How to use laravel fortify for authentication in multiple places on the same website

Question

When using laravel/UI we can create authentication scaffold on multiple places or for multiple users like admin, normal users by copy-pasting the same scaffold generated by the &--auth flag.

How can we achieve the same with Fortify?

How can we use Fortify to authorize admin and normal users?

Answer 1

See the link below. You need to use config function.

Answer 2

In order to do multiauth, we have to use multiple guards. But laravel fortify only supports one guard (as of sep-2022) in the config/fortify.php file. So what we need to do:

1. We need to use authenticateUsing method and return our specific authenticating model (User/Admin/whatever) in the boot method of FortifyServicePorvider:

   Fortify::authenticateUsing(function (Request $request) {
   // check based on the type request:
   switch($request->type){
       case'employee':
           // return employee model all the checks;
       break;
   
       case 'admin':
           // return admin model after all the checks;
       break;
   }
   });
   

2. Check the same request parameter in the register method of FortifyServicePorvider and set the guard (make sure to create a guard in the config/auth.php file) to use, using global config help:

   switch($request->type){
   case'employee':
       config(['fortify.guard' => 'employee']);
       break;
   
   case 'admin':
       config(['fortify.guard' => 'admin']);
       break;
   }
