So I have a Laravel application, I login and get redirected to my home page where the header is suppose to be changed but it isn't.

        <ul>

            <a  href="{{URL:: route( 'login' )}}" id="logo">

                <img src="{{asset('assets/img/rentalstallLogo.jpg')}}" alt="Logo">

            </a> 

            <li><a >Qui somme-nous</a> </li>

            <li><a >Événements & concours </a></li>

            @auth

            <li>

                <form action="{{ route('signout')}}" method="GET">

                @csrf 

                    <button type="submit" id='logoutButton'> logout </button>

                </form>

            </li>

            <li><a id="connexion-link" href={{route( 'login' )}}>account</a> </li>

            @endauth

            @guest

            <li><a href={{route( 'register-user' )}} >Inscriptions</a> </li>

            <li><a id="connexion-link" href={{route( 'login' )}}>Connexion</a> </li>

            @endguest

            <li><a id="language-link" href="#">fr</a> </li>

        </ul>

i also tried if (Auth::check()) and if (Auth->check())

here is my log in function :

            'email' => 'required',

            'password' => 'required'

        ]);



        $credentials = $request->except(['_token']);



        $user = User::where('email',$request->email)->first();



        if (auth()->attempt($credentials)) {



            return redirect()->intended('/');

            



        }else{

            session()->flash('message', 'Invalid credentials');

            return redirect()->back();

        }

My Answer:
It looks like you are using the correct syntax for checking if a user is authenticated in your blade template with `@auth` and `@endauth`.

However, the issue might be with how you are handling the authentication in your login function.

Instead of using `auth()->attempt($credentials)`, you can try using `Auth::attempt($credentials)` like this:

php
if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
return redirect()->intended('/');
} else {
session()->flash('message', 'Invalid credentials');
return redirect()->back();
}


Make sure you have imported the Auth facade at the top of your controller:

php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;


Also, ensure that your User model is using the `Authenticatable` trait:

php
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
// Your User model code here
}


By making these changes, your authentication should work correctly in Laravel 8.
