Call model function into custom middleware file in Laravel 5.2 - php

Question

I am new in Laravel. I am developing an application from scratch as of now I just used laravel auth i.e (php artisan make:auth).
My requirement is to pull data for a loggedin user from a table i.e "admin" into my custom middleware but I am unable to call function which is defined in my Model i.e "Admin" file.
MODEL FILE :- app\Admin.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class Admin extends Authenticatable
{
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
public function roles()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Role', 'admin_role', 'admin_id', 'role_id');
}
public function hasAnyRole($roles)
{
if (is_array($roles)) {
foreach ($roles as $role) {
if ($this->hasRole($role)) {
return true;
}
}
} else {
if ($this->hasRole($roles)) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
public function hasRole($role)
{
if ($this->roles()->where('name', $role)->first()) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
public function myfunction($val)
{
echo "===>".$val; exit ;
}
}
MIDDLEWARE FILE :- app\Http\Middleware\CheckRole.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
class CheckRole
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$request->admin->myfunction('customvalue');
exit ;
}
}
I need to call function i.e "myfunction" which is define in Admin model into Checkrole.php middleware.
Thanks

try
auth()->user()->myfunction();
from the middleware. ( I am assuming you have an authenticated user at this point)
