What is the best practice/ "Laravel" style when using routes and controllers for auth functionality?

Question

For example, a simple interface which has a vertical list of items, each with its own data explaining what it is (like a normal shopping item on e-commerce). If you're a member, you can log in to another page that allows you to create new items and update them.
With this in mind, should I use a single controller to place all the logic there, for public users and members. Or should the logic be separated?

Answer 1

Imho you should separate the logic for the public content from the other logic, use two controllers it makes easier to understand what a unauthenticated user can see and do with your application
