Laravel - How to redirect to login if user is not authenticated

Question

I\'m trying to use the __constructor from the extended class (AdminController extends AdminBaseController) but aparently it\'s not working

Answer 1

Use middleware for this purpose and then in controller constructor use it as in example below.

public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'logout']);
}

And then you need to secure routes where you want from user to be logged in to access.

Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function() {
      Route::get('/dashboard', 'DashboardController@index');
});
