how to do Role Base Access in Laravel?

Question

I am new in Laravel How to do in laravel role with the following table

$table->id();
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('email');
            $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
            $table->string('password');
            $table->string('role');
    $table->boolean('active');
            $table->rememberToken();
            $table->timestamps();

If user activity and the role is “admin”, should get access to Admin Dashboard page, else if a user is active and the role is “manager” should get access to the manager Dashboard page, if-else user is active and role “DEO”/data entry operator should get entry form else to redirect to the login page with error? Should we write in page.blad.php or in controller functions?

The easiest way is to apply user roles is by using this famous spatie/laravel-permission package

This package allows you to manage user permissions and roles in a database.

Once installed you can do stuff like this:

// Adding permissions to a user
$user->givePermissionTo('edit articles');

// Adding permissions via a role
$user->assignRole('writer');

$role->givePermissionTo('edit articles');

Because all permissions will be registered on Laravel's gate, you can check if a user has a permission with Laravel's default can function:

$user->can('edit articles');
