login event handling in laravel 5

seemed to have come up with my own answer after some collaboration on stackoverflow

after working with both proposed answers, and some more research i finally figured out how to do this the way i was trying at first.

i ran the following artisan command

$ php artisan handler:event AuthLoginEventHandler

Then i altered the generated class removing the import of the Event class and and imported the user model. I also passed User $user and $remember to the handle method since when the auth.login event is fired, thats what is passed.

<?php namespace App\Handlers\Events;

use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldBeQueued;
use App\User;

class AuthLoginEventHandler {

    /**
     * Create the event handler.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Handle the event.
     *
     * @param  User $user
     * @param  $remember
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle(User $user, $remember)
    {
        dd("login fired and handled by class with User instance and remember variable");
    }

}

now i opened EventServiceProvided.php and modified the $listen array as follows:

protected $listen = [
    'auth.login' => [
        'App\Handlers\Events\AuthLoginEventHandler',
    ],
];

i realized if this doesn't work at first, you may need to

$ php artiasn clear-compiled

There we go! we can now respond to the user logging in via the auth.login event using an event handler class!

Thanks! I was wondering how to do that.

I'm not sure that event handler object is always the best choice to listen events. Most of time this handler call another class. I still use L4 listen events style :

protected $listen = [
    'auth.login' => ['App\Services\Statut@setLoginStatut'],
    'auth.logout' => ['App\Services\Statut@setVisitorStatut'],
];

In this case I have a Statut class that manage user status for login and logout with 2 methods and I can get user as parameter.

@erikbelusic , excuse me but in the way you reply the question, How do you get the last_login_ip?

@pakogn - its been a while but i think you can use the request facade in your event handler

Request::getClientIp()

If you are looking for 5.2 + events here they are. https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/authentication#events

'Illuminate\Auth\Events\Attempting' => [
        'App\Listeners\LogAuthenticationAttempt',
    ],

    'Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login' => [
        'App\Listeners\LogSuccessfulLogin',
    ],

    'Illuminate\Auth\Events\Logout' => [
        'App\Listeners\LogSuccessfulLogout',
    ],

    'Illuminate\Auth\Events\Lockout' => [
        'App\Listeners\LogLockout',
    ],

Hi, Im trying to do the same thing in L5.4, but I can't get your first / simpler option to work, do you have any ideas?

    public function boot() {
        parent::boot();
        
        Event::listen('auth.login', function() {
            dd("it worked");
            //Auth::user()->last_login = new DateTime;
            //Auth::user()->last_login_ip = Request::getClientIp();
            //Auth::user()->save();
        });
    } ```

Appreciate any help you can give me , thanks

@nam_co Im probably a little late, but for others. If you want to add the Event::listen in the boot() method you have to change the listener from "auth.login" to "Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login"

public function boot()
{
    parent::boot();

    Event::listen('Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login', function() {
        dd("it worked");
    });
}
