Laravel intended always returns email/verify-CodePudding

I'm using Laravel 7.4, and I want to redirect the users to the page they came from after the login. I edited the file RedirectIfAuthenticated and added the redirect like:

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

But the problem is, it always redirected me to home. When I actually logged what the intended function returns, it always returns the url as website.com/email/verify. I'm 100% sure I don't redirect the users to that url, because I am logging in with an already verified user.

It might be some FW setup that I failed to notice, since I took over this project from another developer. I'll provide any more info if needed.

CodePudding user response：

Check for middleware maybe you are redirecting unverified users to email/verify

Then in your LoginController create a protected function redirectTo() and return url()->previous();

Your code will look like this

    protected function redirectTo()
    {
        return url()->previous();
    }

Or Also you can add $this->redirectTo = url()->previous() to your constructor like this

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->redirectTo = url()->previous();
        $this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
    }

Hope this helps

CodePudding user response：

If you dump dd(session()->all()) of a so-called "intended" page, you will see the following:

As you can see, Laravel store user's previously intended page at url['intended'] array element. So to imitate this behavior manually, you have to set this value manually where needed. In this case it's LoginController:

public function showLoginForm()
{
    session()->put('url.intended', url()->previous());
    return view('admin.auth.login');
}

Now the original location has been stored, and later when the user log in, they will be redirected as declared in RedirectIfAuthenticated@handle:

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

But what if the user went to the /login page intentionally, or simply put, what if they refresh the page? url.intended will have the value of route('login'), then when user logged in, they will be redirected to login page and the infinite loop continues.

In that case, url.intended should not have any value. RouteServiceProvider::HOME value will be used as destination. There must be additional condition for that, let's say your site have login route named login:

public function showLoginForm()
{
    if (($url()->previous() != route('login')) {
        session()->put('url.intended', url()->previous());
    }        
    return view('admin.auth.login');
}
