I have a laravel application
login page is in route /login
there is a logged in user and clicks on a login button (or basically open URL /login)
application redirects the user to /home but I want to be redirected to /dashboard
I changed the redirect fields in Auth controllers to /dashboard. results when a user signs in, application redirects him to /dashboard but what about a logged in user?
I use laravel 5.4, thank you for helping
You should use the RedirectIfAuthenticated middleware that is supplied with Laravel located in App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated.
Then, in the following block, make sure it's set to /dashboard.
if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
return redirect('/dashboard');
}
Then add the middleware to your login route by either wrapping it in a group:
Route::group(['middleware' => 'guest'], function(){
//Auth routes for non-authenticated users
});
Or you can do it on the route directly:
->middleware('guest');
Goto login controller which is located in
app->Http->Auth->LoginController
Set
protected $redirectTo = '/dashboard'
Hope it works.

Since you want to redirect logged in user you can override showLoginForm() method in LoginController like this:
public function showLoginForm()
{
if (auth()->check()) {
return redirect('/dashboard');
}
return view('auth.login');
}
But I guess a better way to solve the problem could be just hiding login button or link from logged in users:
@if (auth()->guest())
{{-- Show register and login links --}}
@endif
protected $redirectTo = '/dashboard';
