user auth Laravel 5.2 - authentication

Question

in my project I need to protect some views.
I create a router group:
Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth']], function (){
//Spot
Route::get('administrator/spot-new', 'SpotController#create');
Route::post('administrator/spot-new', 'SpotController#store');
}
in my Spot Controller:
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth');
}
but when I try to access to spot view I can't see the login page.
I have this error:
Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found.

Answer 1

Laravel 5.2 have added Middleware Groups.
https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/middleware#middleware-groups
Web middleware group is responsible for Start Session / Encrypt Cookies / Verify CSRF Token etc.. see below
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'web' => [
\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
],
You're required to add when working with sessions and any other stuff
in that group.
So to solve your problem add 'web' to your middleware
Route::group(['middleware' => ['web', 'auth']], function (){
Route::get('administrator/spot-new', 'SpotController#create');
Route::post('administrator/spot-new', 'SpotController#store');
}
And in your controller constructor
public function __construct()
{
//$this->middleware('auth'); (No need for this one)
}
