Add parameters to nested Middleware

[liroyhito]

Sometimes there are many routes that need to use come Middleware with certain parameter, but certain routes inside also need extra parameters.

Example - from the docs: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/middleware#middleware-parameters

<?php
 
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
 
use Closure;
 
class EnsureUserHasRole
{
    /**
     * Handle the incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @param  string  $role
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next, $role)
    {
        if (! $request->user()->hasRole($role)) {
            // Redirect...
        }
 
        return $next($request);
    }
 
}

If I have many routes and all of them need to use the role middleware with certain role:

Route::middleware(['role:role_x'])->group(function () {
    Route::get
    Route::get
    Route::post
    Route::put
    Route::get

    // and many more

    Route::middleware(['role:role_x,role_y'])->group(function () {
        // specific routes that need another role in addition to role_x
        Route::get  
        Route::post
    });
});

This is an example with only 2 roles, but sometimes it can get to more and then you'd have to manually assign it to many individual route group
