Laravel 5 - Redirect To URL After Registration

have multiple users with totally different post login panels. One for teachers and other for students. I made middlewares to separate their views. Middleware checks if a property ( column in database ) named entity is 'student' or 'company' and restricts or permits views accordingly. And yes Guest isnt permitted to either of the post login panel.

I am using same table to save logins. (entity column differentiates if its a teacher or student). Now I want to redirect the users to different views. If I alter $redirectTo = "/studentPanel". Middleware acts and teacher login cannot access this . But if I hard code $redirectTo = "/teacherPanel" , then student post login panel is not accesible.

How can set $redirectTo dynamically . I thought of setting in construct method of auth controller.

Tried this:

public function __construct(Request $request ) {

$this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'getLogout']);

if(Auth::user() && $request->user()->isStudent() )
    $this->redirectTo = "/studentPanel";
elseif(Auth::user() && $request->user()->isTeacher() )
    $this->redirectTo = "/teacherPanel";
else
      $this->redirectTo = "/auth/login";

}

Here isStudent() and isCompany are functions in App\User which respond with true or false checking the entity column value in Database.

I thought this way and I am getting error "Call to a member function isStudent() on a non-object"

You need to change $request->user() to Auth::user().

From there, I have faced a very similar issue and the best solution I found at the time was to set $redirectTo to a static value, and in the route you find whether the user is a student or teacher and redirect appropriately.

The route would look like this:

public function getRedirect()
{

    if (Auth::user() && Auth->user()->isStudent()) {
        return redirect("/studentPanel");
    } else if(Auth::user() && Auth->user()->isTeacher()) {
        return redirect("/teacherPanel");
    } else {
        return redirect("/auth/login");
    }
}
