[ Default Middleware ](#content-default-middleware) 2. [ Package Middleware ](#content-package-middleware) 3. [ Using Middleware in Routes and Controllers ](#content-using-middleware-in-routes-and-controllers) 4. [ Middleware via Static Methods ](#content-middleware-via-static-methods) Default Middleware -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For checking against a single permission (see Best Practices) using `can`, you can use the built-in Laravel middleware provided by `\Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class` like this: ``` use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; Route::middleware('can:publish articles')->get(...); // or with static method use Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize; Route::middleware(Authorize::using('publish articles'))->get(...); ``` Package Middleware -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **See a typo? Note that since v6 the *'Middleware'* namespace is singular. Prior to v6 it was *'Middlewares'*. Time to upgrade your implementation!** This package comes with `RoleMiddleware`, `PermissionMiddleware` and `RoleOrPermissionMiddleware` middleware. You can register their aliases for easy reference elsewhere in your app: Open `/bootstrap/app.php` and register them there: ``` // ... use Spatie\Permission\Middleware\RoleMiddleware; use Spatie\Permission\Middleware\PermissionMiddleware; use Spatie\Permission\Middleware\RoleOrPermissionMiddleware; return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__)) // ... ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) { $middleware->alias([ 'role' => RoleMiddleware::class, 'permission' => PermissionMiddleware::class, 'role_or_permission' => RoleOrPermissionMiddleware::class, ]); }) // ... ``` ### Middleware Priority If your app is triggering *404 Not Found* responses when a *403 Not Authorized* response might be expected, it might be a middleware priority clash. Explore reordering priorities so that this package's middleware runs before Laravel's `SubstituteBindings` middleware. (See [Middleware docs](https://laravel.com/docs/master/middleware#sorting-middleware) ). If needed, you could optionally explore `$middleware->prependToGroup()` instead. See the Laravel Documentation for details. Using Middleware in Routes and Controllers -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After you have registered the aliases as shown above, you can use them in your Routes and Controllers much the same way you use any other middleware: ### Routes ``` // You can apply middleware to a group of routes: Route::middleware('role:manager')->group(function () { // ... }); // Or, for individual routes, apply the middleware directly: Route::middleware('role:manager')->get('/admin', ...); Route::middleware('permission:publish articles')->get('/articles/create', ...); Route::middleware('role_or_permission:publish articles')->get('/articles/{id}', ...); // for a specific guard: Route::middleware('role:manager,api')->get('/api/admin', ...); // multiple middleware Route::middleware([ 'role:manager', 'permission:publish articles' ])->get('/admin/publish', ...); ``` You can specify multiple roles or permissions with a `|` (pipe) character, which is treated as `OR`: ``` Route::middleware('role:manager|writer') Route::middleware('permission:publish articles|edit articles') Route::middleware('role_or_permission:manager|edit articles') // for a specific guard Route::middleware('permission:publish articles|edit articles,api') ``` ### Controllers If your controller implements the `HasMiddleware` interface, you can register [controller middleware](https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/controllers#controller-middleware) using the `middleware()` method: ``` use Illuminate\Routing\Controllers\HasMiddleware; use Illuminate\Routing\Controllers\Middleware; use Spatie\Permission\Middleware\RoleMiddleware; use Spatie\Permission\Middleware\PermissionMiddleware; class ArticleController implements HasMiddleware { public static function middleware(): array { return [ // examples with aliases, pipe-separated names, guards, etc: 'role_or_permission:manager|edit articles', new Middleware('role:author', only: ['index']), new Middleware(RoleMiddleware::using('manager'), except:['show']), new Middleware(PermissionMiddleware::using('delete records,api'), only:['destroy']), ]; } } ``` Alternatively, you can use the [middleware attribute](https://laravel.com/docs/13.x/controllers#middleware-attributes) or the [authorization attribute](https://laravel.com/docs/13.x/controllers#authorization-attributes) to apply middleware to your controller classes or methods: ``` use Illuminate\Routing\Attributes\Controllers\Middleware; use Illuminate\Routing\Attributes\Controllers\Authorize; use Spatie\Permission\Middleware\RoleMiddleware; class ArticleController { #[Middleware(RoleMiddleware::using('manager'), only: ['index'])] public function index() { // ... } #[Authorize('publish articles')] public function store() { // ... } } ``` You can also use Laravel's Model Policy feature in your controller methods. See the Model Policies section of these docs. Middleware via Static Methods ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All of the middleware can also be applied by calling the static `using` method, which accepts either an array or a `|`-separated string as input. ``` use Spatie\Permission\Middleware\RoleMiddleware; Route::middleware(RoleMiddleware::using('manager')) use Spatie\Permission\Middleware\PermissionMiddleware; Route::middleware( PermissionMiddleware::using('publish articles|edit articles') ) use Spatie\Permission\Middleware\RoleOrPermissionMiddleware; Route::middleware( RoleOrPermissionMiddleware::using(['manager', 'edit articles']) ) ``` A good match? ------------- ### What we do best - All things Laravel - Custom frontend components - Building APIs - AI-powered features - Simplifying things - Clean solutions - Integrating services ### Not our cup of tea - WordPress themes - Cutting corners - Free mockups to win a job - "Just execute the briefing" In short: we'd like to be a **substantial part** of your project.
