laravel sentry redirect::intended not working

Question

I\'m trying to get the sentry package set up in my app correctly.

I can log a user in and out and protect routes but I can\'t seem to get the redirect::intended

Answer 1

The easiest way.

In your Auth filter use the following:

Route::filter('sentryAuth', function()
{
    if ( ! Sentry::check()) 
    {     
        return Redirect::guest(route('login'));
    }
});

In your controller:

public function postAuthenticate()
{
    try {
          $credentials = array(
            'email' => Input::get('email'),
            'password' => Input::get('password')
          );

         $user = Sentry::authenticate($credentials, false);
     } catch () {
        // validation errors
     }

    //firstly, Laravel will try to redirect intended page. 
    //if nothing saved in session, it will redirect to home. 
    //you can use any route instead of home.

     return Redirect::intended(route('home'));
}

Done.

Outside of Sentry:

This code can be used with any type of authentication library. You need two things to implement intended redirection:

1.in your auth filter:

    Route::filter('auth', function()
    {
      if ( ! Sentry::check()) 
          {
            return Redirect::guest(route('login'));
          }
    });

2.After logged in an user:

//firstly, Laravel will try to redirect intended page. 
//if nothing saved in session, it will redirect to home. 
//you can use any url instead of '/'

return Redirect::intended('/');
