# Steps To Achieve the outcome

##Step 1 - Add New Column 'status' in the users table

Create a migration by running the command below

```php
php artisan make:migration add_status_to_users_table
```
After Migration File is created update the following code in the up() function.

```php
Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->integer('status')->default(1);
});
```
Add 'status' in Fillable in app\Models\User.php

```php
protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
        'status'
];
```

##Step 2 - Create a Middleware - CheckBanned

Create a middleware by running the command below.

```php
php artisan make:middleware CheckBanned
```

Replace the handle method in app/Http/CheckBanned.php

```php
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
    if(auth()->check() && (auth()->user()->status == 0)){
            Auth::logout();

            $request->session()->invalidate();

            $request->session()->regenerateToken();

            return redirect()->route('login')->with('error', 'Your Account is suspended, please contact Admin.');

    }
        
    return $next($request);
}
```

##Step 3 - Register the Middleware - app/Http/Kernel.php

IN 'web' Middleware group register the CheckBanned Middleware by putting the code below.

```php
\App\Http\Middleware\CheckBanned::class,
```
##Step 4 - Display The Error on the log-in page.

Open login blade 'resources/views/auth/login.blade.php'

Add The following code to display the error message.

```php
@if (session('error'))
   <div class="alert alert-danger">
        {{ session('error') }}
   </div>
@endif
```
