My login form in blade validates but wont display errors, it returns to login page with blank entries upon failure, how do I go about this?
Initially my route was defined in api.php and was getting same issue so I changed it to web.php and still same. Also value="{{old('name')}}" too dose not work.
Here is the form I wrote in the blade
<h5>Login Your Account</h5> <!-- FORM --> @if ($errors->any()) <div class="alert alert-danger"> <ul> @foreach ($errors->all() as $error) <li>{{ $error }}</li> @endforeach </ul> </div> @endif <form method="POST" action="/login" > {{ csrf_field() }} <div class="form-group"> <label for="name">Name</label> <input type="text" id="name" class="form-control" name="name" placeholder="" value="{{old('name')}}"> @if ($errors->has('name')) <p class="help-block">{{ $errors->first('name') }}</p> @endif </div> <div class="form-group "> <label for="password">Password</label> <input type="password" id="password" class="form-control" name="password" value="{{old('password')}}"> @if ($errors->has('password')) <p class="help-block">{{ $errors->first('password') }}</p> @endif </div> <li class="col-sm-12 text-left"> <button type="submit" class="btn-round">Login</button> </li> </form> Here is my controller login function
public function login(Request $request){ $validator= Validator::make($request->all(), ['name'=> "bail|required|max:50|exists:users", 'password' => 'required|min:6|exists:users,password' ] ); if ($validator->fails()){ return redirect()->back()->withInput()->withError($validator); } else{ if (Auth::attempt(['name'=> $request->name, 'password'=>$request->password])){ return redirect('/home'); } } Here is my web.php route
Route::get('/', function () { return view('home'); }); Route::post('/login','API\userController@login'); And my kernel.php
<?php namespace App\Http; use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Kernel as HttpKernel; class Kernel extends HttpKernel { /** * The application's global HTTP middleware stack. * * These middleware are run during every request to your application. * * @var array */ protected $middleware = [ \App\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode::class, \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ValidatePostSize::class, \App\Http\Middleware\TrimStrings::class, \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ConvertEmptyStringsToNull::class, \App\Http\Middleware\TrustProxies::class, ]; /** * The application's route middleware groups. * * @var array */ protected $middlewareGroups = [ 'web' => [ \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class, \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class, \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class, // \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class, \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class, \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class, \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class, \Laravel\Passport\Http\Middleware\CreateFreshApiToken::class, ], 'api' => [ 'throttle:60,1', 'bindings', ], ]; /** * The application's route middleware. * * These middleware may be assigned to groups or used individually. * * @var array */ protected $routeMiddleware = [ 'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class, 'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class, 'bindings' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class, 'cache.headers' => \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\SetCacheHeaders::class, 'can' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class, 'guest' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class, 'signed' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ValidateSignature::class, 'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class, 'verified' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\EnsureEmailIsVerified::class, ]; /** * The priority-sorted list of middleware. * * This forces non-global middleware to always be in the given order. * * @var array */ protected $middlewarePriority = [ \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class, \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class, \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class, \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class, \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class, \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class, ]; } If validation is successful, It redirects to the route I specified, but once it fails it directs back to the log in page with no error displayed
