Waravel Admin Bar Setup
The Waravel Admin Bar provides a WordPress-like admin bar on your frontend pages when you're logged in as a waravel_user.
✅ Automatic Setup (Recommended)
The admin bar is automatically included in Waravel's default page template. No additional setup required!
🔧 Manual Setup (If Using Custom Templates)
If you're using custom page templates, add this code to your template where you want the admin bar to appear:
blade
