To create a custom login for only admin in Laravel, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a new middleware called AdminMiddleware by running the following command in your terminal:

1

php artisan make:middleware AdminMiddleware

Step 2: Update the handle method of the AdminMiddleware to check if the user logging in is an admin. You can do this by adding the following code to the handle method:

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
    if ($request->user() && $request->user()->role !== 'admin') {
        return redirect('home');
    }

    return $next($request);
}

Step 3: Register the AdminMiddleware in the $routeMiddleware property of your app/Http/Kernel.php file:

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    // other middlewares
    'admin' => AppHttpMiddlewareAdminMiddleware::class,
];

Step 4: Apply the AdminMiddleware to the routes that need to be restricted to admin access by using the middleware method in your routes/web.php file or in your routes defined in the RouteServiceProvider:

1

Route::middleware(['admin'])->group(function () {
    // admin only routes here
});

Step 5: Update your login method in the AuthLoginController to check if the user is an admin before authenticating:

use IlluminateSupportFacadesAuth;

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

    if (Auth::attempt($credentials) && Auth::user()->role === 'admin') {
        return redirect()->intended('dashboard');
    }
    
    return redirect('login')->with('error', 'These credentials do not match our records.');
}

By following these steps, you can create a custom login functionality for admin users in Laravel.
