Laravel Tips #4

Last Login event registration

Today I worked on my application to record last login date and time for the users. After reading this documentation this is how I implemented in my project.

protected $listen = [
    'Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login' => [
        'App\Listeners\LogLastLogin',
    ],
];

Then ran the artisan command

php artisan event:generate

This artisan command generate events and listeners.
Then update the handle method under Listeners\LogLastLogin.php

public function handle(Login $event)
{
    $event->user->last_login = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
    $event->user->save();
}

Tested and its working fine. Happy days!!!
