Adding multiple middleware to Laravel route

Question

Per laravel doc, I can add the auth middleware as follows:

Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function () {     Route::get('/', function ()    {         // Uses Auth Middleware     });      Route::get('user/profile', function () {         // Uses Auth Middleware     }); }); 

I've also seen middleware added as follows:

Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function() {   // Uses all Middleware $middlewareGroups['web'] located in /app/Http/kernel.php?   Route::resource('blog','BlogController'); //Make a CRUD controller }); 

How can I do both?

PS. Any comments providing insight on what the bottom four lines of code are doing would be appreciated

To assign middleware to a route you can use either single middleware (first code snippet) or middleware groups (second code snippet). With middleware groups you are assigning multiple middleware to a route at once. You can find more details about middleware groups in the docs.

To use both (single middleware & middleware group) you can try this:

Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth', 'web']], function() {   // uses 'auth' middleware plus all middleware from $middlewareGroups['web']   Route::resource('blog','BlogController'); //Make a CRUD controller });
