Laravel Gate : Authorization doesn't work - php

Question

I am trying to make laravel basic authorization. I'm using gate for laravel authorization.
Table structure
User Table, Permission Table, Role, role_permission table
user : id, name , password, email
permission : id, name
role:id , name
role_permission: id, role_id, permission_id
authServiceProvider
public function boot(GateContract $gate)
{
$this->registerPolicies();
foreach($this->getPermissions() as $permission)
{
$gate->define($permission->name,function($user) use($permission){
return $user->role->id == $permission->role_id;
});
}
}
public function getPermissions()
{
$permissions = \DB::table('role_permission')
->join('permissions', 'permissions.id', '=', 'role_permission.permission_id')
->select('role_permission.*','permissions.*')
->get();
return $permissions;
}
It doesn't work properly means I can't access the route though it's there in permission table with the appropriate user.

You should not access database from service provider. Always try to keep your service provider simple. Please follow the bellow steps to serve your purpose.
AuthServiceProvider.class
public function boot(GateContract $gate)
{
$this->registerPolicies($gate);
$gate->before(function($user, $ability) {
return $user->hasPermission($ability);
});
}
Now add the following methods in App\User model.
public function hasPermission($name)
{
$permission = Permission::where('name','=', $name)->first();
if(! $permission) {
return false;
}
return $this->hasRole($permission->roles);
}
public function hasRole($role)
{
if (is_string($role)) {
return $this->roles->contains('name', $role);
}
return (bool) $role->intersect($this->roles)->count();
}
Hope this will work to serve your purpose.
