php - if else condition in blade file (laravel 5.3)

Question

I want to check if/else condition in my blade file. I want to check the condition $user->status =='waiting' as the code given below. Output returns correctly as I expected. But along with my output I caught curly braces {} printed. I want to remove curly braces in result. Is there anything wrong in my if condition ?

@if($user->status =='waiting')
         {
           <td><a href="#" class="viewPopLink btn btn-default1" role="button" data-id="{{ $user->travel_id }}" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Approve/Reject<a></td>
         }
         @else{
           <td>{{ $user->status }}</td>
         }
         @endif

Answer 1

No curly braces required you can directly write

@if($user->status =='waiting')         
      <td><a href="#" class="viewPopLink btn btn-default1" role="button" data-id="{{ $user->travel_id }}" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Approve/Reject<a></td>         
@else
      <td>{{ $user->status }}</td>        
@endif
