Route groups & middleware

6 min read

Route::group (or chained calls) attaches shared attributes to a set of routes.

Route::middleware(['auth', 'verified'])
    ->prefix('admin')
    ->name('admin.')
    ->group(function () {
        Route::get('/',         [AdminController::class, 'index'])->name('home');
        Route::get('/users',    [AdminController::class, 'users'])->name('users');
    });

The full names become admin.home, admin.users. The URL prefix becomes /admin, /admin/users.

Middleware patterns

auth — must be logged in (redirects to /login otherwise).
verified — must have confirmed their email (redirects to verification.notice).
throttle:60,1 — max 60 requests/min/IP.

Subdomain routing

Route::domain('{account}.g4t.io')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/', [AccountController::class, 'home']);
});

The {account} segment is injected as a parameter into every action.
