Laravel - IF statement throwing errors

Question

I am new to using Laravel and am attempting to use my first if statement but unfortunately it throws an error:

Whoops, looks like something went wrong!

Code:

{{ @if($includes)
        good
   @else
        bad
}}

So I attempted to debug:

{{ @if(true)
        good
   @else
        bad
}}

then:

{{ @if(true === true)
        good
   @else
        bad
}}

All fail. What is it that I am doing wrong?

The blade directives do not need to be enclosed in braces. Remove the {{}}, those are needed only when you try to echo variables.

Also that should be in blade view files only.

@if(true === true)
        good
   @else
        bad
@endif
