User authentication in laravel using middleware - laravel

Question

I have a question about the built in user authentication functionality in laravel. I got the authentication part to work but it doesn't seem like a user is stored in the session.
Admin Controler Code:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Validator, Input, Redirect;
use DB;
use Session;
class AdminController extends Controller
{
public function index(Request $request)
{
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$v = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'email' => 'required',
'password' => 'required',
],
[
'required' => 'This field is required.'
]);
if ($v->fails())
{
$messages = $v->messages();
return redirect()->back()->withErrors($v)->withInput();
}
else
{
$email = $request->input('email');
$pass = $request->input('password');
$whereData = [
['email',$email],
['password',md5($pass)]
];
$res = DB::table('tbl_admin_users')->where($whereData)->get();
if(!empty($res)){
$userid=$res[0]->id;
$fname=$res[0]->fname;
Session::put('userid', $userid);
Session::put('fname', $fname);
return Redirect('admin/dashboard-listing');
}
else
{
Session::flash('message', 'Email/Password is invalid!');
Session::flash('alert-class', 'alert-danger');
return Redirect('admin/login');
}
}
}
else{
return view('admin.admin-login');
}
}
public function logout()
{
Session::flush();
return Redirect('admin/login');
}
}
Middleware Authentication.php code:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
class Authenticate
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #param string|null $guard
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)
{
if (Auth::guard($guard)->guest()) {
if ($request->ajax() || $request->wantsJson()) {
return response('Unauthorized.', 401);
} else {
return redirect()->guest('login');
}
}
return $next($request);
}
}
AuthController I have:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\User;
use Validator;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\ThrottlesLogins;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers;
class AuthController extends Controller
{
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Registration & Login Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller handles the registration of new users, as well as the
| authentication of existing users. By default, this controller uses
| a simple trait to add these behaviors. Why don't you explore it?
|
*/
use AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers, ThrottlesLogins;
/**
* Where to redirect users after login / registration.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $redirectTo = '/';
/**
* Create a new authentication controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware($this->guestMiddleware(), ['except' => 'logout']);
}
/**
* Get a validator for an incoming registration request.
*
* #param array $data
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator
*/
protected function validator(array $data)
{
return Validator::make($data, [
'name' => 'required|max:255',
'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
'password' => 'required|min:6|confirmed',
]);
}
/**
* Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
*
* #param array $data
* #return User
*/
protected function create(array $data)
{
return User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
]);
}
}
Route after correct details and login page route:
Route::get('/admin/dashboard-listing',array('uses'=>'Admin\AdminDashboardController#index'));
After logout redirect route:
Route::get('/admin/login',array('uses'=>'Admin\AdminController#index'));
My question is that how can i use middleware in this code. because
after logout i can easily access the url .back button is also worrking
i want laravel user authentication through middleware ..

Answer 1

You need to manually login user with auth()->login():
$res = DB::table('tbl_admin_users')->where($whereData)->first();
if(!empty($res)) {
$userid = $res[0]->id;
$fname = $res[0]->fname;
Session::put('userid', $userid);
Session::put('fname', $fname);
auth()->login($res);
return Redirect('admin/dashboard-listing');
}
Alternatively, you can use the auth()->loginById($res->id) method.
