Adding custom where clause to AuthenticatesUser Trait Laravel - laravel

Question

We have decided to use Laravel for a project as a test run for future frameworks and are really enjoying it. There is one issue we are having though.
We use the trait Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers which handles user authentication. It works well. However, we have a column in the database called userstatus which could be a 0 or a 1.
How do we inject this where clause into the Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers trait?
I was thinking maybe something here (in my LoginController):
public function authenticated($request , $user){
//if $user->userstatus != 1 logout and redirect to start page
}
But I dont know how to logout (im looking into that now) .

Answer 1

your logic is right, you should redefine login and authenticated methods within LoginController.
your methods should be like below:
this method should be within your LoginController.php:
class LoginController extends Controller
{
use AuthenticatesUsers {
login as public loginParent;
}
protected function login(Request $request){
$default = '/';
$user = User::where('email', $request->get('email'))->NotActive->first();
if($user){
return redirect()->intended($default);
}
return $this->loginParent($request);
}
protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
{
if($user->not_active) {
$this->logout($request);
}
}
}
then we should create ScopeNotActive method within User.php Model as Local Scope:
//User.php
public function ScopeNotActive($query){
return $query->where('userStatus', '!=', 1);
}
and a Mutator to check if the user is not active:
// User.php
public function getNotActiveAttribute(){
return $this->userStatus != 1;
}
