wrong and right way to write eloquent

Route::filter() passes multiple filter params as individual values like function($route, $response, $param1, $param2 ...) this is an easy way to check against multiple params. If I'm checking permissions like this ->before('permission:user,moderator') this makes it easy to check against. Since Route::filter() passes $route and $response in a BEFORE filter the array_slice strips them out of the array to allow you to check against the values you want.

Laravel Invisible reCAPTCHA Example – Laravel Validate Form on Submit using Google reCaptcha

I use this to always know in my controllers if the current action is shown through a Facebook tab iframe. Upon the first request this checks if there is a "signed_request" variable posted to the page. Then $fb_state is set to true and shared with all views. The problem is that on navigating to the next page within your app this variable is lost and you don't know if this is shown through facebook. Due to the FB page proxy you can't use sessions to remember this for the next request either. I solve this problem with adding "signed_request" as a parameter (i.e. "&signed_request=123ljshgljsdhflsdhfl") to every link and form when $fb_state == true. Of course you could also pass any other variable if you don't need the actual signed_request data.
