Laravel Policies
Policies encapsulate authorization logic and delegate to permission systems.

Structure
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Policies;
use App\Enums\Permission;
use App\Models\Order;
use App\Models\User;
class OrderPolicy
{
public function viewAny(User $user): bool
{
return $user->can(Permission::ListOrders);
}
public function view(User $user, Order $order): bool
{
return $user->can(Permission::ViewOrders)
&& $order->customer_id === $user->customer_id;
}
public function create(User $user): bool
{
return $user->can(Permission::CreateOrders);
}
public function update(User $user, Order $order): bool
{
return $user->can(Permission::UpdateOrders)
&& $order->canBeModified()
&& $order->customer_id === $user->customer_id;
}
public function delete(User $user, Order $order): bool
{
return $user->can(Permission::DeleteOrders)
&& $order->isPending();
}
public function cancel(User $user, Order $order): bool
{
return $this->update($user, $order)
&& $order->canBeCancelled();
}
}
Permission Enum
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Enums;
use Henzeb\Enumhancer\Concerns\Comparison;
use Henzeb\Enumhancer\Concerns\Dropdown;
enum Permission: string
{
use Comparison, Dropdown;
case ListOrders = 'list orders';
case ViewOrders = 'view orders';
case CreateOrders = 'create orders';
case UpdateOrders = 'update orders';
case DeleteOrders = 'delete orders';
case CancelOrders = 'cancel orders';
}
Standard Policy Methods
Laravel conventions for policy methods:
viewAny()- List/indexview()- Show single resourcecreate()- Create new resourceupdate()- Update resourcedelete()- Delete resourcerestore()- Restore soft-deletedforceDelete()- Permanently delete
Custom methods for non-standard actions:
cancel()approve()ship()- etc.
Key Patterns
1. Delegate to Permission System
return $user->can(Permission::CreateOrders);
2. Ownership Checks
return $user->can(Permission::ViewOrders)
&& $order->customer_id === $user->customer_id;
3. State Checks
return $user->can(Permission::DeleteOrders)
&& $order->isPending();
4. Combine Existing Methods
public function cancel(User $user, Order $order): bool
{
return $this->update($user, $order)
&& $order->canBeCancelled();
}
Usage in Routes
Route::get('/orders', [OrderController::class, 'index'])
->can('viewAny', Order::class);
Route::get('/orders/{order}', [OrderController::class, 'show'])
->can('view', 'order');
Route::post('/orders', [OrderController::class, 'store'])
->can('create', Order::class);
See routing-permissions.md for route authorization.
Summary
Policies should:
- Use permission enums (not strings)
- Check ownership when needed
- Check state when needed
- Delegate to permission system
- Follow Laravel naming conventions
- Stay simple and focused
