login event handling in laravel 5

This is in my

EventServiceProvider.php

   <?php

    namespace App\Providers;

    use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event;
    use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\EventServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;

    class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
    {
        /**
         * The event listener mappings for the application.
         *
         * @var array
         */
        protected $listen = [
            'App\Events\SomeEvent' => [
                'App\Listeners\EventListener',
            ],
             'Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login' => [
                'App\Listeners\AuthLoginListener',
            ],
        ];

        /**
         * Register any events for your application.
         *
         * @return void
         */
        public function boot()
        {
            parent::boot();


        }
    }
I defined listener as AuthLoginListner and my 

> AuthLoginListner.php

<?php

namespace App\Listeners;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login;
class AuthLoginListener
{
    /**
     * Create the event listener.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Handle the event.
     *
     * @param  auth.login  $event
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle(Login $event)
    {
        return "yes";
    }
}

Answer 1

Here is how I achieved it.

I created a new Listenener here App/Listeners/LogSuccessfullLogin.php

namespace App\Listeners;

use Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use \Carbon\Carbon;

class LogSuccessfulLogin
{
    /**
    * Create the event listener.
    *
    * @return void
    */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
    * Handle the event.
    *
    * @param  Login  $event
    * @return void
    */
    public function handle(Login $event)
    {
        $event->user->last_login = Carbon::now();
        $event->user->save();
    }
}

and then in the EventServiceProvider, I observed for the Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login event as such:

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\EventServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;

class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
    * The event listener mappings for the application.
    *
    * @var array
    */
    protected $listen = [
        'Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login' => [
            'App\Listeners\LogSuccessfulLogin',
        ]
    ];

    /**
    * Register any events for your application.
    *
    * @return void
    */
    public function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();

        //
    }
}

So each time a user is logging in, it will save the timestamp in the last_login field in the users table.

Hope this helps!
