    Create a controller method, don’t do it in the constructor. Constructors in Laravel controllers do not typically return values.

    public function someMethod()
{
    if (Auth::check()) {
        if (Auth::user()->user_type === 'admin') {
            return redirect()->route('admin.dashboard');
        } elseif (Auth::user()->user_type === 'operator') {
            return redirect()->route('operator.dashboard');
        }
    }

    It’s not possible by design. If you need it you can create middleware in constructor like this:

    public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware(function ($request, $next) {
        if (Auth::check()){
           if(Auth::user()->user_type == 'admin'){
              return to_route('admin.dashboard');
           } elseif(Auth::user()->user_type == 'operator'){
              return to_route('operator.dashboard');
           }
         }
 
         return $next($request);
    });
}

    but you can also create normal middleware and use it for controller.
