Answer 1

Set the session variable with value as follows..

 Session::put('key','value');

Retrieve value using

In controller

 $value = Session::get('key');

In view

 {{Session::get('key')}}

Answer 2

You can use the global session helper which is available in laravel 5.8.

Set session simply by using

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

Retrieve session using

$value = session('key');
