return view('auth.login');
It have to redirect you to the login page if you are not logged in. That is how the auth middleware works. Or what do you mean?

Route [login] not defined.
Hi guys, i used
php artisan make:auth
after that I removed everything and wrote my own stuff. I can add a user (register), delete and edit a user. I can log in and that works perfectly fine. The only problem I am facing now is that when I want to protect a route I get this error:
InvalidArgumentException Route [login] not defined.
I did this in my web.php file:
Route::middleware(['auth'])->group(function(){
Can someone help me out on how to fix this?
P.S. I have this in my controller:
return view('auth/login');
and in my folder I have this:
resources/views/auth/login.blade.php
so that shouldnt be a problem either is it?
EDIT: Got it working by adding "->name('login')" to it. But now it keeps redirecting me to the login for some reason when I try to go to a route within the group that i added "auth" to.

make name for your route
Route::get('/login', 'LoginController@method')->name('login');

Got a bit further... problem now is that while logging someone in I do this:
$credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');
Then on a other page when I print_r() my Auth:user() there is nothing there... how come there is nothing there?
Level 5
are you making sure you are using Auth in the controller?
example
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Auth;
also just as a quick note you can use the facade built in laravel and not use Auth
you can just do user() "from laravel 5.5 onwards i think?"
by the way dd is your best freind in laravel for debugging, if you want to find info use dd
example:
$user = user();
//this will die and print nicely the user data
dd($user);
Level 1
yeah just found out that on the page where I set the user, it exists. When I go to any other page it does not exist... very strange :/
No clue where to look now :(
Ill post my exact code tomorrow, maybe someone can help me out cause I am clueless at the moment.
Please or to participate in this conversation.
