How to redirect users conditionally? - php

Question

I am on Laravel with Jetstream, I am using responses to redirect a user, once after a user registers himself. I am successfully able to redirect users whenever a user registers. Only admins can create users or invite them. So whenever I create a user from the admin panel, it redirects me to the route('frontend.dashboard') which can only be viewed by the user with a client role. So as I am logged in as an administrator, it throws me a status error 404.
How can I omit the redirection part when an administrator is registering an account. So a user is only redirected whenever he himself registers.
RegisterResponse.php
class RegisterResponse implements RegisterResponseContract
{
public function toResponse($request)
{
if(Auth::user()->hasAnyRoles(['Administrator', 'Employee'])) {
return redirect()->route('backend.dashboard');
}
return redirect()->route('frontend.dashboard');
}

You can use middleware to restrict user to redirect different routes.
Otherwise you can create two tables named "permissions" and "features" in your database.
Table columns should be like this:
- Table(Permissions):
Schema::create('permissions', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->unsignedInteger('user_id');
$table->unsignedInteger('feature_id');
$table->timestamps();
});
- Table(Features):
Schema::create('features', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('name');
$table->timestamps();
});
Now make a helper function like this which will check if the particular user has access to redirect to the particular route.
**
Helper function:
**
function has_permission($feature_name)
{
$user = Auth::user();
if($user->role->name == 'admin' ){
$status = True;
}else{
$feature = Feature::where('name', $feature_name)->first();
$status = Permission::where([['user_id', $user->id],['feature_id', $feature->id]])->exists();
}
return $status;
}
So, now you can add condition in your Controllers every functions which redirect to a page like this:
if (!has_permission('shipments')) {
$notification=array(
'message' => 'Sorry ! You do not have permission',
'alert-type' => 'warning'
);
