Laravel Sanctum: Session-Based Authentication for SPA with Redirect Issues
I'm performance testing and I'm implementing session-based authentication in a Laravel application using Sanctum for a Single Page Application (SPA)... While the initial authentication works fine, I'm working with an scenario with session persistence after redirecting back from the login route. After logging in, instead of being redirected back to the intended page, users are sent to the home page, losing any context on where they were trying to go. I've set up the `web` middleware group for session management and configured Sanctum as follows in `config/sanctum.php`: ```php 'stateful' => explode(',', env('SANCTUM_STATEFUL_DOMAINS', 'localhost')), ``` And in my login method, I'm using: ```php public function login(Request $request) { $request->validate([ 'email' => 'required|email', 'password' => 'required', ]); if (Auth::attempt($request->only('email', 'password'))) { return redirect()->intended('dashboard'); } return back()->withErrors([ 'email' => 'The provided credentials do not match our records.', ]); } ``` However, the `redirect()->intended()` doesn't seem to function as expected. I suspect it might be due to how my SPA handles routes and sessions. I've also tried adding a `redirect()->route('dashboard')` instead, but I still end up at home after login. I also ensured that the `APP_URL` in my `.env` file is set correctly, and cookies are being sent with the requests: ```php 'http_only' => true, 'same_site' => 'lax', 'secure' => env('SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE', false), ``` Does anyone have insights on how to maintain the intended URL through the login process in a Laravel-SPA setup with Sanctum? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! My development environment is macOS. This is my first time working with Php stable. Is there a better approach?
