How to Make Admin Auth in Laravel 8?

Hello Laravel Friends,

Today we will learn about How to Make Admin Auth in Laravel 8.

Admin authentication is required in Laravel when you work with web applications. So here I will explain How to Make Admin Auth in Laravel 8 in a step-by-step way.

So let’s start the Admin Auth in Laravel 8.

Steps to Make Admin Auth in Laravel 8:

Step 1:  Create an admin table in the database

Create one migration for admin and add “name, email, password, created_at, updated_at” fields in the “admins” table

Step 2: Add Guards

To add guards, you need to make the following changes in the config/auth.php file.

'guards' => [
        'web' => [
            'driver' => 'session',
            'provider' => 'users',
        ],
        'admin' => [
            'driver' => 'session',
            'provider' => 'admins',
        ],
    ],

 'providers' => [
        'users' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
            'model' => App\Models\User::class,
        ],
        'admins' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
            'model' => App\Models\Admin::class,
        ],
    ],

Step 3: Add admin auth middleware

Run the below command

php artisan make:middleware AdminAuthenticated

Now, move to the below path

app/Http/Middleware/AdminAuthenticated.php

And add the code as follows

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class AdminAuthenticated
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Illuminate\Http\Response|\Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse)  $next
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response|\Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
     */    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
    {
        if (Auth::guard('admin')->user()) {
            return $next($request);
        }
        if ($request->ajax() || $request->wantsJson()) {
            return response('Unauthorized.', 401);
        } else {
            return redirect(route('adminLogin'));
        }
    }
}

Step 4: Add Middlewave in Kernel.php file

Move to the following path

app/Http/Kernel.php

Now add the code as follows

protected $middlewareGroups = [
        'web' => [
            \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
            \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
            \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
            // \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,
            \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
            \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
            \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
        ],

        'admin' => [
            \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
            \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
            \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
            // \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,
            \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
            \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
            \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
        ],

    ];

 /**
     * The application's route middleware.
     *
     * These middleware may be assigned to groups or used individually.
     *
     * @var array<string, class-string|string>
     */    protected $routeMiddleware = [
        'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
        'adminauth' => \App\Http\Middleware\AdminAuthenticated::class,
        'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
        'cache.headers' => \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\SetCacheHeaders::class,
        'can' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class,
        'guest' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class,
        'password.confirm' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\RequirePassword::class,
        'signed' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ValidateSignature::class,
        'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,
        'verified' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\EnsureEmailIsVerified::class,
    ];

Step 5: Add Admin Login Routes

Go to the below-mentioned path

routes/web.php

Now add the below code

Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin', 'namespace' => 'Admin'], function () {
    Route::get('/login', [AdminAuthController::class, 'getLogin'])->name('adminLogin');
    Route::post('/login', [AdminAuthController::class, 'postLogin'])->name('adminLoginPost');

    Route::group(['middleware' => 'adminauth'], function () {
        Route::get('/', function () {
            return view('welcome');
        })->name('adminDashboard');

    });
});

Step 6: Create AdminAuth controller

Run the following command

php artisan make:controller Admin/AdminAuthController

Then navigate to the following path

app/Http/Controllers/Admin/AdminAuthController.php

And add the below code snippet

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;

class AdminAuthController extends Controller
{
    public function getLogin(){
        return view('admin.auth.login');
    }

    public function postLogin(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'email' => 'required|email',
            'password' => 'required',
        ]);

        if(auth()->guard('admin')->attempt(['email' => $request->input('email'),  'password' => $request->input('password')])){
            $user = auth()->guard('admin')->user();
            if($user->is_admin == 1){
                return redirect()->route('adminDashboard')->with('success','You are Logged in sucessfully.');
            }
        }else {
            return back()->with('error','Whoops! invalid email and password.');
        }
    }

    public function adminLogout(Request $request)
    {
        auth()->guard('admin')->logout();
        Session::flush();
        Session::put('success', 'You are logout sucessfully');
        return redirect(route('adminLogin'));
    }
}

Step 7:  Create a Blade file

Go to the below path

resources\views\admin\auth\login.blade.php

And add the code as follows

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Admin Login</title>
</head>

<body class="vertical-layout vertical-menu-modern" data-open="click" data-menu="vertical-menu-modern" data-col="" data-framework="laravel">
    <div class="auth-wrapper auth-basic px-2">
        <div class="auth-inner my-2">
            <!-- Login basic -->
            @if(\Session::get('success'))
            <div class="alert alert-success alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">
                <div class="alert-body">
                    {{ \Session::get('success') }}
                </div>
                <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close"></button>
            </div>
            @endif
            {{ \Session::forget('success') }}
            @if(\Session::get('error'))
            <div class="alert alert-danger alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">
                <div class="alert-body">
                    {{ \Session::get('error') }}
                </div>
                <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close"></button>
            </div>
            @endif
            <div class="card mb-0">
                <div class="card-body">
                    <h2 class="brand-text text-primary ms-1">Admin Login</h2>

                    <form class="auth-login-form mt-2" action="{{route('adminLoginPost')}}" method="post">
                        @csrf
                        <div class="mb-1">
                            <label for="email" class="form-label">Email</label>
                            <input type="text" class="form-control" id="email" name="email" value="{{old('email') }}" autofocus />
                            @if ($errors->has('email'))
                            <span class="help-block font-red-mint">
                                <strong>{{ $errors->first('email') }}</strong>
                            </span>
                            @endif
                        </div>

                        <div class="mb-1">
                            <div class="d-flex justify-content-between">
                                <label class="form-label" for="password">Password</label>
                                <a href="{{url('auth/forgot-password-basic')}}">
                                    <small>Forgot Password?</small>
                                </a>
                            </div>
                            <div class="input-group input-group-merge form-password-toggle">
                                <input type="password" class="form-control form-control-merge" id="password" name="password" tabindex="2" />
                                <span class="input-group-text cursor-pointer"><i data-feather="eye"></i></span>
                            </div>
                            @if ($errors->has('password'))
                            <span class="help-block font-red-mint">
                                <strong>{{ $errors->first('password') }}</strong>
                            </span>
                            @endif
                        </div>
                        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary w-100" tabindex="4">Sign in</button>
                    </form>
                </div>
            </div>
            <!-- /Login basic -->
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

</html>
