Laravel - How to cancel redirecting to login when unauthorized-CodePudding

In my project, I using laravel as api

UserController > profile() need token to run

For example when I call it without token, laravel display error which "Route [login] not defined" and it's right because we don't have any template in laravel.

How can I return json response instead redirect to login page as html?

public function profile(): JsonResponse
{
    //using protected method
    return response()->json($this->guard()->user());
}

CodePudding user response：

So basically what you can do is you can create a customized Auth middleware which returns a JSON response. Or you can use a simple condition in your function:

  if (Auth::check()){
      //if logged in user exists
  } else {
      //if logged in user does not exist
  }

CodePudding user response：

You can make middleware manually and in the middleware you can check user if exists. For example, if you use JWT token, then you can write like that as app/Http/Middleware/Authenticate.php :

   public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)
    {

        /* Check is token filled */
        if (!Auth::check()) {
            return response()->json([
                'success' => false,
                'status' => 401,
                'message' => 'Bad authorization',
                'data' => []
            ], 401);

        }

        return $next($request);
    }

For route partion:

Route::group([
    'middleware' => 'auth'
], function () {
  Route::get('/profile', 'User@profile');
});

CodePudding user response：

Open Authenticate file app/Http/Middleware/Authenticate.php

add reference

use Closure;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

put this code:

public function handle($request, Closure $next, ...$guards)
{
    if (!Auth::guard('api')->check()) {
        return response()->json(['message' => 'Error Message!']);
    }

    return $next($request);
}
