• Open UsersTableSeeder and add the following inside run method :
  • DB::table('users')->insert([

Create a view file for Login

• Create resources/views/auth/login.blade.php

Create another file where the login will be landing

• Create resources/views/admin/index.blade.php

Modify Login Controller

• Paste the code of LoginController to your app/HTTP/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php

Controller for login landing page

• There is already a default controller named "HomeController". We will use that.

  • return $request->expectsJson() ? response()->json(['message' => $exception->getMessage()], 401) : redirect('/');
  • }
