Laravel authorize() Error? You’re Missing This One Thing!

Laravel Call to undefined method App\Http\Controllers\YourController::authorize()

Our error:

Call to undefined method App\Http\Controllers\YourController::authorize()

Solution:

Add namespace:

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\Access\AuthorizesRequests;

Next in our Controller add use statement

use AuthorizesRequests;

It should work now.

Why is that error even there?

Probably your controller does not extend the Laravel `App\Http\Controllers`.
