Quick Tip

Can feature

If you are running Laravel v8.70, you can chain can() method directly instead of middleware('can:..')

// instead of
Route::get('users/{user}/edit', function (User $user) {
...
})->middleware('can:edit,user');
 
// you can do this
Route::get('users/{user}/edit', function (User $user) {
...
})->can('edit' 'user');
 
// PS: you must write UserPolicy to be able to do this in both cases
