Laravel Mein Multi Authentication Setup Kaise Karein

🔧 Prerequisites

• Basic knowledge of Laravel

• Composer installed

• Laravel installed

---

1. Laravel Project Setup

bash

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel multi_auth
cd multi_auth

---

2. Authentication Scaffolding Install Karein (Using Breeze)

bash

composer require laravel/breeze --dev
php artisan breeze:install
npm install && npm run dev
php artisan migrate

---

3. Admin aur Branch Guards Setup Karein

3.1 Admin Model Banayein

bash

php artisan make:model Admin -m

Admin migration update karein:

php

Schema::create('admins', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('email')->unique();
    $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
    $table->string('password');
    $table->rememberToken();
    $table->timestamps();
});

---

3.2 Branch Model Banayein

bash

php artisan make:model Branch -m

Branch migration:

php
Schema::create('branches', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('email')->unique();
    $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
    $table->string('password');
    $table->rememberToken();
    $table->timestamps();
});

Run migration:

bash

php artisan migrate

---

3.3 Update Auth Configuration (config/auth.php)

php

'guards' => [
    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],
    'admin' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'admins',
    ],
    'branch' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'branches',
    ],
],

'providers' => [
    'users' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => App\Models\User::class,
    ],
    'admins' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => App\Models\Admin::class,
    ],
    'branches' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => App\Models\Branch::class,
    ],
],

---

3.4 Admin Middleware

bash

php artisan make:middleware AdminMiddleware

Update AdminMiddleware:

php

public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
    if (!Auth::guard('admin')->check()) {
        return redirect('/admin/login');
    }

    return $next($request);
}

Register in Kernel.php:

php

'admin' => \App\Http\Middleware\AdminMiddleware::class,

---

3.5 Branch Middleware

bash

php artisan make:middleware BranchMiddleware

Update BranchMiddleware:

php

public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
    if (!Auth::guard('branch')->check()) {
        return redirect('/branch/login');
    }

    return $next($request);
}

Register in Kernel.php:

php

'branch' => \App\Http\Middleware\BranchMiddleware::class,

---

4. Authentication Routes aur Controllers Setup

4.1 Routes in web.php

php

use App\Http\Controllers\AdminAuthController;
use App\Http\Controllers\BranchAuthController;

Route::prefix('admin')->group(function () {
    Route::get('login', [AdminAuthController::class, 'showLoginForm'])->name('admin.login');
    Route::post('login', [AdminAuthController::class, 'login'])->name('admin.login.submit');
    Route::post('logout', [AdminAuthController::class, 'logout'])->name('admin.logout');
    Route::middleware('admin')->group(function () {
        Route::get('dashboard', [AdminAuthController::class, 'dashboard'])->name('admin.dashboard');
    });
});

Route::prefix('branch')->group(function () {
    Route::get('login', [BranchAuthController::class, 'showLoginForm'])->name('branch.login');
    Route::post('login', [BranchAuthController::class, 'login'])->name('branch.login.submit');
    Route::post('logout', [BranchAuthController::class, 'logout'])->name('branch.logout');
    Route::middleware('branch')->group(function () {
        Route::get('dashboard', [BranchAuthController::class, 'dashboard'])->name('branch.dashboard');
    });
});

---

4.2 AdminAuthController

bash

php artisan make:controller AdminAuthController

php

public function showLoginForm()
{
    return view('admin.login');
}

public function login(Request $request)
{
    $credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');

    if (Auth::guard('admin')->attempt($credentials)) {
        return redirect()->intended(route('admin.dashboard'));
    }

    return back()->withErrors(['email' => 'Credentials do not match.']);
}

public function logout()
{
    Auth::guard('admin')->logout();
    return redirect()->route('admin.login');
}

public function dashboard()
{
    return view('admin.dashboard');
}

---

4.3 BranchAuthController

bash

php artisan make:controller BranchAuthController

php
public function showLoginForm()
{
    return view('branch.login');
}

public function login(Request $request)
{
    $credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');

    if (Auth::guard('branch')->attempt($credentials)) {
        return redirect()->intended(route('branch.dashboard'));
    }

    return back()->withErrors(['email' => 'Credentials do not match.']);
}

public function logout()
{
    Auth::guard('branch')->logout();
    return redirect()->route('branch.login');
}

public function dashboard()
{
    return view('branch.dashboard');
}

✅ Conclusion

Aaj humne dekha kaise Laravel mein multi-authentication setup kiya ja sakta hai jisme multiple user roles (Admin aur Branch) use ho rahe hain. Aap is setup ko aur enhance kar sakte ho by:

• Role-based access control (RBAC)

• Email verification

• Profile management
