Laravel get intended url

Question

I use a common httpRequest to login, so I could use Redirect::intended(); to lead the user to a url before them being lead to the login page. That all works we

Answer 1

I am using the following approach with a custom login controller and middleware for Laravel 5.7, but I hope that works in any of laravel 5 versions

• inside middleware

  if (Auth::check()){
      return $next($request);
  }
  else{
    return redirect()->guest(route('login'));
  }
  

• if you are not passing the intented url to client side use the following inside controller login method

  if (Auth::attempt(['email' => $email, 'password' => $password])) {
  return redirect()->intended('/default');
  }
  

• If you need to pass the intented url to client side, you can try the following

     if (Auth::attempt(['username' => $request->username, 'password' => $request->password])) {
         $intended_url= redirect()->intended('/default')->getTargetUrl();
         $response = array(
        'status' => 'success',
        'redirectUrl' => $intended_url,
        'message' => 'Login successful.you will be redirected to home..', );
        return response()->json($response);
      } else {
          $response = array(
        'status' => 'failed',
        'message' => 'username or password is incorrect', );
       return response()->json($response);
      }
  

• Redirect to the intented url from clientside

         success: function (data) {               
                if(data.redirectUrl){
                window.location.href = data.redirectUrl;
                }
         },
