Laravel Routing - Separate some routes - php

Question

I have a route defined as:
Route::resource('item', 'ItemController');
What I want to do is put some of these routes, particularly edit and delete inside a group.
Route::group(['middleware' => ['role']], function() {
Route::resource('item', 'ItemController', ['only' => ['edit', 'delete']]);
}
This doesn't work, though. Do I have to define each route one by one then? Or is there a better solution to this?
EDIT:
I'm sorry, but it seems I did not ask the question properly. So let me make some clarifications here.
I have a basic auth user which can create and view items. What I don't want it to do is edit and delete.
I then also have a role user which do everything auth can do AND edit and delete items.
So basically, regular authorized users can have SOME access to items while role users have COMPLETE access.
The current code seems to give role users ONLY edit and delete functionalities and no view or create.
To make it even more clearer, here's what my actual route looks like:
Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth']], function()
{
Route::resource('items', 'SitesController');
Route::group(['middleware' => ['role']], function() {
Route::resource('item', 'ItemController', ['only' => ['edit', 'delete']]);
});
});
Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way?

Answer 1

The code above will work, you just named the action incorrectly. You should have used destroy instead of delete. Try the following code:
Route::resource('item', 'ItemController');
Route::group(['middleware' => ['role']], function() {
Route::resource('item', 'ItemController', ['only' => ['edit', 'destroy']]);
});
You can run php artisan route:list to verify. You should see role middleware enabled in 2 of your routes.
