Today, we are going to how to create multiple authentications using the laravel 8 (Laravel 8 Multiple Authentication Example).
Overview
Step 1: Install Laravel
Step 2: Setting Database Configuration
Step 3: Create Table using migration
Step 4: Install the Laravel/UI package
Step 5: Install the Laravel Auth command
Step 6: Create IsAdmin Middleware
Step 7: Modify the Controllers and Model
Step 8: Define The Route
Step 9: Create Blade Files
Step 10: Run Our Laravel Application
Step 1: Install Laravel
We are going to install laravel 8, so first open the command prompt or terminal and go to xampp htdocs folder directory using the command prompt. after then run the below command.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel8_multiple_authentication
Step 2: Setting Database Configuration
After the complete installation of laravel. we have to database configuration. now we will open the .env file and change the database name, username, password in the .env file. See below changes in a .env file.
DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=Enter_Your_Database_Name(laravel8_multiple_authentication) DB_USERNAME=Enter_Your_Database_Username(root) DB_PASSWORD=Enter_Your_Database_Password(root)
Step 3: Create Table using migration
Now, We need to update the user’s migration tables. so we will update the user’s migration table, see the below file to update the code for the users table.
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class CreateUsersTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('name');
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
$table->boolean('is_admin')->nullable();
$table->string('password');
$table->rememberToken();
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('users');
}
}
?>
Run the below command. after the changes above file.
php artisan migrate
Step 4: Install the Laravel/UI package
We need to laravel UI package so we will install the package using the below command.
composer require laravel/ui
when completed successfully installation of laravel UI package then we will see look like as below type of output.
Using version ^2.0 for laravel/ui ./composer.json has been updated Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies (including require-dev) Package operations: 1 install, 0 updates, 0 removals - Installing laravel/ui (v2.0.1): Downloading (100%) Writing lock file Generating optimized autoload files > Illuminate\Foundation\ComposerScripts::postAutoloadDump > @php artisan package:discover --ansi Discovered Package: facade/ignition Discovered Package: fideloper/proxy Discovered Package: fruitcake/laravel-cors Discovered Package: laravel/tinker Discovered Package: laravel/ui Discovered Package: nesbot/carbon Discovered Package: nunomaduro/collision Package manifest generated successfully.
Step 5: Install the Laravel Auth command
Now, we will install the laravel authentication using the below command.
php artisan ui bootstrap --auth
here, Laravel extracted into a scaffolding separate laravel UI packages.
Bootstrap scaffolding installed successfully. Please run "npm install && npm run dev" to compile your fresh scaffolding. Authentication scaffolding generated successfully.
Step 6: Create Middleware
Now, we will create IsAdmin Middleware using the below command and we need some changes in handle method. so you can see the below code.
php artisan make:middleware IsAdmin
app/Http/Middleware/IsAdmin.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
class IsAdmin
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure $next
* @return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if(auth()->user()->is_admin == 1){
return $next($request);
}
return redirect('home')->with('error',"You don't have admin access.");
}
}
?>
After complete changes. we need to assign route on middleware array in the app/Http/Kernel.php file. so you can see the below code.
app/Http/Kernel.php
/**
* The application's route middleware.
*
* These middleware may be assigned to groups or used individually.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $routeMiddleware = [
'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
'bindings' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::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' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ValidateSignature::class,
'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,
'verified' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\EnsureEmailIsVerified::class,
'is_admin' => \App\Http\Middleware\IsAdmin::class,
];
Step 7: Modify the controller and model
Now here, we need to add the adminHome() method in the HomeController.php file.
app/Http/Controllers/HomeController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class HomeController extends Controller
{
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth');
}
/**
* Show the application dashboard.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable
*/
public function index()
{
return view('home');
}
/**
* Show the application dashboard for admin.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable
*/
public function adminHome()
{
return view('adminHome');
}
}
?>
And second, we need to update the LoginController.php file. so you can follow the below code.
app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class LoginController 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 $redirectTo = RouteServiceProvider::HOME;
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
}
public function login(Request $request)
{
$input = $request->all();
$this->validate($request, [
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required',
]);
if(auth()->attempt(array('email' => $input['email'], 'password' => $input['password'])))
{
if (auth()->user()->is_admin == 1) {
return redirect()->route('admin.home');
}else{
return redirect()->route('home');
}
}else{
return redirect()->route('login')
->with('error','Email-Address And Password Are Wrong.');
}
}
}
?>
app/User.php
<?php
namespace App/Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasFactory;
use Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password', 'is_admin'
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be cast to native types.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
}
?>
Step 8: Define The Route
We will open the web.php in the routes directory and paste below the following code.
<?php
use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Auth::routes();
Route::get('/home',[HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('home');
Route::get('admin/home',[HomeController::class, 'adminHome'])->name('admin.home')->middleware('is_admin');
?>
Step 9: Create Blade Files
here in this step, we need to create a new adminHome.blade.php file or you can copy the file of home.blade.php and change the file name to the adminHome.blade.php.
adminHome.blade.php
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header">Dashboard</div>
<div class="card-body">
@if (session('status'))
<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
{{ session('status') }}
</div>
@endif
You are logged in admin dashboard!
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
@endsection
Step 10: Run Our Laravel Application
We can start the server and run this example using the below command.
php artisan serve
Now we will run our example using the below Url in the browser.
http://127.0.0.1:8000/
