create middleware in laravel

this snippet will teach you how to create a middleware for accessing specific routes , for example is to test if admin is logged in or not

1- run this php artisan

php artisan make:middleware IsAdmin

2-  Add it to the routeMiddleware array in your kernel file by opening app/Http/Kernel.php

'isAdmin' => \App\Http\Middleware\IsAdmin::class,

3- Edit isAdmin middleware file:

<?php



namespace App\Http\Middleware;



use Closure;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;



class IsAdmin

{

    /**

     * Handle an incoming request.

     *

     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request

     * @param  \Closure  $next

     * @return mixed

     */

    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)

    {

        if (Auth::guard('admin')->check()) {

            return $next($request);

        } else {

            return abort(404);

        }

    }

}

4- Apply the middleware to your route:

Route::prefix('admin')->middleware('isAdmin')->as('admin.')->group(function () {

      // your routes here

});
