Laravel single route point to different controller depending on slugs

Question

I'm new to laravel and I have searched a lot for an answer to my problem but either it's not applicable or I'm not getting it.

I have a FileMaker solution for a client that handle customers and events. Each customer to my client have their own event websites that is managed via the solution. A cms simply. Each customer get a site with a url like clientsite.com/event.

Each page in the event has a page-type and I would like to address different controllers depending on the type.

In routes.php i have:

Route::group(['middleware' => ['sal', 'menu']], function () {

    Route::get('/{event}/{page}', function($event, $page) {
        // Query page for page-type and use controller depending on type
    });
});

There are many page types (standard text/image, specialized forms etc) and therefor I would like to address different controllers.

Event names are always unique but pages are not.

You could call a controller manually inside the route closure. Though I would suggest doing the validation in a helper file to make the route file clean and readable.

Route::group(['middleware' => ['sal', 'menu']], function () {

    Route::get('/{event}/{page}', function($event, $page) {
        // you could do something like
        $user_type = Auth::user()->user_type;
        if($user_type == "organizer")
        {   

            $controller = $app->make('OrganizerController');  
            return $controller->callAction('controllerFunc', $parameters = array());          
        }
        else
        {
           $controller = $app->make('ClientController');  
           return $controller->callAction('controllerFunc', $parameters = array());          
        }        

    });
});
