How to Record Last Login Timestamp and IP Address in Laravel 8 with Fortify

If you're working on a Laravel 8 project and want to track when users last logged in, as well as their IP addresses, you're in the right place! This guide will help you seamlessly integrate this functionality using the Laravel Fortify package. Let's dive into how to achieve this step by step.

Understanding the Problem

In previous versions of Laravel, capturing the last login timestamp and IP address of a user was as simple as updating the user's details in the authentication controller. However, with the introduction of Laravel Fortify, it’s important to adapt our approach to leverage the features of this package effectively. The objective here is to record user login data whenever a user successfully authenticates.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Configuring Event Listener

The first step involves creating an event listener that reacts when a user logs in. This listener will handle the user data updates for both the login timestamp and the IP address.

Creating the Event Listener

Create a new file for your event listener. This example will name it UpdateUserLastLoginDate.php. Place it in the app/Events directory.

In the above code:

We listen for the Login event.

We fetch the user data and update the last_login timestamp and last_login_ip address.

We also ensure that any exceptions are caught and logged appropriately.

2. Registering the Event in Event Service Provider

Next, tell your application to register this event listener whenever the Login event is fired. This can be done in the EventServiceProvider.php located in the app/Providers directory.

Here, we state that the UpdateUserLastLoginDate listener should respond to the Login event, effectively linking them together.

3. Testing the Implementation

Once you've added the event listener and registered it:

Try logging in with a user account in your application.

Check the users' table in your database to ensure that the last_login timestamp and last_login_ip are being recorded correctly.

Conclusion

By creating a custom event listener and linking it to the Login event in Laravel Fortify, you can effectively monitor your application's user logins. This approach not only improves your application’s functionality but also enhances security by keeping track of user access patterns.

Implementing this feature may seem daunting at first, but with the steps outlined above, you'll enrich your Laravel application with this powerful capability. Happy coding!
