Laravel session table add additional column - session

Question

I want to add an extra column user_id on session table.
The reason is, some time there are spammer to sign up fake account, once I know that the user is spammer, I want to log the user out by deleting the session record.
Is it possible to achieve this?

Answer 1

This is the session migration schema:
Schema::create('sessions', function($table)
{
$table->string('id')->unique();
$table->text('payload');
$table->integer('last_activity');
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned(); //// ADD IT!
});
You can add whatever column you like on it, Laravel won't mind.
Or you can create a new migration and make it add a column on that table.
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
You can create a Model for it:
class SessionModel extends Eloquent {
}
And do whatever you need with it:
$session = SessionModel::find(Session::getId());
$session->user_id = 1;
$session->save();
But if you're thinking about adding more info to the payload, which is where Laravel keeps the session data, although I think it's possible, you'll have to dig a bit more in Laravel's code to do that.

Answer 2

Short version of migration
if( Schema::hasTable('sessions') ) {
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
}
Need to check if exist session table. Or create it before:
php artisan session:table
php artisan migrate

Answer 3

This is the session migration schema:
Schema::create('sessions', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->string('id')->unique();
$table->integer('user_id')->nullable();
$table->string('ip_address', 45)->nullable();
$table->text('user_agent')->nullable();
$table->text('device')->nullable();
$table->text('payload');
$table->integer('last_activity');
});
To add the information to the payload after adding COLUMN to the TABLE, just change the DatabaseSessionHandler class.
path: vendor/laravel/framework/src/illuminate/Session
Ex:
1º Creates the function
protected function device()
{
$agent = new \Jenssegers\Agent\Agent;
if ($agent->isDesktop()){
$device = 'desktop';
}
return $device;
}
2º add in function addRequestInformation (& $ payload)
protected function addRequestInformation(&$payload)
{
if ($this->container->bound('request')) {
$payload = array_merge($payload, [
'ip_address' => $this->ipAddress(),
'user_agent' => $this->userAgent(),
'device' => $this->device(),
]);
}
return $this;
}
Ready, device added to the table when the user login.
