Adminlte in Laravel sidebar based on permission

Question

I have multiple users with multiple permission (admin and user). example: admin is able to see sidebar a,b,c but user can only see sidebar d,e,f.

Can you load the menu at adminlte.php based on the permission? I store the permission in permission column inside User table (isAdmin, isUser) Thank you

Menu array format in adminlte.php:

'menu' => [
        [
            'text' => 'Dashboard',
            'url'  => '/dashboard',
            'icon' => 'dashboard',
        ],
],

The only solution that i found is for plain php http://seegatesite.com/how-to-create-user-permissions-view-to-dynamic-sidebar-menu-adminlte/

I would prefer a native laravel solution using the built in adminlte.php

I think using database is wise choice. But we could avoid using raw database query and use Laravel built-ins.

In sidebar.blade.php (or other template/view files you have), you could fetch permissions from database and then use them to show your specific menu like:

 @if(Auth::user()->permission_1)
     <li><a href=""><i class="fa fa-group"></i> menu-item_1</a></li>
 @endif
 @if(Auth::user()->permission_2)
     <li><a href=""><i class="fa fa-tasks"></i> menu-item_2</a></li>
 @endif
