+Gates may also be defined using a `Class@method` style callback string, like controllers:

+     * Register any authentication / authorization services.
+     *
+     * @return void

+
+#### Resource Gates
+
+You may also define multiple Gate abilities at once using the `resource` method:
+
+    Gate::resource('posts', 'PostPolicy');
+
+This is identical to manually defining the following Gate definitions:
+
+    Gate::define('posts.view', 'PostPolicy@view');
+    Gate::define('posts.create', 'PostPolicy@create');
+    Gate::define('posts.update', 'PostPolicy@update');
+    Gate::define('posts.delete', 'PostPolicy@delete');
+
+By default, the `view`, `create`, `update`, and `delete` abilities will be defined. You may define additional abilities by passing an array as third argument to the `resource` method. The key of the array defines the name of the ability while the value defines the method name:
+
+    Gate::resource('posts', 'PostPolicy', [
+        'posts.photo' => 'updatePhoto',
+        'posts.image' => 'updateImage',
+    ]);

-If you are using the [Vue](https://vuejs.org) JavaScript framework without the authentication scaffolding provided by the `make:auth` Artisan command, you will need to manually define a `Laravel` JavaScript object in your primary application layout. This object specifies the CSRF token Vue should use when making requests:

-        window.Laravel = {!! json_encode([
-            'csrfToken' => csrf_token(),
-        ]) !!};

+When building JavaScript driven applications, it is convenient to have your JavaScript HTTP library automatically attach the CSRF token to every outgoing request. By default, the `resources/assets/js/bootstrap.js` file registers the value of the `csrf-token` meta tag with the Axios HTTP library. If you are not using this library, you will need to manually configure this behavior for your application.

 Laravel stores the current CSRF token in a `XSRF-TOKEN` cookie that is included with each response generated by the framework. You can use the cookie value to set the `X-XSRF-TOKEN` request header.
