How to protect only specific routes of my controller?

Question

So I have a Resource controller and it's route defined as below:

Route::resource('product', 'App\Http\Controllers\ProdutoController')->middleware('auth');

But, I wanted to not-logged in user to be able to acces the "show" method inside that controller. How can I apply the "auth" middleware to every method inside the controller except the "show" method?

Inside your ProdutoController you can use the construct method to apply the authentication middleware and except some routes like this:

/**
     * Instantiate a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth')->except(['index', 'show']); 
    }
