You can do that using regular expression constraits on your route:

Route::get('{user_tipe}/event', 'admin\EventC@index')->where('user_tipe', 'admin|author');

admin|author is a simple regular expression that will match either the string admin or author

UPDATE

Here you can find how to use the route param constraints when using Route::group

nice, the regular expression for routes is the best way for that – RAUSHAN KUMAR Jun 24 '17 at 06:18

Thanks @moppo. I tried same approach on the `Route::group(['prefix' => '/{lang}'], function(){ //Routes for en and fr goes here. })->where('lang', 'en|fr');` but i got this error `Call to a member function where() on null`. Please, any heads up to solve my worry? – FONGOH MARTIN May 16 '18 at 17:14
