How to retrieve role/status of authenticated user?

问题

I am new to Laravel. I have included an additional field in the user's table named status using the line of code given in the code part below. I am trying to learn how to redirect the user based on their roles.

I understand that to retrieve an authenticated user I can use $user = Auth::user(); My question is how I can get the status of the authenticated user to be used in a redirectTo function that I plan to write.

// This is how I have added the user status field:
$table->enum('status',['user', 'admin', 'disabled'])->default('user');

回答1:

In LoginController, remove the following line.

protected $redirectTo = '/home'; 

Then add a new method redirectTo() to the LoginController. The redirectTo() method takes precedence over the redirectTo property.

public function redirectTo() {

    $role = auth()->user()->status; 

    // Check user status/role
    switch ($role) {
        case 'admin':
            return '/admin';
        case 'user':
            return '/user';
        default:
            return '/login'; 
    }
}
