Laravel After Logging in is going to / Route

Question

This is mine LoginController

 protected $redirectTo;
/**
 * Create a new controller instance.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function __construct()
{
    if(Auth::check() && Auth::user()->role->id == 1){
        $this->redirectTo=route('admin.dashboard');
    }
    else{
        $this->redirectTo=route('user.dashboard');
      }

    $this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
}

} Here is mine web.php

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
})->name('home');

Auth::routes();

I don't know Why after Successfully logging in its going to / route i want to send it to another route which after logging in i manually Enter the route i successfully viewed that route if i am logged in its not going to show but how can i manage after logging in route

You are doing it wrong. You shouldn't put such code into controller constructor because it won't probably work.

Instead in your controller you should define custom redirectTo method:

protected function redirectTo()
{
   if(Auth::check() && Auth::user()->role->id == 1) {
       return route('admin.dashboard');
   }

   return $this->redirectTo=route('user.dashboard'); 
}

This should work because in Illuminate/Foundation/Auth/RedirectsUsers.php trait there is method:

public function redirectPath()
{
    if (method_exists($this, 'redirectTo')) {
        return $this->redirectTo();
    }

    return property_exists($this, 'redirectTo') ? $this->redirectTo : '/home';
}

defined that is used later in LoginController by default when user was succesfully logged.
