Call to a member function session() on null

public function success() {

  $paid = $this->request->session()->get('paid');
  if ($paid['paid'] == true ) {
    return redirect('payments/confirmed');
  }

.....

}

The below when called is returning:

"Call to a member function session() on null"

Do sessions always need to be set or not Null for you to reference them? And if so, is there a work around?

You can access session data like

if($request->session()->get('paid.paid')) {
    return redirect('payments/confirmed');
}

if the value is not set, you will get null back.

dd($request->session()->get('cats'));    //null

Level 3

my $Request was broken
