Why Laravel Policy is not working in View/Blade?-CodePudding

I tried to filter who can edit/delete on my app using policies but it's not working. Trying to use it on blade.

QuestionPolicy.php

    const UPDATE = 'update';
    const DELETE = 'delete';

    /**
     * Check if user can update a question.
     */
    public function update(User $user, Question $question): bool
    {
        return $question->isAskedBy($user) || $user->isModerator() || $user->isAdmin();
    }

    /**
     * Check if user can delete a question.
     */
    public function delete(User $user, Question $question): bool
    {
        return ($question->isAskedBy($user) || $user->isModerator() || $user->isAdmin()) && !$user->isBanned();
    }

question.blade.php

@can(App\Policies\QuestionPolicy::UPDATE, App\Models\User::class, App\Models\Question::class)
   <a  href="#">Edit</a>
@endcan
@can(App\Policies\QuestionPolicy::DELETE, App\Models\User::class, App\Models\Question::class)
   <a  href="#">Delete</a>
@endcan

Did I do it wrong? Tried to login as admin and also the user who created the question but the link to edit/delete is not rendered.

CodePudding user response：

You need to pass the actual instance of the question (and you don't need to pass the user class) if the policy is regarding a specific question:

@can(App\Policies\QuestionPolicy::UPDATE, $question)
   <a  href="#">Edit</a>
@endcan
@can(App\Policies\QuestionPolicy::DELETE, $question)
   <a  href="#">Delete</a>
@endcan

$user in the policy is always the currently signed in user.
