Question

Using laravels Spatie/Roles is there a way to get the current users role who is logged in?

I've tried

if($this->hasRole('admin')) { //do something }

but it wont work

Answer 1

In your Model that uses the Spatie\Permission\Traits\HasRoles trait, which is in most cases User, you can call various methods for verifying or retrieving roles.
They are:

• roles
• hasRole
• hasAnyRole
• hasAllRoles
• getRoleNames

Usage example

For a given user,

$roles = $user->getRoleNames();// Returns a collection

Reference here.

Answer 2

{{ Auth::user()->roles->pluck('name') }}

Answer 3

Figured it out, for those of you out there this is how you do it.

if(Auth::user()->hasRole('my_role_name'))
{
    // do something
}
  //otherwise do something else
