'auth' Middleware with Route::resource

How can I use middleware with resources?

Route::resource('myitem', ['middleware' => 'auth', 'uses' => 'App\\Controllers\\MyitemsController']);

Just followed https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/struggling-with-routeresource-and-auth-middleware but unfortunately could not solve.

Getting error:

ErrorException (E_UNKNOWN) 
Array to string conversion
Open: /vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Routing/Router.php

protected function getResourceAction($resource, $controller, $method, $options)
{
    $name = $this->getResourceName($resource, $method, $options);

    return array('as' => $name, 'uses' => $controller.'@'.$method);
}

Better solution

Use middleware instead of before

Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function(){
   Route::resource('myitem', 'MyitemsController');
});

You can check if it's ok with:

php artisan route:list

How to do this in Laravel 5. The Answer you have been waiting for.

Use middleware instead of before

Route::group(array('middleware' => 'auth'), function()
{
    Route::resource('user', 'UserController',
                    ['only' => ['edit']]);
}

To check if the route is setup, run:

php artisan route:list

which should show the following:

GET|HEAD | user/{user}/edit | user.edit | App\Http\Controllers\UserController@edit | auth

Note auth instead of guest

I just came up against this and found the easiest way is to add the middleware straight to the controller.

I found my answer here: http://laravel.com/docs/master/controllers

class MyitemsController extends Controller {

    /**
     * Instantiate a new MyitemsController instance.
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');
    }
}

Middleware is a new feature of Laravel 5. In Laravel 4, filters where something similar. So instead of using the key middleware you should use before or after. Also, and that's where the error comes from, the second argument of Route::resource should be the controller name as string and the third one is an array of options:

Route::resource('myitem', 'App\\Controllers\\MyitemsController', ['before' => 'auth']);

Edit

Apparently before filters only work with resource routes when you wrap a group around it. See the OPs answer for an example...

Using filter with resource was not working that why had to use Route::group

Route::group(array('before' => 'auth'), function()
{
    Route::resource('myitem', 'App\\Controllers\\MyitemsController');
});
