From Laravel 7.x documentation, I'm trying to create a manual authentication for my application. The documentation shows as following:
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth; class LoginController extends Controller { public function authenticate(Request $request) { $credentials = $request->only('email', 'password'); if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) { // Authentication passed... return redirect()->intended('dashboard'); } } } I have my own user's table:
sys_users ========== user_acc character varying(20) NOT NULL, -- Primary Key full_name character varying(300) NOT NULL, is_suspended boolean DEFAULT FALSE, CONSTRAINT PK_SysUsers PRIMARY KEY (user_acc), To login, the user need to enter the following data:
- Username
- Password
- Module to access
I tried to customize the controller a bit (not completed yet):
class LoginController extends Controller { public function authenticate(Request $request) { $request->validate([ 'username' => 'required', 'password' => 'required', ]); $credentials = $request->only('username', 'password', 'module'); if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) { return redirect()->route($request->module); } } } What I want to add to the customized code above is: (i) checking if the username is exist in the table by querying the sys_users table, (ii) checking the password using POP3 (I already prepared the phpmailer library and the code), and (iii) checking if the user has access to those module by querying another table that I had prepared.
The problem is:
- I don't know WHERE to put all of that code. If possible, I wanted to put them inside the
Authclass'attemptmethod, but I can't seem to find the supposed method. The documentation is very lacking and did not provide a detailed explanation. - IF somehow it is impossible to modify the
attemptmethod inAuthclass, how should I proceed with the authentication process?
