Overriding the Spark Controllers

This should help you out: https://michaelheap.com/customising-the-authcontroller-in-laravel-spark/

The basic idea is that you override the route and use your own controller which extends the spark controller. This way you can override the specific method and do your own action in there ;)

@bobbybouwmann thankyou for sharing this link. That could be one option but honestly, that is tiresome. When I do vendor: publish command I get this output

....
[18] Tag: spark-full
  [19] Tag: spark-js
  [20] Tag: spark-lang
  [21] Tag: spark-sass
  [22] Tag: spark-views
.....

I think Spark-full will publish everything in the respective directories if it does then whenever I need to change a specific function I will go to published file.

Will it publish all the controllers as well? I though the publish part was only for the assets!

@abudo The login controller just uses the AuthenticatesUsers trait under the hood, which has many points to hook in to the login process.

What specifically is it you’re wanting to do? As you shouldn’t need to override the controller itself.

@bobbybouwmann well even with spark-full option, i was only able to get assets publish :) so no controllers got published

@martinbean Actually I need to override the Spark Controller because I need to change how the subscription work. Consider this scenario: I have 5 Products that I want to sell on subscription. Spark makes it use as Plans, right. But spark allows me only to switch from one plan to another while I need to make a user subscribe to other products at the same. i.e The user has subscribed to 5 products at the same times instead of one. How can I achieve that? I need to change the functionality of controllers of the Spark, right? First, how can I override the Spark controllers and where to place those controllers so I can update Spark later in the future?

So like I said, you just need to register the route yourself and extend the SparkController ;)

@abudo It sounds like you want to use “quantities”, which Spark up to version 5 supports (see the “Team Events” heading on https://spark.laravel.com/docs/5.0/teams).

If you’re using Spark 6, then you can use “per seat” pricing where you actually charge per product rather than “seat”: https://spark.laravel.com/docs/6.0/billing#charging-per-seat (see “Custom Per Seat Targets” header).

You really shouldn’t need to change any of the PHP code in Spark.

@martinbean Quantity is something else. What I need is multiple subscriptions for a user as right now Spark allows only one subscription for a user. So I need to alter the Spark Controller

@abudo A billable entity (user or team) can have multiple subscriptions. You don’t need to alter Spark’s code.
