Laravel 5.2 Prevent user form login when he is blocked

Question

This is my login function in AuthenticatesUsers.php

    public function postLogin(Request $request)
    {
        return $this->login($request);


if (Auth::validate(['email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password, 'block' => 1])) {
            return redirect("/")->withErrors('User blocked');
            }

    }

I set 1 in blocked field in DB ant still let's me login. Can u tell me why ?

Answer 1

What you essentially need to do is override the getCredentials method in the AuthenticatesUsers trait. As stated in a previous comment, you do not want to edit anything in the vendor directory.

Please take a look at this blog post to see how I've done something similar.
