How to redirect to Login if user not logged in Laravel

Question

I have code in my controller's __construct like

if(Auth::check())
{
    return View::make('view_page');
}

return Redirect::route('login')->withInput()->with('errmessage', 'Please Login to access restricted area.');

its working fine, but what i wants is. its really annoying to put these coding in each and every controller, so i wish to put this Verify Auth and redirect to login page in one place, may be in router.php or filters.php.

I have read some posts in forum as well as in stackoverflow, and added code in filters.php like below but that's too not working.

Route::filter('auth', function() {
    if (Auth::guest())
    return Redirect::guest('login');
});

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Hello @kartik,

You can use it in middleware. If you are using the Laravel build in Auth, You can directly use the auth middleware as given,

Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth']], function() {
   // define your route, route groups here
});

or, for a single route,

Route::get('profile', function () {

})->middleware('auth');

Hope it helps!!

Thank you!!
