Laravel Middleware is used to filter HTTP requests in your web application. One of the basic requirements of any web application is an HTTP requests filter, so we have to make one as well for example make auth middleware. auth middleware always checks if you are going then and then you can access those pages. in short term filter HTTP requests.
Step 1: Install Laravel
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app
Step 2: Create Middleware
php artisan make:middleware IsActive
app/Http/Middleware/IsActive.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
class IsActive
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response) $next
*/
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next): Response
{
if (!auth()->user()->is_active) {
return response()->json('Your account is inactive');
}
return $next($request);
}
}
Step 3: Register Middleware
app/Http/Kernel.php
<?php
namespace App\Http;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Kernel as HttpKernel;
class Kernel extends HttpKernel
{
....
/**
* The application's route middleware.
*
* These middleware may be assigned to groups or used individually.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $routeMiddleware = [
....
'is-active' => \App\Http\Middleware\IsActive::class,
];
}
Step 4: Use Middleware
routes/web.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\RSSFeedController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
Route::get('/test-user', [App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class, 'index'])->middleware(['auth', 'is-active']);
Step 5: Create Auth Scaffolding
composer require laravel/ui
Here, we need to generate auth scaffolding in laravel 10 using laravel ui command. so, let's generate it by bellow command:
php artisan ui bootstrap --auth
Now you need to run npm command, otherwise you can not see better layout of login and register page.
Install NPM:
npm install
Run NPM:
npm run dev
Step 6: Add Column
we will create new migration to add is_active column
php artisan make:migration add_is_active_column
database/migrations/add_is_active_column.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
return new class extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up(): void
{
Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->boolean('is_active')->default(0);
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down(): void
{
}
};
Run migration using below command:
php artisan migrate
update is_active column fillable property in model
app/Models/User.php
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'email',
'password',
'is_active'
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for serialization.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password',
'remember_token',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be cast.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
}
Step 7: Create Seeder
php artisan make:seeder UserSeeder
Register UserSeeder in DatabaseSeeder.php
<?php
namespace Database\Seeders;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Seed the application's database.
*
* @return void
*/
public function run()
{
$this->call(UserSeeder::class);
}
}
For Creating Record add below code in UserSeeder:
database/seeders/UserSeeder.php
<?php
namespace Database\Seeders;
use Illuminate\Database\Console\Seeds\WithoutModelEvents;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
class UserSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Run the database seeds.
*
* @return void
*/
public function run(): void
{
User::create([
"name" => "One",
"email" => "one@gmail.com",
"password" => Hash::make("123456"),
"is_active" => 1
]);
User::create([
"name" => "Two",
"email" => "two@gmail.com",
"password" => Hash::make("123456"),
"is_active" => 0
]);
}
}
Run the Seeder,
php artisan db:seed --class=UserSeeder
Run Laravel App:
php artisan serve
Now, Go to web browser, type the given URL and see the output:
http://localhost:8000/login
login credentials with InActive User:
Email: two@gmail.com
Password: 123456
After login you have to go to the following URL:
http://localhost:8000/test-user
