I created a simple login and registration in my page and I also added some new columns in the default users table. Now my problem is I have another table named as admin and the default Laravel's Auth table is users. How can I implement the same functionality in my table?
In the Users model it has the declaration for the table name
protected $table = 'users';
Can you give me an example how can I use the default laravel's auth class?
Thats all thanks. :-)
Laravel takes default users table for an application. For a change of laravel authentication different table relevant table name, we need to make a small change in authentication file of config.
Go to
config/auth.php
'providers' => [
// 'users' => [
// 'driver' => 'eloquent',
// 'model' => App\User::class,
// ],
'users' => [
'driver' => 'database',
'table' => 'user',
],
],
'table' => 'my_user_table' with eloquent driver. I am under Laravel7 and there are also in RegisterController class a validator method with : 'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email', 'max:255', 'unique:my_user_table'], `Do you hear about Multiauth in laravel. in this library there are two or more type user can login in one laravel application. In our case there are two type user Admin and Public that means User right.
Both forgot password and reset password functionality works separately in one application.
After install this library have have one step like below.
'multi' => [ 'admin' => [ 'driver' => 'database', 'table' => 'admin', 'email' => 'client.emails.password' ], 'users' => [ 'driver' => 'database', 'table' => 'users', 'email' => 'client.emails.password', ] ],
change your Auth.php file code with this one.
installation
Firstly you want to include this package in your composer.json file.
"require": {
"sboo/multiauth" : "4.0.*"
}
Now you'll want to update or install via composer.
composer update
Usage
Everything is done the exact same way as the original library, the one exception being that all method calls are prefixed with the key (account or user in the above examples) as a method itself.
Auth::admin()->attempt(array(
'email' => $attributes['email'],
'password' => $attributes['password'],
));
Auth::client()->attempt(array(
'email' => $attributes['email'],
'password' => $attributes['password'],
));
Auth::admin()->check();
Auth::client()->check();
I don't think the best way is to duplicate your table. I would extend users table with a role field that indicates if the user is a standard one or an admin. This way, you can keep the same code and add the ADMIN functionality that you are looking for.
If you NEED to do that and you are using Laravel 4, maybe you can use this plugin:

Also in this thread you have code that implements Auth in different tables:

But I strongly suggest to integrate both tables in one with an Admin flag/field
