Answer 1

For beginners in Laravel who want to set up an admin panel or dashboard with mail based authentication and basic CMS features WITHOUT using any Laravel packages. AdminLTE default integrated. Just download LaraShade from: https://github.com/agni-s-chakraborty/larashade

Its not necessary to have same fields in your database. If you want to create a new model for new table, create UserSystem model and replace all the App\User instances with App\UserSystem model.

If you want to use existing model, just change the table name in the App\User model.

If you have different user name or any authentication credentials, you need to move Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers class code to App\Http\Controllers\Auth\LoginController.

Following are the code segments that you need to change there.

protected function validateLogin(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        $this->username() => 'required|string',
        'password' => 'required|string',
    ]);
}

protected function credentials(Request $request)
{
    return $request->only($this->username(), 'password');
}

//Mention your username here
public function username()
{
    return 'user_name';
}
