Week 2: Authentication, Google/GitHub OAuth & Roles
Build secure login systems, learn about OAuth with Google & GitHub, and implement role-based access so your apps can distinguish between users and admins like real production systems.
Laravel Breeze & Authentication
Start with Laravel Breeze, a simple auth starter kit. Implement login, registration, password resets, and user sessions. You'll learn how to protect routes and use Laravel's built-in tools to secure your app.
OAuth: Google + GitHub Logins
Integrate social logins using Laravel Socialite. You'll connect your app to Google and GitHub so users can log in with their existing accounts — a professional touch that users now expect in modern platforms.
Roles: Admin vs. User
Add roles to your users and restrict access accordingly. You’ll learn to build systems where admins can do more than regular users — a feature required in nearly every production-level app.
Enhance the Blog App with Secure Auth
Integrate the complete login and registration system into the blog app from Week 1. Use middleware to protect blog creation routes and ensure only authenticated users can access key parts of the app.
Why This Matters
Almost every SaaS, startup, or business tool needs user accounts and admin controls. Mastering these makes your app production-ready and opens doors to client projects, freelancing, or launching your own platform.
