如果已登录，则在访问登录页面时，Laravel会重定向到用户仪表板

Question

I have a basic login system setup, but I would like the user to be sent to there dashboard page if they try to access the "login" page or "create account" page.

How do I go about doing this?

I am thinking something in the routes file?:

Route::post('/login', array('uses' => 'UserController@login'));
Route::post('/create-account', array('uses' => 'UserController@createAccount'));

Route::group(array('before' => 'auth'), function () {
    Route::get('/dashboard', array('uses' => 'DashboardController@index'));

    Route::get('/logout', function () {
        Auth::logout();
        return Redirect::to('/start');
    });
});

Perhaps some kind of group around the first two routes?

A before filter is perfect for this. Since it basically will do the opposite of auth let's call it no_auth:

Route::filter('no_auth', function(){
    if(Auth::check()){
        return Redirect::to('dashboard');
    }
}

And then wrap a group around your two routes to apply the filter:

Route::group(array('before' => 'no_auth'), function(){
   Route::post('/login', array('uses' => 'UserController@login'));
   Route::post('/create-account', array('uses' => 'UserController@createAccount'));
});

Edit

Actually, as @afarazit points out, there's already a filter like that in app/filters.php called guest. You just have to change the redirect URL to dashboard and you're ready to go.
