filters.php

<?php

//Needs refactoring I guess into one, but thats a topic for another day
Route::filter('user', function() {

        if (! Session::has('User')) {
                return Redirect::to('/');
        }

});

Route::filter('guest', function() {

        if (Session::has('User')) {
                return Redirect::to('/');
        }

});

So, as you can see I have too routes for "/". Because the filters are redirecting, it causes a redirect loop!

I didn't really want just one route, and then point it to function like this:

function homeDelegate() {
  if($this->is_user) {
    return $this->dashboard();
  }
  
  return $this->homepage();
}

...and then have the seperate functions there. At the moment, I'm either using filters wrongly (clearly I am, but I mean more ethically) or I'm going to have to use the delegate func above. Any tips? Ideas? Cool Laravel stuff?

routes.php

<?php

/*

| Home Controller Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Defined routes for the Home Controller. This just handles our users
| dashboard (homepage).

*/

Route::group(['before' => 'guest'], function()
{
    Route::get('/', ['as' => 'dashboard', 'uses' => 'ET\Controller\HomeController@homepage']);
});

Route::group(['before' => 'user'], function() 
{
    Route::get('/', ['as' => 'dashboard', 'uses' => 'ET\Controller\HomeController@homepage']);
});

Route::any('/', [
        'before' => 'guest',
        'as' => 'dashboard',
        'uses' => 'ET\Controller\HomeController@homepage'
]);

Route::any('/', [
        'before' => 'user',
        'as' => 'dashboard',
        'uses' => 'ET\Controller\HomeController@dashboard'
]);
