login event handling in laravel 5

Question

i am trying to hook to the login even in my L5 app to set last login time and IP address. i can make it work with the following:

Event::listen(\'auth.login\'         


        

Answer 1

For 5.2 something like this

in Listeners:

use Carbon\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login;

class UpdateLastLoginWithIp
{
    public function handle(Login $event)
    {
        $event->user->last_login_at = Carbon::now();
        $event->user->last_login_ip = Request::getClientIp()
        $event->user->save();
    }
}

In EventServiceProvider.php :

protected $listen = [
        'Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login' => [
            'City\Listeners\UpdateLastLoginWithIp',
        ],
    ];

Answer 2

EDIT: this only works in 5.0.* and 5.1.*.

For the 5.2.* solution see JuLiAnc response below.

after working with both proposed answers, and some more research i finally figured out how to do this the way i was trying at first.

i ran the following artisan command

$ php artisan handler:event AuthLoginEventHandler

Then i altered the generated class removing the import of the Event class and and imported the user model. I also passed User $user and $remember to the handle method since when the auth.login event is fired, thats what is passed.

<?php namespace App\Handlers\Events;

use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldBeQueued;
use App\User;

class AuthLoginEventHandler {

    /**
     * Create the event handler.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Handle the event.
     *
     * @param  User $user
     * @param  $remember
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle(User $user, $remember)
    {
        dd("login fired and handled by class with User instance and remember variable");
    }

}

now i opened EventServiceProvided.php and modified the $listen array as follows:

protected $listen = [
    'auth.login' => [
        'App\Handlers\Events\AuthLoginEventHandler',
    ],
];

i realized if this doesn't work at first, you may need to

$ php artisan clear-compiled

There we go! we can now respond to the user logging in via the auth.login event using an event handler class!
