Use Gate in laravel - php

Question

I have a Server. I need to prohibit editing the Server to those users who did not create it. But there is a problem, the Server may have many Users who can edit it. I put this in a separate database table ServerUserCreate where server_id and user_id are stored.
It doesn't suit me. Since there is no user_id column in the Server table, because a lot of users can recommend
Gate::define('server-edit', function (User $user, Server $server) {
return $user->id === $server->user_id;
});
I somehow need to compare
ServerUserCreates->server_id === $server->id || Auth::user()->id === ServerUserCreate->user_id
And if they are equal, then access is open. But I don't know how to do it in Gate at all
ServerUserCreate table
Schema::create('server_user_creates', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->engine = 'InnoDB';
$table->id();
$table->unsignedBigInteger('server_id');
$table->unsignedBigInteger('user_id');
$table->index('server_id', 'suc_server_idx');
$table->index('user_id', 'suc_user_idx');
$table->foreign('server_id', 'suc_server_fk')->on('servers')->references('id');
$table->foreign('user_id', 'suc_user_fk')->on('users')->references('id');
$table->timestamps();
});

Answer 1

Considering you have a relationship defined as
public function servers()
{
return $this->hasMany(ServerUserCreate::class);
}
in the Server model, you can simplify your Gate definition a bit further by adding a WHERE condition to the relationship query.
exists() will return a boolean, so that's perfect for your use case.
Gate::define('server-edit', function (User $user, Server $server) {
return $server->servers()->where('user_id', $user->id)->exists();
});
You could also use count() instead of exists(). In PHP, if you cast a number as a boolean, 0 is false, and the rest is true.
Gate::define('server-edit', function (User $user, Server $server) {
return $server->servers()->where('user_id', $user->id)->count();
});

I was able to figure out the problem myself. Maybe it will help someone, here are my solutions
Gate::define('server-edit', function (User $user, Server $server) {
$ServerUsers = $server->servers()->get();
foreach ($ServerUsers as $ServerUser) {
if ($ServerUser->server_id === $server->id && $ServerUser->user_id === $user->id) {
return Response::allow();
}
}
return Response::deny();
});
if (! Gate::allows('server-edit', $server)) {
abort(403, 'Stop Stop!');
}
Server Model
public function servers()
{
return $this->hasMany(ServerUserCreate::class);
}
