You can use authentication directly in the controller file. Adding it in the middleware is a cleaner way of doing the authentication.

For eg. In CategoriesController.php

...

class CategoryController extends Controller {

/**
 * CategoryController constructor.
 */
public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('auth');
}

...
