Hmmm,

In controller

	public function __construct()
	{
		$this->middleware('auth');
		$this->middleware('guest');
	}

in your middleware:

		if ($this->auth->guest())
		{
			if ($request->ajax())
			{
				return response('Unauthorized.', 401);
			}
			else
			{
				if ( Config::get('general.require_login') === true) {
					return redirect()->guest('auth/login');
				}
				return redirect()->guest('/');
			}
		}

I'd take a look at a few starter / bootstrap apps that people have put up on github. https://github.com/bestmomo/laravel5-example

I learned a lot by looking at other people's solutions.
