[SOLVED] Laravel AdminLTE pass parameter to menu can method

Laravel AdminLTE pass parameter to menu can method

I am currently using https://github.com/jeroennoten/Laravel-AdminLTE for my laravel project. The problem I am facing is that I am trying to pass a parameter to the can method in the menu configuration as seen below but haven't gotten any luck to get it to work.

Menu Config:

[
    'text' => 'Add new post',
    'url'  => 'admin/blog/new',
    'can'  => ['access:posts'],
],

The posts gate:

Gate::define('access', function ($user,$location) {
   return $user->hasAccess($location);
});

I think i might be passing the parameter to the gate incorrectly.

Solution

You can't pass additional argument.

But if you just want to bypass variable you can do using use. An example you can define based URL segment/path.

$location = request()->segment(1); // get 'blog' from admin/blog/new
Gate::define('access', function ($user) use($location) {
   return $user->hasAccess($location);
});
