Apply Auth Middleware to All Laravel Routes

Question

What is the correct way to authenticate all routes except login and register when I apply auth middleware in all controllers? Is there a way to apply auth middleware in one place and exclude login, register routes?

Answer 1

you can apply middlewares in the routes.php file, what you need to do is to put all your routes on a group, and add the middleware 'auth' ( except the Auth::routes() which are already configured), for example :

Route::middleware(['first', 'second'])->group(function () {
    Route::get('/', function () {
        // Uses first & second Middleware
    });

    Route::get('user/profile', function () {
        // Uses first & second Middleware
    });
});
