*/

use AuthenticatesUsers;

/**

* Where to redirect users after login.

*

* @var string

*/

protected $redirectTo = RouteServiceProvider::HOME;

/**

* Create a new controller instance.

*

* @return void

*/

public function __construct()

{

$this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');

}

/**

* Write code on Method

*

* @return response()

*/

public function login(Request $request)

{

$request->validate([

'email' => 'required',

'password' => 'required',

]);
