Need Help with setting up Authetication

[MussadiqKhan]

Summary

I usually use Middleware for verifying users and protect my routes. If token not found in cookie or it is not valid i redirect to login. However, I was planning to use a different approach in my ongoing project. I am using route groups this give me freedom to have one layout file for all protected routes. Is it a good approach to ditch middleware and use my auth checks in layout of protected route? What's your opinion on this?

I think your questions are answered here, somewhat: #63775

IN short, solely relying in Middleware, was not a best practice itself, you should check at the access point. Checking in layouts is also not a very good idea! Read through the main post on that discussion and some of the comments where people ask your questions as well.
