Redirecting to Nova resource from Laravel login

[whiteDigitalAI]

Hello Guys,

Our requirement is to login to 4 different tables and redirect users to Nova dashboards according to the roles. The login controllers are in Laravel as Nova supports only single Auth(Table). We are trying this for the past two days, played around with middleware,routes, redirects etc. but no luck. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi @whiteDigitalAI

To solve the users redirect you should:

1. Add your own LoginController extending the base Nova LoginController overwritting the authenticated method:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class LoginController extends \Laravel\Nova\Http\Controllers\LoginController {
    /**
     * The user has been authenticated.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  mixed  $user
     * @return mixed
     */
    protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
    {
        // You're authenticated!
        return redirect('/');
    }
}

And bind this extension on NovaServiceProvider:

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Laravel\Nova\Http\Controllers\LoginController;

...

class NovaServiceProvider extends NovaApplicationServiceProvider {

    ...

    public function register()
    {
        $this->app->bind(LoginController::class, \App\Http\Controllers\LoginController::class);
    }
}

And to solve multiple authentication tables is other issue. The before code solve the redirecting.

Alternatively, just build the login flow as your project requires. We realize Nova's conventions may not work for everyone and expect there to be some customization from time to time.

I fixed it like this, in a component add the following and it works.

  router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
      if (to.name == 'dashboard.custom') {
          next({
              name: 'index',
              params: {
                  resourceName: 'orders'
              }
          })
      } else {
          next()
      }
  })

The clean solution for Nova 4 is here, I've not tested that on Nova 3 or below.

Inside NovaServiceProvider update the below method

public function register()
{
    \Laravel\Nova\Nova::$initialPath = '/resources/users'; //update it to any valid nova path
}

Happy coding :)
