Gate

Overview:

Gate is a minimal authorization layer with named abilities.

Use Gate to model authorization abilities like admin, editor, or resource-specific policies and enforce them at route boundaries.

Public API:

• Gate::define($ability, callable $callback)
• Gate::allows($ability, ...$args)
• Gate::authorize($ability, ...$args)

Example:

Gate::define('admin', function ($user) {
  return $user && $user->role === 'admin';
});

Route::get('/admin', function () {
  return 'ok';
})->auth()->can('admin');
