I have a laravel 4.2 app. And I have filters on many of the routes.

I am trying to display navigation and I would like to be able to check that a link can be accessed before displaying it.

I can't see a way to check that a routes before filters would pass given a URL.

Is this possible?

I have tried to get the route using the method in this question

But calling callRouteBefore() on it doesn't seem to give the expected results. I think it is due to the session not being right.

And what do you want to do if a route _can’t_ be accessed? – Martin Bean May 21 '15 at 14:14
Either hide the link or grey it out with a message that access is not sufficient. – Jeremy French May 21 '15 at 14:15
You’re better off doing this through user permissions. Map which pages a user can access, and then when generating your menu do a permission check and apply the appropriate styling. – Martin Bean May 21 '15 at 14:16
