middleware for one specific method in controller in Laravel

php laravel

The problem that you have when you added the middleware to $middlewareGroups is explained in the doc

Out of the box, the web middleware group is automatically applied to your routes/web.php file by the RouteServiceProvider.

And if you want the middleware for just one action in the cotroller you can bind the middleware to the route :

Route::get('yourRout', 'YourController@actionX')->middleware('auth');

Or you can add it in constructor of your controller :

public function __construct(){    $this->middleware('auth', ['only' => ['edit']]);}

Or you can try ( Since Laravel 5.3) :

 public function __construct()    {        $this->middleware('auth')->only(['edit']);    }
