Automatically redirect to login page when session timeout in laravel 5.4

Question

I'm working on Laravel 5.4. Without making a request pages must redirect to login page when session is timed out. I don't want any Javascript code. I tried but its not working well for multiple tabs. I even tried with Middleware but that did not work. References I tried:

• http://bmatovu.com/laravel-session-timeout-auto-logout/
• https://github.com/unicodeveloper/laravel-sessiontimeout/blob/master/src/Middleware/SessionTimeout.php

Is there any solution to solve this issue in Larvel 5.4 framework, directly redirect to login page after session timeout.

Answer 1

You can catch the 419 error in the render function of App\Exceptions\Handler.
Something like this

if (method_exists($exception, 'getStatusCode') && $exception->getStatusCode() == '419') {
    //your custom handler here
}
return parent::render($request, $exception);

Try this

protected $middleware = [
        'Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode',
        'Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies',
        'Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse',
        'Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession',
        'Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession',
        'App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken',
        'App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate',// add this line according to your namespace if not found in your kernel.php
    ];

you just add your route in this middleware

Route::get('/admin-someting', ['middleware' => 'auth', function () {
    //your route
}]);

or this put on your controller

public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('auth');
}
