Why laravel 6 auth returns false after redirecting by using custom guard?

Question

I am trying to make auth through laravel package using admins table. In the project directory I added admin guard into config/auth.php

\'providers\' => [

Please note that the Auth::check doesn't work on construct. this is because the middleware hasn't run yet, so Auth::check() should return false or null when you try to check in construct.

In your login controller, why are you using two redirectto?

   protected $redirectTo = '/admin/dashboard';
   protected function redirectTo()
   {
     return '/admin/dashboard';
   }

it is better to stick with one :-)

inside your Admin.php , add this:

protected $guard = 'admin';

for your web.php routes, replace

Route::group(['namespace' => $namespace,'prefix' => 'admin',  'middleware' => ['auth']  ], function () {
Route::get('dashboard', 'DashboardController@index')->name('dashboard');
});

with

Route::group(['namespace' => $namespace,'prefix' => 'admin',  'middleware' => ['auth:admin']  ], function () {
Route::get('dashboard', 'DashboardController@index')->name('dashboard');
});

finally, in DashboardController.php

replace the

        /* dd(Auth::check()); */ //return false : just want to show you

With:

    $this->middleware(function ($request, $next) {
        dd(Auth::check());  //return false : just want to show you
        die;    
    });

Auth::check() should return true!
