Filters in Laravel 5

Question

How do we make filters in Laravel 5? Is the idea of filters going away?

Answer 1

I personally think that adding a middleware is a good practice, but if you happen to ever need a quick small filtering for a controller, rubyonrails-style,

do as follows:

class myController{

   //filters
   public function myFilter()
   {
      //my filter's logic
   }

   public function __construct()
   {
     $this->myFilter();
     //middlewares or any other code
   }


 }
