Use middleware can be fired before the request (and you can post code before that request).

Middleware or Validation on deleting?
Hi guys!
I have a question regarding when to use middleware or validation?
In my case I want to validate if a given user is allowed to DELETE a post. As far as I know, I could either setup a middleware on that specific DELETE-route or utilize the authorize()-function within a validation request class.
What is the right thing to do in my case?

You can use middleware on controller method or route. Validation is... validation, checking if input is valid and can be saved or manipulated.

my solution for this. ofc in form request.
public function authorize()
{
return (\App\Event::findOrFail($this->route()->parameter('events'))->user_id == \Auth::user()->id);
}
