How to change Laravel 5.2 change login route?

Question

Hello I am using Laravel 5.2 version. I installed the laravel project via composer. After that I use command "php artisan make:auth" for create auth. After created auth route is generated for example "http://localhost:8000/login". Now I don't want this route I want to set different route for example "http://localhost:8000/super/admin". So How can I change the "http://localhost:8000/login" to "http://localhost:8000/super/admin". And when auth generated that time /register route is create so that route i want to remove "http://localhost:8000/register" route. Please suggest me how to do this. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Follow these simple steps

If you have Route::auth() in your routes.php, then please remove that line.

Now add the following lines to your routes.php

Route::get('super/admin', 'Auth\AuthController@getLogin')->name('auth.login.get');
Route::post('super/admin', 'Auth\AuthController@postLogin')->name('auth.login.post');
Route::get('super/admin/logout', 'Auth\AuthController@getLogout')->name('auth.logout.get');

Then go to login.blade.php (most probably in resources->views->auth)

And change the form action to {{ route('auth.login.post') }}, like this...

<form action="{{ route('auth.login.post') }}" method="post">

Hope this answers everything :)

In App\Http\Controllers\Auth\LoginController - define a fuction named showLoginForm() as:

public function showLoginForm()
{
    $view = property_exists($this, 'loginView')
        ? $this->loginView : 'auth.authenticate';

    if (view()->exists($view)) {
        return view($view);
    }
    return view('auth.login');
}

It overrides the function showLoginForm defined in the trait Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers.

Note: In Laravel 5.3 the function name is changed from getLogin to showLoginForm. For details goto Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers.
