title: Login only if user is active using Laravel
body: <p>I'm currently working on my Laravel app and to prevent spam I decided that only active users are able to login.
  I'm currently using Laravel's login system just like in Laravel's official website tutorial, here's my form action:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="POST" action="{{ url('/auth/login') }}"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works completely fine, however I'd like to check the user's active, if not active it would be redirected to the activation page, otherwise it would login.
  Is there a simple way to do this or am I obligated to make a new controller, routes and more verifications? Thank you.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Forgot to mention that I have a 'active' column in my database.</p>
