How to separate user session from admin session in laravel?

In order to separate user session from admin session in Laravel, you can create two separate middleware groups for users and admins.

Here's how you can achieve this:

1. Create a middleware for admin session:

1

php artisan make:middleware AdminMiddleware

1. Define the logic for checking admin session in the AdminMiddleware:

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
    if (auth()->check() && auth()->user()->isAdmin()) {
        return $next($request);
    }

    return redirect()->route('login');
}

1. Register the AdminMiddleware in your app/Http/Kernel.php file under the $routeMiddleware array:

1

'admin' => AppHttpMiddlewareAdminMiddleware::class,

1. Create a route group for admin routes in your web.php file:

1
2
3

Route::middleware('admin')->group(function () {
    // Admin routes
});

1. Use the auth middleware for user session in your routes:

1
2
3

Route::middleware('auth')->group(function () {
    // User routes
});

By following these steps, you can separate user session from admin session in Laravel and ensure that only admins have access to the routes defined within the admin middleware group.
