Roles and Permissions for Laravel 5

Hello guys!

I'm currently user Entrust for Roles and Permissions. However, few days ago, my friend give a link about Laravel Authorization https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/authorization. I am so confused that which one of themes should I choose for my project?

If you're currently using Entrust, just keep on using it.

Which one would you consider easier to understand and use?

@ohffs thanks for your advise.

@richardhowse Because I started using Entrust so that I feel it's easier. However, I wonder which one is more standard for Laravel?

You'll probably end up just writing your own version of Entrust - so you might as well stick with it :-) If you're doing a new project or have some different requirements then maybe look at laravel's built in stuff.
