Laravel 5 Resourceful Routes Plus Middleware

Question

Is it possible to add middleware to all or some items of a resourceful route?

For example...

Answer 1

Been looking for a better solution for Laravel 5.8+.

Here's what i did:

Apply middleware to resource, except those who you do not want the middleware to be applied. (Here index and show)

 Route::resource('resource', 'Controller', [
            'except' => [
                'index',
                'show'
            ]
        ])
        ->middleware(['auth']);

Then, create the resource routes that were except in the first one. So index and show.

Route::resource('resource', 'Controller', [
        'only' => [
            'index',
            'show'
        ]
    ]);

Answer 2

You could use Route Group coupled with Middleware concept: http://laravel.com/docs/master/routing

Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function()
{
    Route::resource('todo', 'TodoController', ['only' => ['index']]);
});

In laravel 5.5 with php 7 it didn't worked for me with multi-method exclude until I wrote

Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth:api'], function() {

Route::resource('categories', 'CategoryController', ['except' => 'show,index']);
});

maybe that help someone.

Answer 4

In QuotesController constructor you can then use:

$this->middleware('auth', ['except' => ['index','show']]);
