How to use session in custom class laravel 5?

Add this clause to the top of the class, right after namespace part:

use Session;

Or use full namespace:

if (\Session::get('id') != null)

Or use the session() helper:

if (session('id') != null)

php laravel laravel-5

Your use needs to be after the namespace declaration:

//use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session; //Not herenamespace App\CustomLibraryuse Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session; //Here

Anything that is used before the namespace is used within the global namespace which changes once a namespace is declared.

php laravel laravel-5

use Session; in Model and Controller

// Via a request instance...

$request->session()->put('key', 'value');

// Via the global helper...

session(['key' => 'value']);
