Is there a way to run a controller method before all other methods? So I can have 10 methods, and there is one method which runs before all 10 of them? I looked at the Controllers section of the documentation and the instructions for how to do this are not there.
can't we just define a constructor?
public function __construct()
{
if (blah) {
dd('xxxxxxxxxxx');
}
}
I don't know about that, just asking.
What are you looking for? Do you want your controller to instantiate some data that you need for each method in that controller? You might indeed do that in the constructor.
If you only need some logic to be executed before going to the controller that doesn't really need to be available within the controller itself, I agree with Erik that you'd need to be looking at middleware instead.
