Middleware

Spatie's middleware is registered automatically by the package. No manual setup needed.

// All work out of the box — wildcards included:
Route::middleware('role:admin')
Route::middleware('permission:admin.*')
Route::middleware('role_or_permission:editor|admin.*')
Route::middleware('permission:posts.*|comments.*')

To disable auto-registration and register manually:

// config/permission-extended.php
'register_middleware' => false,

Then register in bootstrap/app.php yourself if needed.
