Laravel 5 Resourceful Routes Plus Middleware

Question

Is it possible to add middleware to all or some items of a resourceful route?

For example...

<?php  Route::resource('quotes', 'QuotesController'); 

Furthermore, if possible, I wanted to make all routes aside from index and show use the auth middleware. Or would this be something that needs to be done within the controller?

Answer 1

In QuotesController constructor you can then use:

$this->middleware('auth', ['except' => ['index','show']]); 

Reference: Controller middleware in Laravel 5

Answer 2

You could use Route Group coupled with Middleware concept: http://laravel.com/docs/master/routing

Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function() {     Route::resource('todo', 'TodoController', ['only' => ['index']]); });
