Laravel check if user email verified

Question

Hi i want to check if user email verified only in one function in a controller, i don't want to set the check in the middle-ware or in the route like this:

 public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('verified');
}

because the controller is accessible to guest also just one function (create) in the controller require email to be verified and user logged in how do i do that, thanks

        public function create()
    {

       // checking if authenticated but need to check if email verified also        
        if (Auth::check()) {

            // Get the currently authenticated user...
            $user = Auth::user();

            // get the list of states
            $states = State::orderBy('name', 'asc')->get();
            // get all cities by state_id
            $state_id  = '1';

            $cities = City::where('state_id', $state_id)->orderBy('name', 'asc')->get();

            return view('pages.create_product', ['user' => $user, 'states' => $states, 'cities' =>                     $cities]);
        } else {
            return redirect()->route('login');
        }
    }

I would recommend you either do it in the web.php routes file like this:

Route::get('example/create', ExampleController@create)->middleware('verified');

Or do it in the controller constructor but for a specific method like this:

 public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('verified')->only('create');
}

If you really want to do it within the controller method, you can check by using this code.

$user = Auth::user();

$user->hasVerifiedEmail();

And do not forget to include MustVerifyEmail interface on your User model.
