Handling Routes with Multiple Middlewares in Laravel

Laravel is a powerful PHP framework that takes care of many aspects of application development, including routing and middleware management. However, developers sometimes face challenges when defining the same route for different middlewares. If you're grappling with this scenario, you're not alone! Let’s break down a common issue and its solution.

The Problem: Limited Middleware Functionality

In a typical scenario, you might have multiple user roles that require access to the same routes. For example, you may have roles like:

Administravimas

Birštonas biblioteka

Druskininkai biblioteka

Birštonas registratūra

Druskininkai registratūra

When attempting to set these routes, you might encounter problems such as:

A route defined with multiple middlewares only allows access to one middleware.

Using an OR condition grants access to all roles, which is not intended.

Here's an example of what the route definition might look like:

This setup does not permit the access you desire! So, how can you overcome this limitation?

The Solution: Custom Middleware for Multiple Roles

Step 1: Create a flexible Middleware

The first step is to create a custom middleware that can accept multiple roles as parameters. Here’s a snippet of how to configure your middleware:

Step 2: Modify Route Assignments

Next, you will need to modify your route definitions to utilize this newly created middleware. Instead of declaring specific middleware for the routes, you can define them like this:

Here, rolescheck is the name we assigned to our middleware that checks a user's roles, and we're passing in the roles we want to allow to access these routes.

Step 3: Register Your Middleware

Make sure to register your custom middleware in the Kernel.php file so Laravel recognizes it. It would look something like this:

Conclusion

With this approach, you've effectively allowed multiple roles to access the same routes without compromising security. By creating a dynamic middleware that can check for various user roles, you maintain a more flexible and manageable routing setup in your Laravel applications.

If you ever encounter similar challenges, remember that often, a custom solution can simplify handling complex requirements in your application architecture.
