For laravel 5.7 and above, use @auth and @guest directives.Here is the official documentation here

@auth
   // The user is authenticated...
@endauth
@guest
   // The user is not authenticated...
@endguest

You may specify the authentication guard that should be checked when using the @auth and @guest directives:

@auth('admin')
    // The user is authenticated...
@endauth

@guest('admin')
    // The user is not authenticated...
@endguest

Otherwise, you can use the @unless directive:

@unless (Auth::check())
    You are not signed in.
@endunless
