Using Laravel's Policies and Route Model Binding without EloquentCategory: Laravel, Laravel, PHP, PHP
Of course they work with Eloquent, but turns they work with any class.
Before we get into this idea, I just want to cover when I would reach for a Gate or a Policy.
For whatever reason we have setup an endpoint you can hit and it triggers your application to deploy.
This is why we can't use a Policy for our Keyboard controller; we don't have an internal representation of a keyboard!
We can now use Route Model Binding to get our Keyboard object and pass it directly to our authorization call.
