Laravel custom middleware returning guard as false - laravel

Question

I am making a custom authentication in laravel 9 with custom middleware and custom guard, But the guard in my custom middleware returns false, This is my code
<?php
return [
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Authentication Defaults
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This option controls the default authentication "guard" and password
| reset options for your application. You may change these defaults
| as required, but they're a perfect start for most applications.
|
*/
'defaults' => [
'guard' => 'web',
'passwords' => 'users',
],
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Authentication Guards
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Next, you may define every authentication guard for your application.
| Of course, a great default configuration has been defined for you
| here which uses session storage and the Eloquent user provider.
|
| All authentication drivers have a user provider. This defines how the
| users are actually retrieved out of your database or other storage
| mechanisms used by this application to persist your user's data.
|
| Supported: "session"
|
*/
'guards' => [
'web' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'users',
],
'admin' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'admins',
]
],
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| User Providers
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| All authentication drivers have a user provider. This defines how the
| users are actually retrieved out of your database or other storage
| mechanisms used by this application to persist your user's data.
|
| If you have multiple user tables or models you may configure multiple
| sources which represent each model / table. These sources may then
| be assigned to any extra authentication guards you have defined.
|
| Supported: "database", "eloquent"
|
*/
'providers' => [
'users' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => App\Models\User::class,
],
'admins' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => App\Models\Admin::class,
]
// 'users' => [
// 'driver' => 'database',
// 'table' => 'users',
// ],
],
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Resetting Passwords
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| You may specify multiple password reset configurations if you have more
| than one user table or model in the application and you want to have
| separate password reset settings based on the specific user types.
|
| The expire time is the number of minutes that each reset token will be
| considered valid. This security feature keeps tokens short-lived so
| they have less time to be guessed. You may change this as needed.

*/
'passwords' => [
'users' => [
'provider' => 'users',
'table' => 'password_resets',
'expire' => 60,
'throttle' => 60,
],
],
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Password Confirmation Timeout
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here you may define the amount of seconds before a password confirmation
| times out and the user is prompted to re-enter their password via the
| confirmation screen. By default, the timeout lasts for three hours.
|
*/
'password_timeout' => 10800,
];
This is my kernel
class Kernel extends HttpKernel
{
/**
* The application's global HTTP middleware stack.
*
* These middleware are run during every request to your application.
*
* #var array<int, class-string|string>
*/
protected $middleware = [
// \App\Http\Middleware\TrustHosts::class,

];
/**

*

*/
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'web' => [

],
'api' => [
// \Laravel\Sanctum\Http\Middleware\EnsureFrontendRequestsAreStateful::class,
'throttle:api',
\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
],
];
/**
* The application's route middleware.
*
* These middleware may be assigned to groups or used individually.
*
* #var array<string, class-string|string>
*/
protected $routeMiddleware = [
'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
'auth.session' => \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,
'cache.headers' => \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\SetCacheHeaders::class,
'can' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class,
'guest' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class,
'password.confirm' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\RequirePassword::class,
'signed' => \App\Http\Middleware\ValidateSignature::class,
'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,
'verified' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\EnsureEmailIsVerified::class,
'admin' => \App\Http\Middleware\AdminMiddleware::class,
];
}
The middleware is registered as "admin"
This is my middleware which is returning false when i dd the guard gu
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class AdminMiddleware
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next){
dd(Auth::guard('admin')->check());
// dd('hh');
if(Auth::guard('admin')->check() ){
return $next($request);
}
return redirect()->route('admin.login');
}
}
This is my login controller
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Models\Admin;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;
// use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
class AdminLoginController extends Controller
{
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Login Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller handles authenticating users for the application and
| redirecting them to your home screen. The controller uses a trait
| to conveniently provide its functionality to your applications.
|
*/
// use AuthenticatesUsers;
/**
* Where to redirect users after login.
*
* #var string
*/
// protected function authenticated()
// {
// return redirect()->route('admin.dashboard');
// }
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
// $this->middleware('guest:admin')->except('logout');
}
public function showLoginForm()
{
return view('login');
}
public function adminLogin(Request $request) {
$request->validate([
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required',
]);
$credentials = $request->only('email','password');
$remember_me = $request->has('remember') ? true : false;
if (Auth::guard('admin')->attempt($credentials, $remember_me)) {
// $user = Auth::guard('admin')->user()->id;
// $user = Admin::find($user);
// Auth::guard('admin')->login($user);
return redirect()->route('admin.dashboard');
}
// dd(Auth::guard('admin')->check());
return redirect()->route('admin.login')->with('error', 'Email or Password is incorrect!');
}
}
And lastly this is my route service provider where i have added the route in the middleware
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Cache\RateLimiting\Limit;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\RouteServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\RateLimiter;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
class RouteServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* The path to the "home" route for your application.
*
* Typically, users are redirected here after authentication.
*
* #var string
*/
public const HOME = '/home';
/**
* Define your route model bindings, pattern filters, and other route configuration.
*
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
$this->configureRateLimiting();
$this->routes(function () {
Route::middleware('api')
->prefix('api')
->group(base_path('routes/api.php'));
Route::middleware('web')
->group(base_path('routes/web.php'));
Route::middleware('admin')
->prefix('admin')
->namespace($this->namespace)
->group(base_path('routes/admin.php'));
});
}
/**
* Configure the rate limiters for the application.
*
* #return void
*/
protected function configureRateLimiting()
{
RateLimiter::for('api', function (Request $request) {
return Limit::perMinute(60)->by($request->user()?->id ?: $request->ip());
});
}
}
I have tried everything, This is the exact same thing i am using in one of my other projects and it's working which is on laravel 7, But this version is laravel 9 and it's not working here, I have checked the docs, I did not find anything which could relate to this,
Thanks

Answer 1

in your AdminMiddleware can you try using auth('admin')->check(); instead of Auth::guard('admin')->check();
