Using Middleware and Prefix or any other parameter simultaneously in Route Groups


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?


Solution

  • 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.
