How to add custom middleware inside a Route group in laravel

Question

I have a Route group in laravel which has middleware of auth

Route::group(['middleware'=>'auth', function()
{
    //Routes
});

Now these routes are only available to logged in users. I have a situation that logged in users have privileges. I have some routes that are only to be visited by logged in users AND if they have privilege of OWNER

In function I have started a session and stored privilege value.

I did something like this

Route::group(['middleware'=>'auth', function()
{
    //Routes
    if(session::get('privilege')
    {
        //Routes
    }
});

This isn't working neither it's appropriate method. Can anyone tell me how add middleware inside a middleware?

Answer 1

You will need to create a custom middleware called OWNER

php artisan make:middleware Owner

Will create a middleware file for you. Then in the public function called handle u can do something like

if (Auth::user()->privilege == "OWNER") {
       return $next($request);
    }

return redirect('home');

So at the end your custom middleware will look something like this:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;

class Owner
{
/**
 * Handle an incoming request.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  \Closure  $next
 * @return mixed
 */
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
     if (Auth::user()->privilege == "OWNER") {
       return $next($request);
    }

    return redirect('home');

}

}
