
         @endif

Answer 1

No curly braces required you can directly write

@if($user->status =='waiting')         
      <td><a href="#" class="viewPopLink btn btn-default1" role="button" data-id="{{ $user->travel_id }}" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Approve/Reject<a></td>         
@else
      <td>{{ $user->status }}</td>        
@endif

I think you are putting one too many curly brackets. Try this

 @if($user->status=='waiting')
            <td><a href="#" class="viewPopLink btn btn-default1" role="button" data-id="{!! $user->travel_id !!}" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Approve/Reject</a> </td>
            @else
            <td>{!! $user->status !!}</td>
        @endif

You don't have to use braces in blade conditions, so your code would be like this:

@if($user->status =='waiting')
    <td>
        <a href="#" class="viewPopLink btn btn-default1" role="button" data-id="{{ $user->travel_id }}" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">
            Approve/Reject
        <a>
    </td>
@else
    <td>
        {{ $user->status }}
    </td>
@endif

If wants to assign value on basis of if else inside blade.

@if($shipping_fee    >= 1 )
          @php
          $shipping_fee = $any_variable1
          @endphp
@else
          @php
          $shipping_fee = $any_variable2
          @endphp
@endif
