Laravel Multi-Level Authentication

In this tutorial I will explain how create separate user and admin panel authentication.

Must watch this video to learn the practical application of this tutorial.

Installation

Create a laravel project

composer create-project laravel/laravel=9.1 example-app

Install laravel breeze package

composer require laravel/breeze=1.9 --dev
php artisan breeze:install
npm install
npm run dev

Create a database and update .env file with your database credentials and then run migration

php artisan migrate

Create Admin Panel

Create a modal for admin

php artisan make:model Admin -m

Copy users columns to admin migration file
Copy all text from User model to Admin model and set the class name Admin

Create all necessary routes for admin authentication

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Admin Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
*/

Route::get('/admin/login', [AuthenticatedSessionController::class, 'create'])->name('admin.login')->middleware('guest:admin');

Route::post('/admin/login/store', [AuthenticatedSessionController::class, 'store'])->name('admin.login.store');

Route::group(['middleware' => 'admin'], function() {

    Route::get('/admin', [HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('admin.dashboard');

    Route::post('/admin/logout', [AuthenticatedSessionController::class, 'destroy'])->name('admin.logout');

});

create Admin folder on controller
controller => Admin => Auth => copy AuthenticatedSessionController.php from user Auth

AuthenticatedSessionController.php =>

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin\Auth;
use App\Http\Requests\Auth\AdminLoginRequest;

public function create()
{
    return view('admin.auth.login');
}

public function store(AdminLoginRequest $request)
{
    $request->authenticate();

    $request->session()->regenerate();

    return redirect()->intended(RouteServiceProvider::ADMIN_HOME);

}
public function destroy(Request $request)
{
    Auth::guard('admin')->logout();

    $request->session()->invalidate();

    $request->session()->regenerateToken();

    return redirect('/');

}

go to RouteServiceProvider and do it:

public const HOME = '/dashboard';
public const ADMIN_HOME = '/admin';

create admin folder on views, create auth folder on admin and copy-paste login view from user > auth

You can specify the admin login page

<x-slot name="logo">
    <a href="/">
    <x-application-logo class="w-20 h-20 fill-current text-gray-500" />
    </a>
    Admin Login
</x-slot>

to view login link paste it in welcome page anywhere

@auth('admin')
    <a href=" {{ route('admin.dashboard') }} ">Admin Dashboard</a>
@else
    <a href=" {{ route('admin.login') }} ">Admin Login</a>
@endauth

set action in admin login form

<form method="POST" action="{{ route('admin.login.store') }}">

Create a seed for admin

php artisan make:seeder AdminSeeder

AdminSeeder.php =>

use App\Models\Admin;

public function run()
{
    $admin = [
        'name' => 'Mamunur Rashid Mamun',
        'email' => 'admin@example.com',
        'password' => bcrypt('12345678')
    ];
    Admin::create($admin);
}

go to DatabaseSeeder.php and do it:

public function run()
{
    $this->call([
        AdminSeeder::class,
    ]);
}

seed the database
```
php artisan db:seed
```

Creating guard:

go to Admin model and do it:

  use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;
  protected $guard = 'admin';

go to config => auth.php =>

'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,
    ],
],

go to middleware => RedirectIfAuthenticated.php =>

public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next, ...$guards)
{
    $guards = empty($guards) ? [null] : $guards;

    foreach ($guards as $guard) {
        if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {

            if($guard == 'admin') {
                return redirect(RouteServiceProvider::ADMIN_HOME);
            }
            return redirect(RouteServiceProvider::HOME);
        }
    }

    return $next($request);
}

App => Http => Request => Auth => LoginRequest.php > duplicate and set name AdminLoginRequest.php > change the classname to AdminLoginRequest >

public function authenticate()
{
    $this->ensureIsNotRateLimited();

    if (! Auth::guard('admin')->attempt($this->only('email', 'password'), $this->boolean('remember'))) {
        RateLimiter::hit($this->throttleKey());

        throw ValidationException::withMessages([
            'email' => trans('auth.failed'),
        ]);
    }

    RateLimiter::clear($this->throttleKey());
}

create admin dashboard by duplicating user dashboard

create HomeController

php artisan make:controller Admin/HomeController

HomeController.php =>

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    public function index() {
        return view('admin.dashboard');
    }
}

copy user layout view folder to admin
App => view => components => duplicate AppLayout.php to AdminLayout.php and change class name to AdminLayout
```
public function render()
{
    return view('admin.layouts.app');
}
```
change layouts file view from user to admin

Create middleware for admin

  php artisan make:middleware AdminMiddleware

AdminMiddleware.php =>

use Auth;
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
    if(!Auth::guard('admin')->check()) {
        return redirect()->route('admin.login');
    }
    return $next($request);
}

go to App => Http => Kernel =>

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    'admin' => \App\Http\Middleware\AdminMiddleware::class,
];
