How to check user activeness (from database) before login in Laravel - mysql

Question

In my application, there is a 'status' column in the 'users' table. Which indicates the user activeness. Now I want to check the activeness of the user before login to the system and give a message if he is deactivated. How to do this? There are several answers here, but I cannot make this work with the help of those answers.
This is my LoginController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
class LoginController extends Controller
{
use AuthenticatesUsers;
/**
* Where to redirect users after login.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $redirectTo = '/dashboard';
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
}
}

Answer 1

Create a middleware class to check the status column. For example:
<?php namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
class CheckStatusMiddleware {
/**
* Run the request filter.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$user = User::where('email', $request->input('email'))->firstOrFail();
if (!$user->active)
{
return redirect('home');
}
return $next($request);
}
}
Then register the class and apply it to the necessary route(s).
See Middleware for more information.

You can use authenticated() method.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException;
class LoginController extends Controller
{
use AuthenticatesUsers;
/**
* Where to redirect users after login.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $redirectTo = '/dashboard';
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
}
/**
* The user has been authenticated.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param mixed $user
* #return mixed
*/
protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
{
// Check status
if ($user->status == 'inactive') {
$this->logout($request);
// Send message
throw ValidationException::withMessages([
$this->username() => [__('Your status is inactive')],
]);
}
}
}
