I have created this login function it returns login success when entering the correct user name and password
JavaScript
x
public function login(Request $request){
if(Auth::user()){
return response()->json(['success'=>'already lodged.',200]);
}else{
$this->validate($request,[
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required|alphaNum|min:6'
]);
$user_data = array(
'email' => $request->get('email'),
'password' => $request->get('password')
);
if(Auth::attempt($user_data)){
return response()->json(['success'=>'login success.',401]);
}else{
return response()->json(['error'=>'Unauthenticated.',401]);
}
}
}
I have to define route like this in route/api.php
JavaScript
Route::group(['prefix' => 'web'],function (){
Route::get('/reg',function (){
return view('pages.temp.register');
});
Route::get('/login',function (){
return view('pages.temp.login');
})->name('login');
});
Route::get('/userdashboard', 'UserController@index')->middleware('auth');
Route::get('/user/{id}', 'UserController@show')->middleware('auth');
but when I call Auth::user() in another controller or another view it returns null what is wrong with it

Answer
I have fixed this error. I have created an authentication route in route/api.php. API route not supported to the session so it does not store user data in the session because that Auth::user() always returns null. please view this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/44863089/13729121
