What happened to Laravel's redirectTo() method?

Question

We can override this property to redirect users after login in LoginController:

protected $redirectTo = \'/home\';

And here is the statement fr

Answer 1

This is the redirectPath() method in src/Illuminate/Foundation/Auth/RedirectsUsers.php in Laravel v5.3.28

public function redirectPath()
{
    return property_exists($this, 'redirectTo') ? $this->redirectTo : '/home';
}

In the later versions 5.3.29 and above. This was changed in file with commit:

Add auth redirect path generation method (#16896)

 public function redirectPath()
 {
     if (method_exists($this, 'redirectTo')) {
         return $this->redirectTo();
     }
     return property_exists($this, 'redirectTo') ? $this->redirectTo : '/home';
 }

So this part of documentation applies for Laravel version 5.3.29 and later only

If the redirect path needs custom generation logic you may define a redirectTo method instead of a redirectTo property:

protected function redirectTo() { // }

Solution for v5.3.28

To make redirectTo() method work in v5.3.28, manually add this in redirectPath() method in src/Illuminate/Foundation/Auth/RedirectsUsers.php.

if (method_exists($this, 'redirectTo')) {
    return $this->redirectTo();
}
