In Laravel 8, authentication and authorization are managed using the built-in authentication system called Laravel Jetstream. However, it is possible to create a custom authentication and authorization system to suit your specific needs.
Here are the steps to create custom authentication and authorization in Laravel 8:
The first step is to create a new middleware that will handle the authentication and authorization logic. You can create a middleware using the make:middleware Artisan command:
php artisan make:middleware CustomAuth
This command will create a new file called CustomAuth.php
in the app/Http/Middleware
directory.
Next, you need to implement the authentication and authorization logic in the middleware. In this example, we'll use a simple authentication logic based on a user's email and password.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
class CustomAuth
{
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');
if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
return $next($request);
}
return response('Unauthorized.', 401);
}
}
This middleware will check the user's email and password against the database using the Auth::attempt
method. If the authentication is successful, the middleware will allow the request to pass through to the next middleware in the stack. Otherwise, it will return a 401 Unauthorized response.
Once you've implemented the middleware, you need to register it in the app/Http/Kernel.php
file. Add the following line to the $routeMiddleware
array:
'custom.auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\CustomAuth::class,
Finally, you can apply the middleware to routes or groups of routes using the middleware method:
Route::get('/dashboard', function () {
// Only authenticated users can access this route
})->middleware('custom.auth');
You can also apply the middleware to a controller by adding the following line to the constructor:
$this->middleware('custom.auth');
That's it! You've now created a custom authentication and authorization system in Laravel 8. Of course, this is just a simple example, and you'll likely want to modify the middleware logic to suit your specific needs.
