Laravel 5.3 Custom Path for Post-authentication Re

问题:

I have two types of users: "vendors" and "clients". And I'm currently using Laravel's built-in Auth Controllers (from the make:auth command) to do my client user authentication.

And since I have two kinds of users, I have changed the $redirectTo property on the LoginController, RegisterController, and ResetPasswordController to /client/home.

Here is proof:

RegisterController LoginController

Now, it redirects to /client/home every time I successfully do registration, login, and password reset.

But the problem is when I'm in mysite.com/client/home already, whenever I would try to go to mysite.com/register or mysite.com/login via the address bar, it would redirect to mysite.com/home instead of mysite.com/client/home...

How can I make it redirect to mysite.com/client/home whenever an authenticated user tries to go to /login or /register?

The simplest option is to create separate controllers for both of your login areas. It will be easier to manage later on, and you can customise the behaviour a bit better.

The default folder structure looks like this:

app
|__Http
   |__Controllers
      |__Auth
         |__ForgotPasswordController.php
         |__LoginController.php
         |__RegisterController.php
         |__ResetPasswordController.php

You could create an additional folder for your client controllers, like so:

app
|__Http
   |__Controllers
      |__Auth
      |  |__ForgotPasswordController.php
      |  |__LoginController.php
      |  |__RegisterController.php
      |  |__ResetPasswordController.php
      |__Client
         |__Auth
            |__ForgotPasswordController.php
            |__LoginController.php
            |__RegisterController.php
            |__ResetPasswordController.php

This way you can customise the $redirectTo properties of each controllers individually.

As an alternative solution, you could overwrite the redirectPath of the RedirectsUsers trait, by creating a redirectPath method in your respective controllers, and return the URL you'd like:

public function redirectPath()
{
    if (\Request::is('client/*'))
    {
        return url('client/home');
    }

    return url('home');
}

The advantage of this second solution is that you can return controller actions and named routes as well. I personally don't like routing to URLs, as if I ever decide to change them, then I'll have to change them everywhere. Using controller actions seems like a better idea, but you could run into the same problem if you refactor your code later on. I prefer using named routes, as I can give them a sensible name, and never change them again, yet still keep all my redirects in a working order.
