Admin redirected to /home after back button click

Question

I have this admin middleware:

public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)
{
    if (Auth::check()) {
        if ($request->user()->is_admin == 1) {
            return $next($request);
        }

        return redirect('/login');
    } else {
        return redirect('/login');
    }
}

And in the logincontroller, if the user is admin, they are redirected to /admin. and if not redirected to /home.

protected function authenticated()
{
    if (auth()->user()->is_admin == 1) {
        return redirect('/admin');
    } else {
        return redirect('/home');
    }
}

Now, when admin logs in, they are redirected to /admin but, on clicking back button of browser they are in /home. How could i not redirect the admins to /home. /home is under auth middleware group.

The reason for this is because that user is now authenticated.

Laravel comes with a Middleware called RedirectIfAuthenticated which will check if the user is authentitcated and if so redirect them somewhere else.

You would need to edit that middleware to be something like:

public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)
{
    if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
        return $request->user($guard)->is_admin
            ? redirect('/admin')
            : redirect('/home');
    }

    return $next($request);
}

Hope this helps!
