Your allowed() helper might prove to be fatal as it makes lots of database calls and iterates through a lot of data with EACH call to it. And you will be making several calls to this helper.

Insted, try this :

• Create a accessor in your user model to retrive and cache all the routes the current user is allowed to access.

• Modify your helper :

if (!function_exists("allowed"))
{
    function allowed($route)
    {
        if ( ! Auth::check()) return false;
        
        return in_array($route, Auth::user()->routes);
    }
}

• For use within blade views, to place links, create a wrapper to laravel's helper :

if( ! function_exists('acl_link_to_route'))
{
	function acl_link_to_route($route, $title, $parameters = [], $attributes = []);
	{
		if(allowed($route))
			echo link_to_route($route, $title, $parameters, $attributes);
	}
}

• Finally, use it in your view file.

<td>
	{{ acl_link_to_route('group.edit', 'Edit', ['id' => $group->id]) }}
	{{ acl_link_to_route('group.edit', 'Delete', ['id' => $group->id], ['class' => 'confirm', 'data-confirm' => 'Are... ?']) }}
</td>

It will return html a tag link to your route if its allowed, else, nothing.

Would creating the accessor be like this

public function getRoutesAttribute($route){
    return ucfirst($route);
  }

It's in my user model

More like :

public function getRoutesAttribute()
{
	$routes = $this->groups->each(function ($group)
	{
		return $group->resources->each(function($resource) 
		{
			return $resource->name;
		});
	});	

	return array_dot($routes);
}

Now you can use the Auth::user()->routes in the in_array() check.

Hi,

Thanks for your help, but the code you gave me isn't working 100%. It doesn't show up when the user is able to access the page.

For example

The user Jane is allowed to access edit groups, which uses

{{ acl_link_to_route('group.edit', 'Edit 1', ['id' => $group->id]) }}

But the user John isn't allowed to access the edit groups page.
