Modularous

Appearance

RedirectIfAuthenticatedMiddleware ​

File: src/Http/Middleware/RedirectIfAuthenticatedMiddleware.php
Alias: modularous.guest

Protects guest-only routes (login, register, password reset) by redirecting already-authenticated users away.

What It Does ​

php
public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = 'modularous')
{
    if ($this->authFactory->guard($guard)->check()) {
        return $this->redirector->to(modularousConfig('auth_login_redirect_path', '/'));
    }
    return $next($request);
}

If the user is already authenticated under the specified guard, they are redirected to modularous.auth_login_redirect_path (default: '/').

Configuration ​

php
// config/modularous.php
'auth_login_redirect_path' => '/admin',

Usage ​

Apply to guest-only routes:

php
Route::middleware('modularous.guest')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/login', [AuthController::class, 'showLoginForm'])->name('login.form');
    Route::post('/login', [AuthController::class, 'login'])->name('login');
});

Notes ​

  • The guard parameter defaults to 'modularous' but can be overridden: modularous.guest:web.
  • This is the inverse of modularous.auth — one protects routes that require authentication, the other protects routes that require the user to be a guest.
