Maybe something in a Form Request's authorize method to check the number of existing records against a pre-determined maximum for their plan.

Best way to restict the amount of records a user with sepcific subscription plan can create
Hi everybody.
I have a subscription system with 4 plans. So plan1 subscribers should only be able to create 4 records of a model and so on...
I have spatie/laravel-permission in use and own subscription logic.
What would be the best way in your opinion. Roles and Permissions? Policy / Gate?
To do it directly in controller sounds not good to me. I am still learning, so any suggestion appreciated.
Thanks in advance. Regards Marcus

@maximaexchen If you’re using resourceful controllers then you should have a corresponding policy for the model the controller’s manipulating. In the create() method in the policy, you can then check if the user’s current plan allows creating an additional record.

I think policy feels more logic.
@martinbean Thanks, for your advice.

Yes, @martinbean is absolutely correct - authorization is not the place for this... stupid tykus... :facepalm:
