What I need is to use prefix()
with Middleware
simultaneously within Laravel.
For example this code:
Route::prefix('admin')->group(function () {
Route::get('/users', function () {
// Matches The "/admin/users" URL
});
});
What I want is to use prefix()
and Middleware
simultaneously.
But I have no idea how to integrate them into Laravel 11.
In previous versions, it was done like this:
Route::group(['prefix' => 'post', 'middleware' => ['auth']], function(){
Route::get('all','Controller@post');
Route::get('user','Controller@post');
})
But how do I do that with my current Laravel version 11?
In Laravel 11, you can chain both prefix() and middleware() methods before defining your route group. Here's how to achieve the same behavior as the previous version's array syntax:
Route::prefix('post')->middleware('auth')->group(function () {
Route::get('all', [Controller::class, 'post']);
Route::get('user', [Controller::class, 'post']);
});
For multiple middleware:
Route::middleware(['auth', 'admin'])
->prefix('admin')
->group(function () {
// Your routes here
});
You can also chain other route group features:
Route::prefix('api')
->middleware('api')
->domain('api.example.com')
->name('api.')
->group(function () {
// Your API routes
});
This fluent interface approach is the recommended way in Laravel 11 for grouping routes with shared configuration. The old array-based syntax has been deprecated in favor of this more readable method chaining syntax.
