Syntax to put variable inside an if condition in a blade

Question

I'm trying to show an HTML containing variables if a condition was met, else just show "test" word.

<a href="/StuffSpot/notifPost/{{ $notification->id }}">{{ $notification->read == 1 ? '<strong>{{$notification->send_uname}}</strong> has commented on <strong>{{$notification->title}}</strong> post' : 'test' }}</a>

I'm receiving the following error :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting ',' or ')'

<a href="/StuffSpot/notifPost/{{ $notification->id }}">
    @if($notification->read == 1)
        <strong> {{ $notification->send_uname }}</strong> has commented on <strong>{{ $notification->title }}</strong> post
    @else
        test
    @endif
 </a>

Try if else instead of one line Ternary Logic.

Also you have already used {{ }} to echo out, dont use {{ }} inside another, to display the html tags use {!! !!}, laravel blade {{ }} will escape and echo out the html tags inside these field
