Step 3: Create Route

In this step, we need to create a custom route for login, register, home, and logout. so open your routes/web.php file and add the following route.

routes/web.php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\AuthController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
  
Route::get('login', [AuthController::class, 'index'])->name('login');
Route::post('post-login', [AuthController::class, 'postLogin'])->name('login.post'); 
Route::get('registration', [AuthController::class, 'registration'])->name('register');
Route::post('post-registration', [AuthController::class, 'postRegistration'])->name('register.post'); 
Route::get('dashboard', [AuthController::class, 'dashboard']); 
Route::get('logout', [AuthController::class, 'logout'])->name('logout');

Step 4: Create Controller

in this step, we need to create AuthController and add the following code to that file:

app/Http/Controllers/Auth/AuthController.php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Session;
use App\Models\User;
use Hash;
  
class AuthController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return view('auth.login');
    }  
      
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function registration()
    {
        return view('auth.registration');
    }
      
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function postLogin(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'email' => 'required',
            'password' => 'required',
        ]);
   
        $credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');
        if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
            return redirect()->intended('dashboard')
                        ->withSuccess('You have Successfully loggedin');
        }
  
        return redirect("login")->withSuccess('Oppes! You have entered invalid credentials');
    }
      
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function postRegistration(Request $request)
    {  
        $request->validate([
            'name' => 'required',
            'email' => 'required|email|unique:users',
            'password' => 'required|min:6',
        ]);
           
        $data = $request->all();
        $check = $this->create($data);
         
        return redirect("dashboard")->withSuccess('Great! You have Successfully loggedin');
    }
    
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function dashboard()
    {
        if(Auth::check()){
            return view('dashboard');
        }
  
        return redirect("login")->withSuccess('Opps! You do not have access');
    }
    
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function create(array $data)
    {
      return User::create([
        'name' => $data['name'],
        'email' => $data['email'],
        'password' => Hash::make($data['password'])
      ]);
    }
    
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function logout() {
        Session::flush();
        Auth::logout();
  
        return Redirect('login');
    }
}

Step 5: Create Blade Files

Now, we need to create blade files for layout, login, register, and home page. so let's create one by one file:

resources/views/auth/login.blade.php

resources/views/auth/registration.blade.php

resources/views/dashboard.blade.php

resources/views/layout.blade.php
