Question

I use the included authentication of laravel 5.1.6 and want to know how I can extend it, to work like this:

if (Auth::attempt([\'email\' => $email, \'password         


        

Answer 1

I would add following first thing in postLogin() function.

       $this->validate($request, [
            'email' => 'required|email', 'password' => 'required',
        ]);

        if ($this->auth->validate(['email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password, 'active' => 0])) {
            return redirect($this->loginPath())
                ->withInput($request->only('email', 'remember'))
                ->withErrors('Your account is Inactive or not verified');
        }

active is a flag in user table. 0 = Inactive, 1 = active. so whole function would look like following..

public function postLogin(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'email' => 'required|email', 'password' => 'required',
        ]);
        if ($this->auth->validate(['email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password, 'active' => 0])) {
            return redirect($this->loginPath())
                ->withInput($request->only('email', 'remember'))
                ->withErrors('Your account is Inactive or not verified');
        }
        $credentials  = array('email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password);
        if ($this->auth->attempt($credentials, $request->has('remember'))){
                return redirect()->intended($this->redirectPath());
        }
        return redirect($this->loginPath())
            ->withInput($request->only('email', 'remember'))
            ->withErrors([
                'email' => 'Incorrect email address or password',
            ]);
    }
