and here is my route
Route::get('/login', 'loginController#create');
Route::post('/login', 'loginController#store');
and my loginController is
class loginController extends Controller
{
public function __construct(){
$this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'destroy']);
}
public function create(){
return view('pages.admin.login');
}
public function store(){
if(! auth()->attempt(request(['email', 'password']))){
return back()->withErrors([
'message' => 'Please check your credentials'
]);
}
return redirect('/home');
}
}
My user modal is
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'fname','oname','lname', 'email', 'phone','password',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
}
Please where i'm i doing wrong on these, when i entered email and password as my credential it just refresh and back to login page

Answer 1

auth()->attempt() requires an array, you're sending the return value of request() as a single argument, may that be it?

Answer 2

Your function should be like this with Request facade.
public function store(Request $request){
if(! auth()->attempt($request->only(['email', 'password']))){
return back()->withErrors([
'message' => 'Please check your credentials'
]);
}
return redirect('/home');
}

Answer 3

Here is how your attempt function should be like:
if(Auth::attempt( ['email'=> $request['email'],'password' => $request['password'] ])

Answer 4

Add these on top of LoginController
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
and modify your store method
public function store(Request $request){
$email = $request->email;
$password = $request->password;
if (! Auth::attempt(['email' => $email, 'password' => $password])) {
// Authentication Failed...
return back()->withErrors([
'message' => 'Please check your credentials'
]);
}
return redirect('/home');
}
Also remove password from $hidden in your User Model.
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'remember_token',
];
Hope it's helpful.

Answer 5

You can use php artisan make:auth and laravel will produce everything needed for a login including the controller and then you can go into your resource and edit to make it look how you imagined.
This is what my login controller looks like after using php artisan make:auth
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
class LoginController extends Controller
{
use AuthenticatesUsers;
/**
* Where to redirect users after login.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $redirectTo = '/home';
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
}
}
