I want to define middleware in my Laravel project, this is my web.php file, when I try to check the auth, I get an error Route [login] not defined. Please help me define middleware in Laravel 11 in the resource controller and custom routes. By the way, I read everything in the laravel11 release notes, but I can’t figure out how I can fix this. Should i create my custom middleware… Thanks… All Routes
Route::redirect('/', 'cars.index');
Route::middleware(['guest'])->group(function(){
Route::get('/login', [UserController::class, 'showLoginForm'])
->name('user.showLoginForm');
Route::post('/login', [UserController::class, 'login'])
->name('user.login');
});
Route::middleware(['auth', 'verified'])->group(function() {
Route::resources([
'cars' => CarController::class,
'user' => UserController::class
]);
Route::post('/logout', [UserController::class, 'logout'])->name('user.logout');
});
I tried everything, I read everything about Laravel 11 release notes, and i tried to create a static middleware method inside my controller, but everything failed. I don’t really know how I can fix this… I am a beginner

I FIXED IT! The problem was my name on the login route, my name was user.showLoginForm, when I changed that to just login everything worked. Obviously Laravel auth is searching for the route named login and that is the problem. The middleware is now working. Thanks, everyone!
login
is a default route name that comes fromAuth::routes()
. Occasionally, you will find your application still redirecting to these routes.My first idea would be to rename the route
user.showLoginForm
tologin
. You can also create a redirect from thelogin
route to theuser.showLoginForm
route.
