php - Laravel 5.4 redirection to custom url after login

Question

I am using Laravel Framework 5.4.10, and I am using the regular authentication that

php artisan make:auth

provides. I want to protect the entire app, and to redirect users to /themes after login.

I have 4 controllers: ForgotPasswordController.php, LoginController.php, RegisterController.php and ResetPasswordController.php. I have edited this line into the last three:

protected $redirectTo = '/themes';

This is the first line in my routes/web.php:

Auth::routes();

I have added this function in my Controller.php:

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');

    }

I have edited app/Http/Middleware/RedirectIfAuthenticated.php, so that the handle function looks like this:

public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)
{
    if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
        return redirect('/themes');
    }

    return $next($request);
}

It's all fine, except when I click the Login button, I get redirected to "/", not "/themes". If I don't require authentication in the controllers (no __contruct function in Controller.php file), I get redirected OK at login. What am I doing wrong?

That's what i am currrently working, what a coincidence.

You also need to add the following lines into your LoginController

namespace AppHttpControllersAuth;

use AppHttpControllersController;

use IlluminateFoundationAuthAuthenticatesUsers;

use IlluminateHttpRequest;

class LoginController extends Controller
{
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Login Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller handles authenticating users for the application and
| redirecting them to your home screen. The controller uses a trait
| to conveniently provide its functionality to your applications.
|
*/

use AuthenticatesUsers;


protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
{
if ( $user->isAdmin() ) {// do your magic here
    return redirect()->route('dashboard');
}

 return redirect('/home');
}
/**
 * Where to redirect users after login.
 *
 * @var string
 */
//protected $redirectTo = '/admin';

/**
 * Create a new controller instance.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'logout']);
}
}
