Laravel - How to pass variables to middleware through route group? - php

Question

This is my route group,
Route::group(['middleware' => 'checkUserLevel'], function () {
// my routes
});
And this is my middleware checkUserLevel,
public function handle($request, Closure $next, $level)
{
$user = Auth::user();
if ($user->level > $level) {
return redirect('testUrl');
}
return $next($request);
}
I want to pass the $level variale to middleware from route group.
Thanks.

You can simply pass multiple arguments into the middleware using a colon. Use it like:
Route::group(['middleware' => 'checkUserLevel:some_value_of_level'], function () {
// my routes
});
Now, you can have this value inside your $level variable.
public function handle($request, Closure $next, $level)
{
$user = Auth::user();
if ($user->level > $level) {
return redirect('testUrl');
}
return $next($request);
}
This would help.

You can also send multiple variables to middleware. You just need to seperate the values using a comma (,).
Route::group(['middleware' => 'checkUserLevel:some_value_of_level, one_more_value_to_send'], function () {
// my routes
});
And you will get the value one_more_value_to_send in the variable after $level in the middleware handler.
public function handle($request, Closure $next, $level, $another_value)
{
$user = Auth::user();
if ($user->level > $level) {
return redirect('testUrl');
}
return $next($request);
}

In Laravel 6.x you have to do this
add code like in your middleware
public function handle($request, Closure $next,$module=null,$right=null)
{
dd($module,$right);
return $next($request);
}
your route code like this
Route::get('/department/add', 'DepartmentController#addNew')->middleware('ManualSec:abc,xyz');
In Kernel.php register your middleware in the section of $routeMiddleware like
'ManualSec' => \App\Http\Middleware\ManualSec::class,
by calling the rout using url in my case
http://local.pms.com:8080/department/add
it will result is like:
now you can code in your middleware
