Don't do this kind of logic in template.

Blade if statement
Hi All,
I'm attempting to compile the following in a partial to a blade template without much success, appears if I add an || (OR) conditional into the if statement it will not work correctly, am I missing something? There was not an example of multiple conditionals in the documentation so many i'm doing something that isn't supported?
@if(Request::path() != '/' || Request::path() != 'another/url')
...some code
@endif
Thanks

@sukonovs what suggestions would you have for this situation? I'm trying to show certain buttons in a partial depending on the url the user is on. Would it be better to just build separate partials then?
Thanks

In Controller:
$isSomeCondition = Request::path() != '/' || Request::path() != 'another/url'; // import request or use global namespace with \
Then pass variable to the view...
In view:
@if($isSomeCondition)
// do the stuff
@endif
First of all you extracted app logic form tempalte, and in template condition is more descriptive. If controller is full of logic you can extract this to separate Class or make a global function... but it is a good first step.

@ShaunL What's the error you are getting? An || (OR) conditional should work inside blade if conditionals.
The problem I see with the current example is that the if conditional will always return true.

Best to put that logic in a view composer rather than in controllers to avoid copy and paste wherever the partial is used.

^ This.
!(Request::is('/') || Request::is('another/url'))

@phildawson @thomaskim @sukonovs thank you all for your help! I'll extract the logic to the controller, I might also explore view composer but not sure if I'll need it since this should be a fairly basic thing.
