I had a similar situation where I wanted to check if a user is an owner or admin before visiting a route; so I didn't need duplicate routes, and needed to pass an array instead of set single parameters.

I went down the route of sending a single paramter but using an | as a delimiter to explode on the middlewhere class.

In the route I had this for the route group Route::group(['middleware' => ['checkRole:admin|owner']], function () {

and then in the middlewhere I used explode

$roles = explode('|', $permitted_roles);

Simple looped through the roles array to check if the user had one of the roles :) Hope this helps. Simple and easy for what I needed.

You can send your parameters separated with comma (which means you're sending more than one parameters):

Route::middleware('my_middleware:param1,param2');

And then get them in the handle function of the middleware as variable function arguments:

public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next, ...$param_array): Response
{
    //use $param_array as an array consisting of parameters sent
    //example: if(in_array($request->param, $param_array)) {do some logic}
}
