How to restrict access to routes at certain times in laravel - laravel

Question

I was wondering if there is a way to restrict access to routes-blades at certain hours or minutes within a day ?
Any documentation about this topic ?

Answer 1

Create a middleware
php artisan make:middleware TimeBasedRestriction
Return a different response or redirect if time isn't appropriate
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
class TimeBasedRestriction
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
// if not working hours, access forbidden
if (!now()->isBetween('09:00:00', '16:00:00')) {
return response()->json([
'message' => 'Day is over, come back tomorrow'
], 403); // Status forbidden
}
return $next($request);
}
}
Add the middleware to your route middleware in app\Http\Kernel.php
protected $routeMiddleware = [
'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
'bindings' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
'cache.headers' => \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\SetCacheHeaders::class,
'can' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class,
'guest' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class,
'signed' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ValidateSignature::class,
'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,
'verified' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\EnsureEmailIsVerified::class,
'restrictedToDayLight' => \App\Http\Middleware\TimeBasedRestriction::class,
];
And add it to your restricted routes in web.php for example
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
})->middleware('restrictedToDayLight');
