Handling a lot of roles (Currently, I have 7 roles)
Hey all,
What would be the best way to handle having a lot of roles?
In my controller, I have the following piece of code:
public function index()
{
$staff = Auth::user()->user_level == UserLevel::STAFF;
if ($staff) {
return Redirect::to(route('staff'));
}
$recruiter = Auth::user()->user_level == UserLevel::RECRUITER;
if ($recruiter) {
return view('index');
} //and so on...
}
I have researched handling roles, and I couldn't really find a way to handle a lot of roles. I thought of using Middleware for every different role, but I am not sure if that's the right way..
Please, if someone could enlighten me how I can use roles efficiently (and doing the proper redirects..), I would appreciate it a lot.

@Cronix would it also be possible to route "/" to these different Gates? Every role seeing a different page?

You could create named routes for each usertype and handle it in one single redirect:
$userLevel = Auth::user()->user_level;
return Redirect::to(route( 'route_for_' . $userLevel ));
Of course within the target controller method you should doublecheck that the user has the fitting role
