Conditional routing based on Middleware - php

Question

I need to call different controller for the same url based on a middleware. The url has to be the same, so redirecting in the middleware is not an option. The code below is sample, controllers for dozens for routes are already finished, so checking the session value there is not an option either.
Tried to create two different middleware (has/hasnt the session value), but the latter route group overwrites the previous anyway. Any clue? Maybe a different approach needed?
route.php looks like this:
Route::group(array('namespace' => 'Admin', 'prefix' => 'admin', 'middleware' => 'auth'), function () {
// set of default routes
Route::get('/', array('as' => 'admin', 'uses' => 'FirstController#index'))->middleware('admin');
Route::get('/profile', array('as' => 'profile', 'uses' => 'FirstController#profile'))->middleware('admin');
Route::group(array('middleware' => 'sessionhassomething'), function () {
// set of the same routes like above but overwritten if middleware validates
Route::get('/', array('as' => 'admin', 'uses' => 'SecondController#index'))->middleware('admin');
Route::get('/profile', array('as' => 'profile', 'uses' => 'SecondController#profile'))->middleware('admin');
});
});
SessionHasSomething middleware:
class sessionHasSomething {
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if(session()->has("something_i_need_to_be_set")) {
return $next($request);
}
// return what if not set, or ...?
}
}
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

If you are only checking if session()->has('something'), it is possible to use route closures to add a condition within the route which needs to be dynamic.
Below is an example:
Route::get('/', function() {
$controller = session()->has('something')) ? 'SecondController' : 'FirstController';
app('app\Http\Controllers\' . $controller)->index();
});
->index() being the method within the controller class.

We almost have the same issue and here's what I did. (I didn't use middleware).
In my blade.php, I used #if, #else and #endif
<?php
use App\Models\User;
$check = User::all()->count();
?>
#if ($check == '0')
// my html/php codes for admin
#else
// my html/php codes for users
#endif
you can also do that in your controller, use if,else.
