Laravel - log out specific user

Question

I know how to log in a user, but how do I log out a specified user from the application? There doesn't seem to be enough coverage on this.

Answer 1

This problem occures when you are admin and want to block some user. Then when you block user you want to logout him imidietly. For laravel 5.2 (maby for lower versions too) you can create middelware:

Create middelware

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class BockedUser
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @param  string|null  $guard
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)
    {
        $user = Auth::user();
        if ($user and $user->is_bocked) {
            Auth::logout();
            return redirect('/login');
        }

        return $next($request);
    }
}

And in app/Http/Kernel.php in section $middlewareGroups > 'web' add \App\Http\Middleware\BockedUser::class. I assmue that all your routes are in Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () { .. all your routes ..}
