Thank man! I wish you in some parallel Universe Miss Brazil to be your girlfriend! 👍

[@merdmann]

Videos like these give me hope. Reading through the docs is one thing but seeing a practical way of using it is another. You and Code with Dary are the best channels to learn laravel

[@AslamD]

This is definitely most asked question on Laravel community. Thank You :)

[@raj-kal]

I have learned lots of advanced Laravel topics from your tutorials. I almost watched all of your videos. thanks

[@SRG-Learn-Code]

Not often you find videos regarding concepts without implementations, very cool. I didn't want to follow a tutorial about integrating any of this systems without knowing what each can do so thanks for sharing this type of videos.

[@allen86333]

I can't thank you enough. I'm a beginner , Your suggestions,tips helped me grow so fast. My codes are better than before , my understanding has increased. You have boosted and cleared my confusions like so easy with every practical examples. I have completed Advance Beginner path within 4 months from since I installed Laravel on my pc, done some small solo projects for practice. I'm about to join as a Jr. Software Engineer. Soon gonna join your paid courses. Thank You so much . and also I hate X-slot in breeze :) but you made my day with that explanation video how you reverse engineered it , i tried it myself but I couldn't finish it because of some terms that i was unclear.

[@8infinito8]

Every now and again I view your videos to check my knowledge in Laravel or to better understand some concepts and you always are a guarantee! Through the years I became a better Laravel developer thanks to your videos. You're a great teacher and developer. Cheers from Italy ❤

Thank You soo much sir.., Now i can easily crack my interview without any hurdles. I will continue watching your daily videos to master laravel 👍

[@AMD-1087]

This was really helpful. I just wanted to mention that Laravel Policies would work only on an authenticated route.

[@SergeyNeskhodovskiy]

Good catch, only a few days ago I scratched my head wondering why Gate::check always returned false, when the logic inside the gate was definitely permissive. I figured out that you had to be authenticated in order to even reach that logic.

[@mabdullahsari]

No, this is false. You have to typehint the first argument as a nullable user if you want unauthenticated routes to also make use of it.

[@rejowanahmed6819]

Why'd someone even want to use policies with unauthenticated users? 😐 There are middlewares for that

[@asifm3520]

One of best explanation from your arsenal. Also liked slow pace while explaining every minute details.

Great 🔥🔥 Yesterday, i just searching bout this topic on your channel sir.. 😅 And now i have a notice to watch this video.. 👍👍👍

[@hichemtaboukouyout2958]

Hello, such a nice explanation, just one thing I know and I'm sure many Laravel programmers wonder, is when to use authorization in gates/policies and when to use middlewares, like if we have a middleware, why call $this->authorize in the controller? actually why are there 2 methods in the first place, when to use what? please make a short video about this because I'm telling you, many Laravel users fall into this question, I know yes in small projects this detail may not be important, but the bigger the project I think these details can have a significant impact on best practices that allow scalability. Thanks

[@digvijaychauhan2000]

Good info. In addition, one can also use request rules in the controller.

[@daniyarislamgaliyev8627]

S - single responsibility. Request rules are responsible for just validating parameters, and they should not resolve roles, permissions etc.

[@bboydarknesz]

This is the best best best explanation I found. Very very thanks

[@JouvaMoufette]

Policies are one of my favorite features of Laravel. I was never sure if I should use gates instead, but I do like the grouping, so yeah I'll continue to use policies. Also, you shouldn't use auth() in the policy because you already have $user

[@LaravelDaily]

Yes, good point about auth()

[@reikosama1]

Also, if you are using auth middleware to protect the routes, it is guaranteed that the user is logged in

[@JouvaMoufette]

@@reikosama1 Yeah but that would only mean you don't have to check the $user being null. You'd still want to check against IDs if appropriate (e.g. Editing records owned by someone)

[@Scorpion_13131]

Couldn't be explained better than this! Thank you so much

[@Ajcmaster]

Congratz on the channel, it is one of the best I found about Laravel. I thought about asking how you deal with business related validation rules. In one of my projects, I develop a platform where you can advertise your real estate properties. Basically, you choose a plan that has a membership fee and a monthly fee. Apart from that, you optionally buy other services together with the plan . For now, you can only hire one plan per order. So, the order model is basically {id, plan_id, property_id, ...} and then there is a pivot table to link service items. Thing is, there is a requirement to allow the user to delete an order only if the order is either just created and not yet paid or the payment has failed, and similarly to only delete a property if it has no open orders. Where would you put this validation?

[@Ajcmaster]

There are other examples, like you can only schedule a visit to the property for at least X hours from now.

[@abdulqadir9348]

Hi, What is the best solution for multiple authentication in laravel ? Using multiple table with guard eg default users table for frontend users and admins table for backend users (Note: in backend there is users with role.) Adding is_admin field in default users table. And add the middleware for admin or user. Please suggest.

[@dudezkie]

I like how explain it and really clean, can you do this in database driven permissions and roles?

[@angeloabritaa]

Good tutorial! thanks from Brazil!

[@L-A-O-S]

Good, i will use it. But in role model, some kind of bad naming maybe in constants, when you use IS_ it says that is boolean. Maybe Role::Admin more better

[@droneggin]

Thanks a lot for helpful videos. I have a question. We have implemented LDAP record package, and our company employees can log in into system using their domain credentials without registration. How I can add Spatie roles and permissions for those users with keeping LDAP login mechanism? Is it possible?

[@steveowago1089]

Nice video, Quick question...Is it possible to assign abilities dynamically from Database records using Gates, assigned to the Auth::id();?

[@inso4606]

Another great video! I have not been watching Policy course yet, but I think here (in tube), I can suggest something to part 2 (Gates): In my projects, I group gates by roles and actions - i.e. gate for admin, gate for manager (and admin), gate for author (admin and author) and just using separte route files. In every one route file - group routes by middleware. I.e. for admin gate (Gate::define('admin' ..)) - route file will be web-admin.php and in the file - Route::group(['middleware' => ['can:admin']], fn...). In this way is not necessary to add authorize line in each method. I don't know - is this right or not, but think is more visible and escaped the point if we forget about authorize line. Thank You for all of Your videos! Thank You and for your courses! They are so usefull even for advanced laravel developer!

[@LaravelDaily]

Yes, structuring routes by separate files and separate gates is another good way to structure it, thanks for valuable comment.

[@gurpbiedurpbiedurp8811]

Interesting way of checking the permissions. I check my premissions inside the construct and use the default permissions middleware: function __construct() { $this->middleware('permission:vacancy-list|vacancy-create|vacancy-edit|vacancy-delete', ['only' => ['index', 'show']]); $this->middleware('permission:vacancy-create', ['only' => ['create', 'store']]); $this->middleware('permission:vacancy-edit', ['only' => ['edit', 'update']]); $this->middleware('permission:vacancy-delete', ['only' => ['destroy']]); }

[@LaravelDaily]

That is also a valid way, but I think it's more readable to have permissions set at every method, then you don't need to scroll to the constructor to find out who has access to this method.

[@gurpbiedurpbiedurp8811]

@@LaravelDaily fair point!

[@Gabriel-iz4kp]

@LaravelDaily Thanks for all those great Videos. I've got a question regarding this topic thinking a bit over the top about separating Frontend and Admin/Backend. How would you do Kernel.php separation if one wants to separate these bootstraps f.e. using different components and so on? So likely I don't even want the frontend Kernel.php to include stuff that I really only want to have in Admin/Backend part? Pre-Spoiler... I already had some success on that delegating from the generic Kernel.php to an extended Backend/Kernel and Frontend/Kernel by using Route-Group as separator ("/" and "/admin"). But there's still one caveat when trying f.e. to enable the debug-toolbar which somehow doesn't inject anymore as it looks like somehow it's trying to do that on level of the original Kernel and not the final Kernel processing the bootstrap afterwards. I'm curious about your feedback and/or a video about that or which else way you would suppose to do this in a clean way?!

[@denizebassifigueiredo3706]

Thanks for the video! great help!

For relational tables, do you prefer [user, user_tasks], or [user, tasks] ? At Laravel 5, i saw many people reference the relational table name with underscore, but in your newer videos, your models and tables have one own name.

[@VadimBesedin]

@13:31 You can also have a 'role' column in your 'users' table, that will contain names of the roles 'admin', 'manager', 'user', etc. And check for them - clean and clear. And if you worried about consistency of those role names in the forms, you can put them in User model as constants. Pros: clear role names in the code, no additional table and queries required. Cons: to add additional roles you will need to add them in the User model class. Or just be mindful what you assign as a role. If there any other Pros and Cons - please list them here.

[@modestasmv]

Hey, the biggest con of your approach is the limitation on how many roles you can assign to the person at that point. For example, with the package, you can easily add multiple roles to the person (which sometimes is necessary), and when using a single column - you are stuck with one :)

[@VadimBesedin]

@@modestasmv In case when user should have many roles - yea, agree - pivot table and roles table will be the way to go. But, is there any cons if there is no need for multiple roles per user?

[@modestasmv]

@@VadimBesedin In my experience - there's quite a good chance that your application will need some sort of multi role or permissions eventually. Of course that might not be the case but having an additional query to actually get the role - isn't that impactful and you can actually employ caching for this :)

[@VadimBesedin]

@@modestasmv I see your opinion. But you've missed the question regarding any other cons, except the one you've already mentioned. So, looks like there is no cons if multi-role is not required.

fan of laravel-permission

[@MrDragos360]

When would you recomend the use of a package like Bouncer or Spatie Laravel-permission over a simple implementation like you showed in this video ? I tried all of them and I can say that Bouncer feels the best. Spatie has that problems with multiple guards and in most web apps there are at least 2 guards: web and api, so it requires a duplicate of everything. Also for me the "native roles and permisions" seems ok for small apps that don't have many roles and permisions. Something more, what about using those roles and permisions in a SPA based on VUE, React, Angular, etc that has Laravel as backend API ? What data should be sent to the SPA in order to handle some "guards"(routes guards, only show what a user is allowed too see, etc) ? Sure, the backend protections must be implemented but they are similar an web app. As of now I am implementing Bouncer and I plan to send the user role name and his abilities list. Then I'll check to see if his abilities list contains the ability that is needed to access an area or do do an action. How it sounds ? (My app has 7 roles and over 20 abilities in total). Thanks!

[@LaravelDaily]

Personally, I don't use guards for web and api, I use the same users table with roles/permissions and with Sanctum for API. So I've never encountered that problem. For authorization of SPA with Vue, see our take in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJLXoXSLoZuSa6c

[@MrDragos360]

@@LaravelDaily It seems I missed that video. Thanks for it. It is really graet. Now I have to redisign 2 SPAs or even 3 :)) About guards, well, I have a project where the dashboard is an SPA that is authentificated via Sanctum and a client area(a store) that will be a "clasic" web app with Blade fiels and jQuery. That is where the problem with 2 guards comes from. @casl/vue can be used with Bouncer and a "hybird" site(SPA + Blade), right ? I think for this project I will kepp simple roles for now, the deadline is close and I am already a behind the plan.
