Hey Max! I'm really happy to find your channel. You are an awesome teacher. These Laravel tutorials are fantastic and have helped a lot. I can't wait to dig into your Angular 2 stuff. I previewed it, feeling pretty excited.

For anyone who has issues with the Dashboard still being accessible it's more than likely because the Test Users you created at the beginning are still logged in. Because Max hasn't covered a Logout Session yet. For those who don't want to mess around with the Laravel code. Just delete all your test users from your MySQL database and you should see the Redirect work. Then you can create new test users as we go along. Cheers!!!

Lieber Maximilian, danke sehr fuer deine Tutorien!

For the guys having isses with Laravel 5.5.
i took a look at the docs, and here is the solution:
we have to add write the dashboard Route like this:

Route::get('/dashboard', [
'as' => 'dashboard',
])->middleware('auth');;

and also change the Route::group(['middleware' ..
name('home); to name('login');

if after doing all this you still can access the dashboard page then you need to clear the cookies as the user session is already made when we tried to login earlier and we never logged out as we dont have that functionality yet.

'angular 2, I said it again!!', that makes me laugh every time :)

what is for if we visit welcome page with login, this not redirecting to dashboard, because user already logged in they should not see the welcome page again

[agil-jn]

I want to ask something rly basic, what if I want to redirect to a page without that 'uses' => 'blah blah blah' line, i dont get what it excactly does and what will happen if i dont use something like that. cuz when I creat a page and than try to create route for it and use that line, it basicly crashes and says: Method does not exist

[detaaditya]

Thanks for the tutorial :)
So for a multi-level user system I just need to define middlewares for filtering users' role (e.g. "admin" middleware filters user in 'admin' role) and put it in the specified routes. Ahh never thought about that.. I usually filter roles in action methods in the controller, which makes my controllers fat and ugly :D
and I just realized that 'web' middleware group is actually mandatory for web routes.

User is not redirected to dashboard view after successful sign up. what could be the problem ?

[dushynatpatel]

Grate work Max really appreciate it. But I have one question about authentication. Why in this app are you not displaying an error message when logging authentication failed ? Thanks

Hey Guys, im using the newest version of Laravel (5.6.27) and i dont have the Authenticate.php file in my project tree. Maybe on the beggining it is optional and i have to create it somehow?

[NagatoKamiPain]

what is the difference when you use inside route.php 'as' and '->name()'

[ShahidFoy]

for people using laravel 5.3 instead of trying to find the authenticate.php file go into app/Exceptions/Handler.php

once there scroll to the bottom and edit the bottom part into this

protected function unauthenticated($request, AuthenticationException $exception)
{
if ($request->expectsJson()) {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthenticated.'], 401);
}

return redirect()->route('home');
}



also make sure your using web.php for routes instead of routes.php for laravel 5.3

[anthonydalechua]

Hmmm. I'm having a problem here. I followed your step exactly but when I added the 'middleware' => 'auth' I keep on getting redirected when I logged in - before it was working.

[michaelquaynor]

i can't protect my routes because am using laravel 5.3
i used the ''auth 'middleware in the Exceptions/Handle.php buh still not working
please help me

[ahmedqayyum]

I have followed your steps. When I go for a signup, data got inserted in the database successfully, but it is not redirecting me to the Dashboard View. Will you please help me out? +Mindspace
