How to Check User online or not in Laravel
Some developers use a token to store in the users' table when the user login and deletes token when the user logs out but what happens when the user, not logs out but closes the tab or maybe not on PC or system. Here use a proper method to use know user online or not we also seta time duration if the user does not do any activity duration set time. so let's start If you work on an existing project you can skip this process. Create a new Laravel project using this command. In the second step we setup database connection in the .env file than migrate table using this command. After that fill some dummy data in the user table to check users online or not in Laravel. Create a middleware LastUserActivity using this command. Add some code check user online or not App\Http\Middleware\LastUserActivity .php Add a class into Kernal file in middlewareGroups full code of $middlewareGroups Ok, We almost are done now time to check. Don't forget to add use Cache in User Model At the top; Use the isOnline function in view. Step:1 Create a new project
laravel new userOnlineStep:2 Setup database and migrate table
php artisan migrateStep: 3 create a middleware
php artisan make:middleware LastUserActivity<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Auth;
use Cache;
use Carbon\Carbon;
class LastUserActivity
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure $next
* @return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if(Auth::check()) {
$expiresAt = Carbon::now()->addMinutes(1);
Cache::put('user-is-online-' . Auth::user()->id, true, $expiresAt);
}
return $next($request);
}
}
Step: 4 Add a class into Kernel
\App\Http\Middleware\LastUserActivity::class,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,
\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\LastUserActivity::class,
],
'api' => [
'throttle:60,1',
'bindings',
],
];Step: 5 Add a function into the User Model
public function isOnline()
{
return Cache::has('user-is-online-' . $this->id);
}use Cache;Step: 6 Check user Online or offline in Laravel application
@if($user->isOnline())
