How can I pass variables from a middleware to a controller or a route that executes such middleware? I saw some post about appending it to the request like this: $request->attributes->add(['key' => $value); also others sugested using flash: Session::flash('key', $value); but I am not sure if that is best practice, or if there is a better way to do this? Here is my Middleware and route: namespace App\Http\Middleware; use Closure; class TwilioWorkspaceCapability { /** * Handle an incoming request. * * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request * @param \Closure $next * @return mixed */ public

Goal I'm trying to create Admin route restriction for my log-in users. I've tried a check to see if my user is log-in , and also if the user type is Admin , and if they are, I want to allow them access to the admin route, otherwise, respond a 404. routes.php <!-- Route group --> $router->group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function() { <!-- No Restriction --> Route::get('dashboard','WelcomeController@index'); <!-- Admin Only --> if(Auth::check()){ if ( Auth::user()->type == "Admin" ){ //Report Route::get('report','ReportController@index'); Route::get('report/create', array('as'=>'report.create',

I would like to be able to override the routes defined in app/Http/routes.php with a route in a package. For example, in app/Http/routes.php I might have this: Route::get('/search/{type?}',['as' => 'search','uses' => 'SearchController@search']); I want to be able to define this in /vendor/author/package/src/Http/routes.php: Route::get('/search/properties', ['as' => 'properties','uses' => 'PropertyController@search']); The app/Http/routes.php file is loaded first so the route in their is used, not the package. In Laravel 4 I would do this using App::before or App::after, giving them a priority.

The Laravel 5 documentation describes two ways of assigning Middleware : Assign middleware to the controller's route. Specify middleware within your controller's constructor. However, I realised that any code written in the controllers __construct() function will run before the Middleware , even if the Middleware is declared on the first line of the controller's __construct function. I found a bug report for a similar issue in the Laravel github repository. However a collaborator closed the issue stating "This is the expected behaviour.". I am thinking that middleware should be "layers"

Is it possible to add middleware to all or some items of a resourceful route? For example... <?php Route::resource('quotes', 'QuotesController'); Furthermore, if possible, I wanted to make all routes aside from index and show use the auth middleware. Or would this be something that needs to be done within the controller? In QuotesController constructor you can then use: $this->middleware('auth', ['except' => ['index','show']]); Reference: Controller middleware in Laravel 5 You could use Route Group coupled with Middleware concept: http://laravel.com/docs/master/routing Route::group([

I'm trying to use the authentication system that comes built in with laravel 5.2. The login seems to be working correctly, if I replace the return statement with Auth::check(), it returns true. But when I redirect to '/', Auth::check() suddenly returns false in my Auth middleware. Sessions Create method: public function create(Request $request) { $email = $request->email; $password = $request->password; if(Auth::attempt(['email' => $email, 'password' => $password])) { return redirect()->intended('/'); // returns true when replaced with Auth::check(); } return redirect("login"); } Auth

I've been running into some issues with Laravel's middleware. Let me tell you the basic idea of what I'm trying to accomplish: Registered users on the site will have one of four roles: Student (default): can access ' index ' and ' show ' views Approver: can access previous, plus ' overview ', ' update ' Editor: can access previous, plus ' create ', ' edit ' and ' store ' Admin: can access everything fyi: 'overview' is sort of an index view, but only for approver role and higher What would you guys suggest is the best way to go about doing this? This is what I've done so far, but it doesn't
