laravel redirect if logged in

Question

i am using laravel 5.1.8. i am making a login/registration system. i made a controller named AdminController and protect it with middleware.

but i am using laravel's default AuthController which methods and classes are located in different locations. where routes are:

Route::Controllers([
    'auth' => 'Auth\AuthController',
    'password' => 'Auth\PasswordController'
]);

get('admin', 'AdminController@index');
get('profile', 'AdminController@profile');
get('article', 'AdminController@article');

users cannot access AdminController without logging in. its redirected to login page. but i want, if a logged in user typed the address of login page or registration on the address bar of browser, the page will redirected to AdminController.

when i try to do this, it looking for '/home' and gives errors. i want to make it '/admin'.

Answer 1

go to App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated then change it from

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
    if ($this->auth->check()) {
        return redirect('/home');
    }

    return $next($request);
}

to

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
    if ($this->auth->check()) {
        return redirect('/admin');
    }

    return $next($request);
}
