Check if Auth User role id matches array in Laravel

Question

I am trying to evaluate an array of roles for an auth user. 100 and 102 are the role values I want to check. If the Auth user has one of these then return true. Is this possible? Here is my code so far:

if (Auth::user()->role_id == ([100, 102]) {
//process code here. A lot of code. 
}

I don't wish to repeat and check one at a time as the processing code is a lot and will make file lengthy.

go with [in_array](http://php.net/in_array) ? – hassan May 28 '17 at 10:58 — hassan, May 28 '17 at 10:58

in_array() will definitely work for you:

if (in_array(auth()->user()->role_id, [100, 102]))

In this case, you could also define a global helper to check if current user belongs to some role or role group:

if (! function_exists('isAdmin')) {
    function isAdmin()
    {
        return in_array(auth()->user()->role_id, [100, 102]);
    }
}

Then you'll be able to use this helper in controllers, models, custom classes etc:

if (isAdmin())

And even in Blade views:

@if (isAdmin())

@EdenWebStudio what exactly? – Alexey Mezenin May 28 '17 at 11:50
On you answer in the link, you ref adding the Helper file to composer autoload. Does it work to use public function register in service provider? – Eden WebStudio May 28 '17 at 11:54
@EdenWebStudio yes, it will work if you'll include helpers file in service provider. But I think a better way is to use `composer.json` to autoload the file. – Alexey Mezenin May 28 '17 at 12:04

As hassan said you can use in_array()

$a= Auth::user()->role_id;
$b= in_array(100, $your_array);
$c= in_array(102, $your_array);

if ( $a == $b && $a == $c ) {
  //process code here. A lot of code. 
}
