How to check user activeness (from database) before login in Laravel

Question

In my application, there is a 'status' column in the 'users' table. Which indicates the user activeness. Now I want to check the activeness of the user before login to the system and give a message if he is deactivated. How to do this? There are several answers here, but I cannot make this work with the help of those answers.

This is my LoginController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;

class LoginController extends Controller
{

    use AuthenticatesUsers;

    /**
     * Where to redirect users after login.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $redirectTo = '/dashboard';

    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {

        $this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');


    }




}

You can use authenticated() method.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException;

class LoginController extends Controller
{

    use AuthenticatesUsers;

    /**
     * Where to redirect users after login.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $redirectTo = '/dashboard';

    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
    }

    /**
     * The user has been authenticated.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  mixed  $user
     * @return mixed
     */
    protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
    {
        // Check status
        if ($user->status == 'inactive') {
            $this->logout($request);

            // Send message
            throw ValidationException::withMessages([
                $this->username() => [__('Your status is inactive')],
            ]);
        }
    }
}
