I am developing a project using laravel 5.2. I use default authentication in this project by running this command.
php artisan make:auth
Everything is working great. Now I want to put some data in session after authenticate the user. I can not find the place where I put my code to store data in session after authenticate the user. I googled but not found any solution.
Finally I got answer from another question. Here i post the solution for who are looking this type of solution
authenticated() method.You can check whether the user is logged in or not using the following code.
if (Auth::check()) {
// The user is logged in...
}
Then you can use the session helper class to set the required value in session.
session()->set('session_key', 'session_value');
Additionally, you can remove the session using the forget method.
session()->forget('session_key');
Resources to read.
https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/authentication
In 5.2 you need to override login() method from Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers trait in AuthController.php.
To set data use session() helper in login() method:
session(['key' => 'value']);
