Laravel redirectTo() method

Laravel redirectTo() method

// Dont use "return redirect.." because the method redirectTo should return an url path, not the Redirect response.

Example


    protected function redirectTo() {
        if (Auth::check() && Auth::user()->role == 'visitor') {
            // Dont use redirect 
            // return redirect('/visitor'); // Wrong
            return route('backend.visitor');
        }
        elseif (Auth::check() && Auth::user()->role == 'editor') {
            // Dont use redirect 
            // return redirect('/editor'); // Wrong
            return route('backend.editor');
        }
        else {
            // Dont use redirect 
            // return redirect('/admin'); // Wrong
            return route('backend.dashboard');
        }
    }
