Customize Laravel auth Login

Question

I need to customize the Login native code of the Laravel Authentication. I started by overrode some methods on LoginController such us credentials and validateLogin adding a field. But I need to add some other checks, such us the possibility to join with an other table and other code, before to login the user but I didn't find solutions on internet.

I found some infos about the possibility to override the attemptLogin method or create a guard, but I didn't understand how do this.

In you LoginController you can just override the attemptLogin() any other method in AuthenticatesUsers trait depending on where your custom logic will make sense:

class LoginController extends Controller
{
    use AuthenticatesUsers;

    protected function attemptLogin(Request $request)
    {
        // add your logic here
    }
}
