Since Laravel 5.5 the @switch is built into the Blade. Use it as shown below.

@switch($login_error)
    @case(1)
        <span> `E-mail` input is empty!</span>
        @break

    @case(2)
        <span>`Password` input is empty!</span>
        @break

    @default
        <span>Something went wrong, please try again</span>

Unfortunately Laravel Blade does not have switch statement. You can use Laravel if else approach or use use plain PHP switch. You can use plain PHP in blade templates like in any other PHP application. Starting from Laravel 5.2 and up use @php statement.

Option 1:

@if ($login_error == 1)
    `E-mail` input is empty!
@elseif ($login_error == 2)
    `Password` input is empty!
@endif

In Laravel 5.1, this works in a Blade:

<?php
    switch( $machine->disposal ) {
        case 'DISPO': echo 'Send to Property Disposition'; break;
        case 'UNIT':  echo 'Send to Unit'; break;
        case 'CASCADE': echo 'Cascade the machine'; break;
        case 'TBD':   echo 'To Be Determined (TBD)'; break;
    }
?>
