Compare two objects in Laravel

Question

I have two objects out of my User model in Laravel. Let's say

public function someFunction(User $user) {
    $adminUser = User::where('role', '=', 1);
    if($adminUser === $user) {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

Is this the proper way to compare two objects in Laravel? As per PHP Object Comparison , this should work.

Thanks for any input.

Answer 1

Since $user is a User instance, you can do this without executing any additional queries:

public function someFunction(User $user) {
    return $user->role === 1;
}

This code will return true if user's role is 1 and false if role is not 1.

Answer 2

You should try this :

public function someFunction(User $user) {

    if($user->role === 1) {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

hope this work for you !!!
