Redirect after Login or Register: Add your own Method
In Laravel’s Auth system you can customize a few most important things – one of them is a variable $redirectTo – where to take the user after login/registration. But there’s even more to customize.
By default, our app/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisterController.php has this variable:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
class RegisterController extends Controller { protected $redirectTo = '/home'; // ... More functions here } |
Which means – after registration, user is redirected to /home. And we can change it here, easily, by just changing this variable.
But what if, in your case, it’s more than a simple variable?
What if you want to redirect user to somewhere, depending on their role or some other case? You can define it as a separate method with the same name.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
class RegisterController extends Controller { protected $redirectTo = '/home'; protected function redirectTo() { if (auth()->user()->role_id == 1) { return '/admin'; } return '/home'; } } |
Basically, we can add any logic we want inside that method, and it will override the variable $redirectTo.
We can do same thing with LoginController.
You can read more about customizations in Auth – in the official documentation.
