Using with middleware

[CaesarChan]

Route

$api->get('roles', ['middleware' => ['ability:Sales,system.role.view,false'], 'uses' => 'RoleAPIController@index']);

Middleware

` class TokenEntrustAbility extends EntrustBaseMiddleware {

/**
 * @param $request
 * @param Closure $next
 * @param $roles
 * @param $permissions
 * @param bool $validateAll
 * @return mixed
 */
public function handle($request, Closure $next,$roles, $permissions, $validateAll = false)
{
    $user = $this->getAuthUser($request,$next);
    if(!($user instanceof User)){
        return $user;
    }
    /**
     * dd($validateAll) : 'false'
     */
    $validateAll = filter_var($validateAll,FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN);

    if (!$user->ability(explode('|', $roles), explode('|', $permissions), ['validate_all' => $validateAll])) {
        return $this->respond('tymon.jwt.invalid', 'Forbidden', 403, 'Forbidden');
    }
    $this->events->fire('tymon.jwt.valid', $user);
    return $next($request);
}

} `

EntrustUserTrait

// Set up default values and validate options. if (!isset($options['validate_all'])) { $options['validate_all'] = false; } else { //must be boolean if ($options['validate_all'] !== true && $options['validate_all'] !== false) { throw new InvalidArgumentException(); } } if (!isset($options['return_type'])) { $options['return_type'] = 'boolean'; } else { if ($options['return_type'] != 'boolean' && $options['return_type'] != 'array' && $options['return_type'] != 'both') { throw new InvalidArgumentException(); } }

so , if you use middleware ,you should convert string to boolean use filter_var().

hope usefull for anyone else.
