Controller Filters - Input needed

@arma7x - I get what you're saying about tieing to a controller/method, I do. I don't think it's the most practical method though. I keep hearing people talk about having hundreds or thousands of controllers. That would be a horror trying to map up filters to. And by attaching to the uri, you can easily wild-card entire groups of routes to cut down on the maintenance.

@albertleao - Not at all! That's where wild-carding comes in. If all of those pages are behind an 'admin' uri, then you can specify it like:

Code:

'adminAuth'  => ['before' => ['admin/*']]

in the $filters array. That would apply to any uri that starts with **admin**. Or if it's you have a small section of your site or two that is easily group-able you could do it as an exclusion to the global setting, like:

Code:

public $globals = [
        'before' => [
            'isLoggedIn' => ['except' => ['auth/*', 'pages/*'] ],
        ]
    ];

Does that make sense?
