                        </ul>
                    </li>
                    <li><a href="#">Staff Attendance</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Payroll</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Gallery</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Food</a></li>

                </ul>
                <li><a href="">SoCo Help</a></li>
            </li>
        </ul>

        <!-- Right Side Of Navbar -->
        <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
            <!-- Authentication Links -->
            @if (Auth::guest())
                <li><a href="{{ route('login') }}">Login</a></li>
                <li><a href="{{ route('register') }}">Register</a></li>
            @else

                <li class="dropdown">
                    <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false">
                       {{--  {{ Auth::user()->username }} <span class="caret"></span> --}}
                       <img class="avtar" src="uploads/profile/{{Auth::user()->user_profile_pic}}" style="height: 19px;">
                        {{ Auth::user()->first_name}} {{Auth::user()->last_name }}<span class="caret"></span>
                    </a>

                    <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
                        <li>
                            <a href="{{ route('logout') }}"
                                onclick="event.preventDefault();
                                         document.getElementById('logout-form').submit();">
                                {{-- <i class="fa fa-fw fa-sign-out"> Logout</i> --}}
                                <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-log-out"></i> Logout
                            </a>

                            <form id="logout-form" action="{{ route('logout') }}" method="POST" style="display: none;">
                                {{ csrf_field() }}
                            </form>
                        </li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
            @endif
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>

I have added script for drop-down submenu as

$('.dropdown-submenu a').on("click", function(e){                    
                    $(this).next('ul').toggle();
                    e.stopPropagation();
                    e.preventDefault();                    
            });

So what is the proper way to accomplish this? It should work for collapse too.

You can use jQuery for it. On hovering the <li>, find the .dropdown-menu which is sub-menu list and make it fadeIn and fadeOut.

$('ul.nav li.dropdown').hover(function() {
  $(this).find('.dropdown-menu').fadeIn(500);
}, 
function() {
  $(this).find('.dropdown-menu').fadeOut(500);
});
