Auth Guard in Laravel 10 , Make Model Authenticable in Laravel 10

08-Nov-2023

Hello Developes in this tutorial we will discuss about how you can make any table or any model authenticable using Auth::gaurd() .

S.no	Contents-topics
1	What is Auth::gaurd()
2	Creating Model & migration
3	Define model as authenticable
4	Define model in config/auth.php
5	Setting up login form
6	Authenticate with auth::guard

1:What is Auth::gaurd()

Auth::gaurd() is a beautiful feature based on OOPS provided by laravel which provide us to make any database table or any model autheticable property similar to User model , for eg working on big projects like multi-vendor E-Commerce where we have different roles of a user (admin , seller , customer) and different table as well , so there to provide autheticable property to seller similar to our user model Laravel provide us Auth::gaurd().

2:Creating Model & Migration

We are considering an example of Seller user as table in database , so firstly we start by creating model and migration of Seller.
Code for model:Copy

php artisan make:model Seller -m

This will create a model app\Models\Seller.php and a migration file in database/migrations , now we will migrate our migration and then we setup our Seller model
code for migration : Copy

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

return new class extends Migration

{

/**

* Run the migrations.

public function up(): void

{

Schema::create('sellers', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->id();

$table->String('name')->nullable();

$table->String('email')->unique();

$table->String('password')->nullable();

$table->String('mobile')->nullable();

$table->timestamps();

});

}

/**

* Reverse the migrations.

public function down(): void

{

Schema::dropIfExists('sellers');

}

};

Now run the migration
migrate:Copy

php artisan migrate

3:Define model as authenticable

After migration we will move towards our model to provide same properties as the User model in app/Models/Seller.php model , so in seller model we are providing Authenticatable property and Notifiable is optional to add.
code for Seller model :Copy

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

class seller extends Authenticatable

{

use Notifiable;

use HasFactory;

protected $guard = 'seller';

protected $hidden = [

'password',

];

protected $fillable = [

'name','mobile', 'email', 'password'

];

}

4:Define model in config/auth.php

Now here is the main code comes where we define our Seller model as auth::guard() in config/auth.php , so basically in this auth.php we provide all our authenticable models or database table here.
code for config.auth.php: Copy

<?php

return [

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Authentication Defaults

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| This option controls the default authentication "guard" and password

| reset options for your application. You may change these defaults

| as required, but they're a perfect start for most applications.

'defaults' => [

'guard' => 'web',

'passwords' => 'users',

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Authentication Guards

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Next, you may define every authentication guard for your application.

| Of course, a great default configuration has been defined for you

| here which uses session storage and the Eloquent user provider.

| All authentication drivers have a user provider. This defines how the

| users are actually retrieved out of your database or other storage

| mechanisms used by this application to persist your user's data.

| Supported: "session"

'guards' => [

'web' => [

'driver' => 'session',

'provider' => 'users',

'seller' => [

'driver' => 'session',

'provider' => 'sellers',

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| User Providers

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| All authentication drivers have a user provider. This defines how the

| users are actually retrieved out of your database or other storage

| mechanisms used by this application to persist your user's data.

| If you have multiple user tables or models you may configure multiple

| sources which represent each model / table. These sources may then

| be assigned to any extra authentication guards you have defined.

| Supported: "database", "eloquent"

'providers' => [

'users' => [

'driver' => 'eloquent',

'model' => App\Models\User::class,

'sellers' => [

'driver' => 'eloquent',

'model' => App\Models\seller::class,

// 'users' => [

// 'driver' => 'database',

// 'table' => 'users',

// ],

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Resetting Passwords

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| You may specify multiple password reset configurations if you have more

| than one user table or model in the application and you want to have

| separate password reset settings based on the specific user types.

| The expiry time is the number of minutes that each reset token will be

| considered valid. This security feature keeps tokens short-lived so

| they have less time to be guessed. You may change this as needed.

| The throttle setting is the number of seconds a user must wait before

| generating more password reset tokens. This prevents the user from

| quickly generating a very large amount of password reset tokens.

'passwords' => [

'users' => [

'provider' => 'users',

'table' => 'password_reset_tokens',

'expire' => 60,

'throttle' => 60,

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Password Confirmation Timeout

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Here you may define the amount of seconds before a password confirmation

| times out and the user is prompted to re-enter their password via the

| confirmation screen. By default, the timeout lasts for three hours.

'password_timeout' => 10800,

];

5:Setting up login form

For checking our user authentication we will check with simple login form

code for web.php Copy

<?php

use App\Http\Controllers\ManageUserController;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Web Routes

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These

| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider and all of them will

| be assigned to the "web" middleware group. Make something great!

Route::get('createUser', [ManageUserController::class, 'createUser']);

Route::get('checkUser', function () {

return view('checkUser');

});

Route::post('checkLoginUser', [ManageUserController::class, 'checkLoginUser']);

code for chekUser.blade.php Copy

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Login Form</title>

</head>

<body>

<h2>Login Form</h2>

@csrf

<label for="email">Email:</label>

</div>

<label for="pwd">Password:</label>

</div>

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>

</form>

</div>

</body>

</html>

code for controller Copy

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\seller;

use App\Models\User;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Traits\SaveFile;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;

use Validator;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class ManageUserController extends Controller

{

function createUser()

{

$user = new User();

$user->name = 'developer-corner';

$user->email = 'user1224@gmail.com';

$user->password = Hash::make('developer@123');

$user->save();

$user = new seller();

$user->name = 'developer-corner';

$user->email = 'seller1224@gmail.com';

$user->password = Hash::make('developer@123');

$user->save();

}

public function checkLoginUser(Request $request)

{

$validation = Validator::make($request->all(), [

'email' => 'required|string|email',

'password' => 'required|string|min:6',

]);

if ($validation->fails()) {

print($validation->errors()->first()); die();

}else{

$credentials = array('email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password);

// $user = User::where('id_no', $idNo)->first();

if (Auth::attempt($credentials, false)) {

echo"<pre>";print('This is User');die();

} elseif(Auth::guard('seller')->attempt($credentials, false)) {

echo"<pre>";print('This is Seller');die();

}else{

echo"<pre>";print('Invalid User');die();

}

As shown in Controller we are first creating our User and Seller with createUser() function and then we check if user exist in users table or sellers table.

6:Authenticate with Auth::guard()

To autheticate Seller Auth::guard('seller')->attempt($credentials, false) whcih validate the credentials that we have send to the controller function and to check if Seller user if login or autheticate we simply use
Auth::guard code :Copy

Auth::guard('seller')->user()
