After lots of digging and lots of questions & answers I have finally managed to work Laravel 5.2 Multi Auth with two table, So I'm writing Answer of my own Question.
How to implement Multi Auth in Laravel 5.2
As Mentioned above. Two table admin and users
Laravel 5.2 has a new artisan command.
php artisan make:auth
it will generate basic login/register route, view and controller for user table.
Make a admin table as users table for simplicity.
Controller For Admin
app/Http/Controllers/AdminAuth/AuthController
app/Http/Controllers/AdminAuth/PasswordController
(note: I just copied these files from app/Http/Controllers/Auth/AuthController here)
config/auth.php
//Authenticating guards 'guards' => [ 'user' =>[ 'driver' => 'session', 'provider' => 'user', ], 'admin' => [ 'driver' => 'session', 'provider' => 'admin', ], ], //User Providers 'providers' => [ 'user' => [ 'driver' => 'eloquent', 'model' => App\User::class, ], 'admin' => [ 'driver' => 'eloquent', 'model' => App\Admin::class, ] ], //Resetting Password 'passwords' => [ 'clients' => [ 'provider' => 'client', 'email' => 'auth.emails.password', 'table' => 'password_resets', 'expire' => 60, ], 'admins' => [ 'provider' => 'admin', 'email' => 'auth.emails.password', 'table' => 'password_resets', 'expire' => 60, ], ],
route.php
Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () { //Login Routes... Route::get('/admin/login','AdminAuth\AuthController@showLoginForm'); Route::post('/admin/login','AdminAuth\AuthController@login'); Route::get('/admin/logout','AdminAuth\AuthController@logout'); // Registration Routes... Route::get('admin/register', 'AdminAuth\AuthController@showRegistrationForm'); Route::post('admin/register', 'AdminAuth\AuthController@register'); Route::get('/admin', 'AdminController@index'); });
AdminAuth/AuthController.php
Add two methods and specify $redirectTo and $guard
protected $redirectTo = '/admin'; protected $guard = 'admin'; public function showLoginForm() { if (view()->exists('auth.authenticate')) { return view('auth.authenticate'); } return view('admin.auth.login'); } public function showRegistrationForm() { return view('admin.auth.register'); }
it will help you to open another login form for admin
creating a middleware for admin
class RedirectIfNotAdmin { /** * Handle an incoming request. * * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request * @param \Closure $next * @param string|null $guard * @return mixed */ public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = 'admin') { if (!Auth::guard($guard)->check()) { return redirect('/'); } return $next($request); }
}
register middleware in kernel.php
protected $routeMiddleware = [ 'admin' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfNotAdmin::class, ];
use this middleware in AdminController e.g.,
middleware('admin'); } public function index(){ return view('admin.dashboard'); } } That's all needed to make it working and also to get json of authenticated admin use `Auth::guard('admin')->user()` **Edit - 1** We can access authenticated user directly using `Auth::user()` but if you have two authentication table then you have to use Auth::guard('guard_name')->user() for logout Auth::guard('guard_name')->user()->logout() for authenticated user json Auth::guard('guard_name')->user() ##Edit 2 Now you can download Laravel 5.2 Multiauth implemented Project http://imrealashu.in/code/laravel/multi-auth-with-laravel-5-2-2/
protected $guard = 'guard_name'can be used now.
