Laravel Policy Classes: Authorization Made Easy

class PostPolicy
{
    public function update(User $user, Post $post)
    {
        return $user->id === $post->user_id;
    }

    public function delete(User $user, Post $post)
    {
        return $user->isAdmin() || $user->id === $post->user_id;
    }
}

$this->authorize('update', $post);

@can('update', $post)
    <a href="/posts/{{ $post->id }}/edit">Edit</a>
@endcan
