Laravel 5.2 assigning same route to different cont

Question

I wish to route the same route to different controller base on user type.

Such as

    if (Auth::check() && Auth::user()->is_admin) {
        Route::get('/profile', 'AdminController@show');
    } elseif (Auth::check() && Auth::user()->is_superadmin) {
        Route::get('/profile', 'SuperAdminController@show');
    }

But this doesn't work.

How can I make it works as what I want?

Answer 1

okey you can do that by creating a route::group

your route group will be like that

    route::group(['prefix'=>'yourPrefix','middleware'=>'yourMiddleware'],function(){

        if (Auth::check() && Auth::user()->is_admin)
        {
            Route::get('profile', 'AdminController@show');
        }
        else
        {
            Route::get('profile', 'SuperAdminController@show');
        }

    });

I hope that will help you.

You can do this

    Route::get('/profile', 'HomeController@profile'); // another route

Controller

    public function profile() {
         if (Auth::check() && Auth::user()->is_admin) {
           $test = app('App\Http\Controllers\AdminController')->getshow();

          }
         elseif (Auth::check() && Auth::user()->is_superadmin) {
         $test = app('App\Http\Controllers\SuperAdminController')->getshow();
         // this must not return a view but it will return just the needed data , you can pass parameters like this `->getshow($param1,$param2)`

         }

        return View('profile')->with('data', $test);
           }

But i think its better to use a trait

trait Show {

    public function showadmin() {
    .....
    }
    public function showuser() {
    .....
    }
}

Then

class HomeController extends Controller {
     use Show;
}

Then you can do the same as the above but instead of

   $test = app('App\Http\Controllers\AdminController')->getshow();// or the other one

use this

$this->showadmin();
$this->showuser(); // and use If statment ofc
