On my application, i'm using the login from the Steam API.
When the user authenticate on steam, the app create a new user if he doesn't exists on the database, else he bring the user data.
In this process, even if i create or just select the user info, i get an array from the user, and i do the Auth::login($user, true); .
On this function it works, if i debug the Auth::user() he returns correctly.
On the view i can use the Auth::guest() too and it works.
But if i go to another page, that only logged users can join, Auth::guest() returns true, Auth::check() returns false, Auth::user() returns NULL... (on the controller).
How can i access the auth methods on the new controller?
Controller that fails with auth:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Profile;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\User;
use Auth;
class ProfileController extends Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
if(Auth::guest()) {
return redirect()->route('home');
}
}
public function index()
{
// die(var_dump(Auth::user()->id));
return view('pages/profile/profile');
}
}
