What are Laravel policies and how do they work?

Laravel policies are a way to authorize actions in your application. They are classes that organize authorization logic around a particular model or resource.

Can you give me an example of how to create a policy?

Sure! You can create a policy using the Artisan command: php artisan make:policy PostPolicy. This will generate a new policy class.

How do I register this policy in Laravel?

You can register your policy in the AuthServiceProvider by adding it to the $policies array, like this: protected $policies = [ 'App\Models\Post' => 'App\Policies\PostPolicy', ];.

What methods can I define in a policy?

You can define methods like view, create, update, and delete to control access to different actions on your model.
