How to get error message if user is not authorized in request
Hi
It is very useful to create a Request for validating input from a form.
One then need to implement the rule() and for errror mesages the message() merhod.
Let’s say that the authorized() return false, then the code in the method of the request is not executed.
How about getting error messages if the user is not authorized to perform the request?

This is what I talk about
“ If the authorize method returns false, a HTTP response with a 403 status code will automatically be returned and your controller method will not execute.”

public function update(Request $request, Post $post) {
if ($post->author !== auth()->user()->id || auth()->user()->cannot('edit posts'))
abort(404);// or some other
}
// rest of method if Auth is okay
}
The chapter on errors explains what to do.
