You need to configure the relationship for that to work.
https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/eloquent-relationships
Then you can do:
Auth::user()->role->name

Show user roles from other table
Hello,
I want to get the specific user role for the logged in user, but I don't know what to do after getting the Auth::user. I have the following code now:
public function index()
{
$roles = Role::all();
return view('admin.dashboard', ['roles' => $roles]);
}
My view where I try to get the role:
<p>
{{ucfirst(Auth::user()->name)}} - {{ Auth::user()->$roles->name }}
<small>Member since {{ucfirst(Auth::user()->created_at->format("M d Y"))}}</small>
</p>
Everything is in the same table except the user roles and I dont know how to get into there, i tried this: {{ Auth::user()->$roles->name }}

@thefuzzy0ne Hi, I've made this relation
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\User', 'user_role', 'role_id', 'user_id');
}
public function roles()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Role', 'user_role', 'user_id', 'role_id');
}

I don't know if this is the best solution but this works, if someone have another better method please tell it.
Controller should look like this
public function index()
{
$user = User::all();
return view('admin.dashboard');
}
@foreach
(Auth::user()->roles as $roles)
{{ $roles->name }}
@endforeach

Hi @ThomHofstede ,
Like @thefuzzy0ne mentioned the best thing is to create a relationship between User and Role model to (eager) load the associated roles. I am assuming a user can have more then one role.
public function roles() {
return $this->belongsToMany(Role::class);
}
You can then use this in your blade template:
@foreach(auth()->user()->roles as $role)
<li>{{ $role->name }}</li>
@endforeach
