returning redirect from parent's function. - s4if - 05-01-2020

Hi, I want to make simple authentication checking method in BaseController.php so it can be accessed by another controller like this:

PHP Code:
protected function mustLoggedIn()
{
    if (is_null($this->session->get('logged_in'))) {
        $this->session->setFlashdata(['error' => 'Maaf, anda harus login dulu']);
        return redirect()->to('/login');
        exit();
    }
} 

then accessed like this:

PHP Code:
public function beranda()
{
    $this->mustLoggedIn();
    return view('siswa/beranda');
} 

but it didn't work in CI4. Is my method wrong?
How to implement login check like that in CI4?

Hello,

The 'exit()' call after the 'return' will never be executed.

PHP Code:
protected function isLoggedIn()
{
    if (is_null($this->session->get('logged_in'))) {
        $this->session->setFlashdata(['error' => 'Maaf, anda harus login dulu']);
        return false;
    } else {
        return true;
    }
} 

PHP Code:
public function beranda()
{
    if ($this->isLoggedIn()) {
        return view('siswa/beranda');
    } else {
        return redirect()->to('/login');
    }
}

I think you might want to check out Controller Filters. They are designed to handle exactly that type of situation.
