Today I tried to make some changes to my application. I tried to pass all pages through authentication first. I tried one of the answer on this site. But that didn't help. Please help. Here's my code in routes.php
<?php
Route::get('/', function(){
return view('homepage');
});
Route::controllers([
'auth' => 'Auth\AuthController',
'password' => 'Auth\PasswordController',
]);
Route::group(['before' => 'auth'], function () {
Route::get('home', function(){
return \Redirect::to('twitter');
});
Route::get('twitter', 'HomeController@index');
.
.
.
.
});
There are several routes in my file. But only twitter route works.
In laravel 5,
['before' => 'auth']
is deprecated. But instead, I should use
['middleware' => 'auth']
Laravel5 has middlewares instead of filter. I assume you are trying to show certain page to only guests and for that we have a guest middleware already built in.
Route::group(['middleware' => 'guest'], function () {
Route::get('home', function(){
return \Redirect::to('twitter');
});
Route::get('twitter', 'HomeController@index');
});
you may also use middlewares on particular functions of your controller if you want, e.g
class MyController extends Controller {
public function __construct()
{
//to add auth middleware only on update method
$this->middleware('auth', ['only' => 'update'])
//to add auth middleware on all fucntions expcept login
$this->middleware('auth', ['except' => 'login'])
}
}
