How to Change Redirect After Login/Register in Laravel Breeze

In default Laravel, there's one constant responsible for the redirection of logged-in users:

app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php:

1class RouteServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
2{
3    /**
4     * The path to the "home" route for your application.
5     * Typically, users are redirected here after authentication.
6     */
7    public const HOME = '/home';

Laravel itself uses that RouteServiceProvider::HOME in the Middleware which is fired if the user is already logged in.

app/Http/Middleware/RedirectIfAuthenticated.php:

 1class RedirectIfAuthenticated
 2{
 3    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next, ...$guards)
 4    {
 5        $guards = empty($guards) ? [null] : $guards;
 6 
 7        foreach ($guards as $guard) {
 8            if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
 9                return redirect(RouteServiceProvider::HOME);
10            }
11        }
12 
13        return $next($request);
14    }
15}

So, first, you need to change that redirect() to your custom logic.

Let's say that your logic will be inside of your User model, like this:

app/Models/User.php:

 1class User extends Authenticatable
 2{
 3    // ...
 4 
 5    public function getRedirectRoute()
 6    {
 7        return match((int)$this->role_id) {
 8            1 => 'student.dashboard',
 9            2 => 'teacher.dashboard',
10            // ...
11        };
12    }
13}

Then, in the RedirectIfAuthenticated Middleware, you change it to this:

1if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
2    return redirect(Auth::user()->getRedirectRoute());
3}

Laravel Breeze

Laravel Breeze uses the same RouteServiceProvider::HOME in two places separately: Controller for the Registration and for the Login.

app/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisteredUserController.php:

1public function store(Request $request): RedirectResponse
2{
3    // ...
4 
5    Auth::login($user);
6 
7    return redirect(RouteServiceProvider::HOME);
8}

Change the last line to:

1return redirect(auth()->user()->getRedirectRoute());

And then the Login Controller.

app/Http/Controllers/Auth/AuthenticatedSessionController.php:

1public function store(LoginRequest $request): RedirectResponse
2{
3    $request->authenticate();
4 
5    $request->session()->regenerate();
6 
7    return redirect()->intended(RouteServiceProvider::HOME);
8}

Change the last line to:

1return redirect()->intended(auth()->user()->getRedirectRoute());
