Laravel 4.2 | construct beforeFilter - auth check

Question

I've got this code:

function __construct() {
  $this->beforeFilter('auth');

  if (Auth::user()->hasRole('A')) {
    return \Redirect::route('B')->send();
  }
}

Route::filter('auth', function()
{
    if (Auth::guest())
    {
        if (Request::ajax())
        {
            return Response::make('Unauthorized', 401);
        }
        else
        {
            return Redirect::guest('auth/login');
            die();
        }
    }
});

---

And the result is this error:

Call to a member function hasRole() on null

The auth filter should redirect me automatically to auth page. But it doesn't do that until it finished the all function.

Any suggestions?

Well, this is the solution:

function __construct() 
{
  if ($this->beforeFilter('auth')) {
    if (Auth::user()->hasRole('A')) {
      return \Redirect::route('B')->send();
    }
  }
}
