LARAVEL 5x CHECK STATUS ACTIVE BEFORE LOGIN

LARAVEL 5x CHECK STATUS ACTIVE BEFORE LOGIN

For this tutorial we are using laravel 5.4 and we will add validation to user login that if user status is active then user can login otherwise if user status is not active then show error to user. so follow the below steps.

The best way to add status validation is through a middleware to check status . so we are creating middleware and we will use it in loginController.

Run the following command in console or cmd to create checkStatus middleware .

php artisan make:middleware CheckStatus

after completion of command "Middleware created successfully" will show.

then paste the below code into file .

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class CheckStatus

{

    /**

     * Handle an incoming request.

     *

     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request

     * @param  \Closure  $next

     * @return mixed

     */

    public function handle($request, Closure $next)

    {

        $response = $next($request);

        //If the status is not approved redirect to login 

        if(Auth::check() && Auth::user()->status != '1'){

            Auth::logout();

            $request->session()->flash('alert-danger', 'Your Account is not activated yet.');

            return redirect('/login')->with('erro_login', 'Your error text');

        }

        return $response;

    }

}

Our middleware is ready to use. to register our middleware open kernel.php(yourProjectFolder\app\Http\kernal.php) and search $routeMiddleware and add

'checkstatus' => \App\Http\Middleware\CheckStatus::class,

So after adding the above line your $routeMiddleware will look like

 protected $routeMiddleware = [

        'auth' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authenticate::class,

        'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,

        'bindings' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,

        'can' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class,

        'guest' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class,

        'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,

        'checkstatus' => \App\Http\Middleware\CheckStatus::class,

    ];

 Now everything is done you just need to add middleware into login controller so open LoginController(yourProjectFolder\app\Http\Controller\LoginController)   and in construct function add middleware like below code:-
    

    public function __construct()

    {

        $this->middleware(['guest','checkstatus'])->except('logout');

    }

   
After adding middleware your loginController will look like

<?php



namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;



use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;





class LoginController extends Controller

{

    use AuthenticatesUsers;



    protected $redirectTo = '/dashboard';



    public function __construct()

    {

        $this->middleware(['guest','checkstatus'])->except('logout');

    }

}

OR you can add middleware from routes.php Example
 

Route::get('/dashboard', function() {

    return view('admin.layout');

})->middleware(['auth','checkStatus']);

To show Error on your view file you can add

<div class="flash-message">

    @foreach (['danger', 'warning', 'success', 'info'] as $msg)

      @if(Session::has('alert-' . $msg))



      <p class="alert alert-{{ $msg }}">{{ Session::get('alert-' . $msg) }} <a href="#" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="close">&times;</a></p>

      @endif

    @endforeach

  </div> <!-- end .flash-message -->

  Now run your application and check login it will check status before login and show error if status!=1 you can change this validation into middleware according to your requirements. :)

Thank You.
