Excluding links

[0xn3bs]

I have a use-case where some users have permissions to delete certain resources and others don't.

Because of this, I don't want to always generate a destroy link for a resource if I already know the user can't take that action.

Basically I'd like to exclude certain links based on various conditions. Is there a way to do this? getLinks allows me to add additional links but I don't see any obvious way to exclude certain routes from _links

Thanks again for the help, I'm really enjoying this package :)

I did notice that RouteHelper::resource() has a $methods parameter, however while in the RouteServiceProvider we don't yet have a user context.

Perhaps one solution would be to check if there's an associated policy to that Model and utilizing that prior to generating the _links

Laravel supports Automatically Determining Policy Methods

Displaying only possible/authorized actions is currently not implemented, but I would like to get that done by the next beta release, stay tuned ;)

You may use the action name (e.g. App\Http\Controllers\FooController@destroy) to define policies for automatically added links:

$gate->define(FooController::actionName(RouteHelper::DESTROY), function (User $user) {
    return $user->isAdmin();
});
