authenticate from other table in Laravel 5.4

I have 3 types of users in the application as below:

 1. Super Admin
 2. Normal User
 3. Staff

I did set up for the Super Admin but want to set Login System for the "Staff" user. I created one folder name as Staff in Controllers folder /var/www/html/projecy_name/app/Http/Controllers and created one Controller with name SessionsController.php, here is the content in that file:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Staff;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Staff;

class SessionsController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('guest',['except'=>'destroy']);
    }

    public function create()
    {
        return view('staffsession.create');
    }

    public function store()
    {
        echo request("email");
        $test = auth()->attempt(request(['email','password']));
        dd($test);
        if(!auth()->attempt(request(['email','password'])))
        {
            Request()->session()->flash('error_msg', 'Please check your credentials and try again.');
            return back()->withErrors([
                'message' => 'Please check your credentials and try again.'
            ]);
        }

        return redirect()->home();
    }

    public function destroy()
    {
        auth()->logout();
        return redirect()->home();
    }
}
?>

In store() function, it is by default going to check in admins table, but I want that it must be check in my tbl_staff table.

How to achieve that?

You should define a new guard and provider in the \config\auth.php file. 

'guards' => [
    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],

    'staff' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'staff',
    ],

    'api' => [
        'driver' => 'token',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],
],


'providers' => [
    'users' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => App\User::class,
    ],

    'staff' => [
        'driver' => 'database',
        'table' => 'tbl_staff',
    ],
],

After that you need to create a new Guard instance with the new provider. It will use the new table for authentification.

Place a guard() method into your login controller:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

protected function guard()
{
    return Auth::guard('staff');
}

Update:

You have to use your methods differently, so that it works. Use the guard() method instead of the auth() method because it uses the default guard. See:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Staff;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Staff;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class SessionsController extends Controller
{
  public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('guest',['except'=>'destroy']);
    }

    protected function guard()
    {
        return Auth::guard('staff');
    }

    public function create()
    {
        return view('staffsession.create');
    }

    public function store()
    {
        if(!$this->guard()->attempt(request(['email','password'])))
        {
            Request()->session()->flash('error_msg', 'Please check your credentials and try again.');
            return back()->withErrors([
                'message' => 'Please check your credentials and try again.'
            ]);
        }

        return redirect()->home();
    }

    public function destroy()
    {
        auth()->logout();
        return redirect()->home();
    }
}
