Group Laravel 8 routes with common middleware-CodePudding

I would like to ask you if it is correct way how to use authentication in laravel 8?

I want to make web which will be visible just for logeddin users.

My solution is here. But I want to know if I will have more routes is there some way how to do it with one command and no need to add for each route?

Route::get('/', [PagesController::class,'index'])
    ->middleware('auth');

Route::get('edit/{id}', [PagesController::class,'editPage'])
    ->middleware('auth')
    ->where('id', '[0-9] ');

Route::post('edit/{id}', [PagesController::class,'editItem'])
    ->middleware('auth')
    ->where('id', '[0-9] ');

Route::get('delete/{id}', [PagesController::class,'deletePage'])
    ->middleware('auth')
    ->where('id', '[0-9] ');

Route::post('delete/{id}', [PagesController::class,'deleteItem'])
    ->middleware('auth')
    ->where('id', '[0-9] ');

require __DIR__.'/auth.php';

Thank you

You can use route groups, Laravel's documentation is here; https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/routing#route-group-middleware

Your example could be updated to:

Route::middleware(['auth'])->group(function () {
    Route::get('/', [PagesController::class,'index']);

    Route::get('edit/{id}', [PagesController::class,'editPage'])
        ->where('id', '[0-9] ');

    Route::post('edit/{id}', [PagesController::class,'editItem']);
        ->where('id', '[0-9] ');

    Route::get('delete/{id}', [PagesController::class,'deletePage'])
        ->where('id', '[0-9] ');

    Route::post('delete/{id}', [PagesController::class,'deleteItem'])
        ->where('id', '[0-9] ');
});

You could go one step further and use Global Constraints to define the id as [0-9] on a global level, instead of each route.

CodePudding user response：

At App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider define

public function boot()
{
    Route::pattern('id', '[0-9] ');
}

Once the pattern has been defined, it is automatically applied to all routes using that parameter name:

Route::get('/user/{id}', function ($id) {
    // Only executed if {id} is numeric...
});

Than you can create route group with middleware('auth')

Route::middleware(['auth'])->group(function () {
//all of your routes
}
