I am using Sentinel to authenticate users and as the auth Middleware.
Middleware code:
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
var_dump(Sentinel::guest()); // prints false
if (Sentinel::guest()) {
if ($request->ajax()) {
return response('Unauthorized.', 401);
} else {
return redirect()->guest('/login');
}
}
return $next($request);
}
Controller code:
public function getAccount() {
var_dump(Sentinel::guest()); // prints true
return Sentinel::getUser();
}
routes.php
Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth']], function () {
Route::get('api/v1/temp/users/account', 'App\Http\Controllers\UsersController@getAccount');
}
Then if i browse to api/v1/temp/users/account
the var_dump() in the Middleware is printing false, while the var_dump() inside the controller is printing true which seems a nonsense.
What's wrong?
