Lecture Notes: Creating Multi-user Login System in Laravel Using Breeze

Introduction

• Presenter: Yamin
• Objective: Develop a multi-user login system (MULO) using Laravel and Breeze.
• Concept: MULO allows both admin and users to login, redirecting them to different dashboards.

Initial Setup

Create Laravel Project

• Open Command Prompt (CMD) and navigate to the desired location.
• Run the command: composer create-project laravel/laravel project-name (e.g., multi).
• Verify project creation.

Run Laravel Project

• Open CMD in the project directory.
• Run: php artisan serve to start the server.
• Access the project via browser.

Database Configuration

Set Up Database

• Open your code editor (e.g., Sublime Text, VS Code).
• Edit .env file:
  • Set DB_CONNECTION to mysql.
  • Define DB_DATABASE as multi.
• Use a tool like phpMyAdmin to create the database multi.

Install Laravel Breeze

Installation Steps

• In CMD, run: composer require laravel/breeze --dev.
• Install Breeze: php artisan breeze:install.
• Select options (e.g., Blade for templates, enable PHPUnit).
• Run: npm install and npm run build.

Modify User Table

Migration Changes

• In the migrations folder, modify the user table to include a user_type column with default user.
• Execute migration: php artisan migrate.

User Registration and Role Assignment

Register Users

• Register users via the Laravel registration form (e.g., user, admin).
• Manually change user_type in database for roles (e.g., admin).

Create Routes and Controllers

Admin Routing

• Create HomeController using CMD: php artisan make:controller HomeController.
• Define routes in web.php for admin dashboard.
• Add logic to HomeController to return appropriate views.

Login Functionality

Authenticate Users

• Modify AuthenticatedSessionController.php:
  • Add condition to redirect admin to admin dashboard.
  • Fallback for regular users to user dashboard.

Middleware for Access Control

Protect Admin Dashboard

• Create middleware via CMD: php artisan make:middleware Admin.
• Define access logic to restrict users without admin role.
• Register middleware in bootstrap/app.php.
• Apply middleware to routes.

Finalize Setup

• Test login and redirection for both user types.
• Ensure unauthorized users cannot access restricted pages.

Conclusion

• Successfully implemented MULO using Laravel Breeze.
• Extended possibilities for multiple user roles.
• For additional user types (e.g., manager), create additional middleware.

Tips: Keep practicing and exploring further Laravel features for more robust applications.
