[php] Laravel 5.4 redirection to custom url after login

I am using Laravel Framework 5.4.10, and I am using the regular authentication that

php artisan make:auth

provides. I want to protect the entire app, and to redirect users to /themes after login.

I have 4 controllers: ForgotPasswordController.php, LoginController.php, RegisterController.php and ResetPasswordController.php. I have edited this line into the last three:

protected $redirectTo = '/themes';

This is the first line in my routes/web.php:

Auth::routes();

I have added this function in my Controller.php:

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');

    }

I have edited app/Http/Middleware/RedirectIfAuthenticated.php, so that the handle function looks like this:

public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)
{
    if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
        return redirect('/themes');
    }

    return $next($request);
}

It's all fine, except when I click the Login button, I get redirected to "/", not "/themes". If I don't require authentication in the controllers (no __contruct function in Controller.php file), I get redirected OK at login. What am I doing wrong?

Path Customization (tested in laravel 7) When a user is successfully authenticated, they will be redirected to the /home URI. You can customize the post-authentication redirect path using the HOME constant defined in your RouteServiceProvider:

public const HOME = '/home';

If you look in the AuthenticatesUsers trait you will see that in the sendLoginResponse method that there is a call made to $this->redirectPath(). If you look at this method then you will discover that the redirectTo can either be a method or a variable.

This is what I now have in my auth controller.

public function redirectTo() {
    $user = Auth::user();
    switch(true) {
        case $user->isInstructor():
            return '/instructor';
        case $user->isAdmin():
        case $user->isSuperAdmin():
            return '/admin';
        default:
            return '/account';
    }
}

You should set $redirectTo value to route that you want redirect

$this->redirectTo = route('dashboard');

inside AuthController constructor.

/**
 * 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']);
    $this->redirectTo = route('dashboard');
}

1. Go to Providers->RouteServiceProvider.php

2. There change the route, given below:

   class RouteServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
   {
    protected $namespace = 'App\Http\Controllers';
   
    /**
     * The path to the "home" route for your application.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    public const HOME = '/dashboard';
   

you can add method in LoginController add line use App\User; on Top, after this add method, it is work for me wkwkwkwkw , but you must add {{ csrf_field() }} on view admin and user

protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user){

$user=User::where('email',$request->input('email'))->pluck('jabatan');
$c=" ".$user." ";
$a=strcmp($c,' ["admin"] ');

if ($a==0) {
    return redirect('admin');

}else{
    return redirect('user');

}}

in accord with Laravel documentation, I create in app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php the following method :

protected function redirectTo()
{
    $user=Auth::user();

    if($user->account_type == 1){
        return '/admin';
    }else{
        return '/home';
    }

}

to get the user information from my db I used "Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;".

For newer versions of Laravel, please replace protected $redirectTo = RouteServiceProvider::HOME; with protected $redirectTo = '/newurl'; and replace newurl accordingly.

Tested with Laravel version-6

The way I've done it by using AuthenticatesUsers trait.

\App\Http\Controllers\Auth\LoginController.php

Add this method to that controller:

/**
 * Check user's role and redirect user based on their role
 * @return 
 */
public function authenticated()
{
    if(auth()->user()->hasRole('admin'))
    {
        return redirect('/admin/dashboard');
    } 

    return redirect('/user/dashboard');
}
