Adding your own event

When connecting as a user, an event is triggered (UserIsSwitching)

If you want to add some magic to your authentication (like adding some sessions data) you can do so by adding your own event listener like so :

// 'app/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php'
class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * The event listener mappings for the application.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $listen = [
        UserIsSwitching::class => [
            TestListener::class
        ],
    ];

    /**
     * Register any events for your application.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        //
    }
}
