what's the difference between Sessions

Hello

What is the difference between Session Facade and Request session in general

// session facade
Session::put()

// request sessions
request()->session()->put();

Level 102

In theory just 2 ways to get to the same place :)

The session facace calls the SessionManager which calls the Store class where the put() method exists

The request()->session() get the bound session class for the request (the Store class), where it calls put()

Under the hook helper call facade, so only a small difference :

helper : easier to write

facade :very small less cpu time consumption

@sr57 I didn't know that.

Does that mean using facades is more efficient? why?

Level 39

Efficiency = ratio of utility versus energy consumed

utility is the same
what energy do you want to take in account ( workload to write, maintain, ... the code, ie investment, or energy to run the code) ? The answer to your question depends on this, but remember that we are speaking of some internal calls and the are MUCH MORE inefficiency in every codes even from the best dev of us. In fact in term of cpu usage a framawork (Laravel, ...) is inefficient, same for OOP :-)
