I'm noob in Laravel and working with Laravel 5. For user registration and and login, I want to use default system of laravel. But, need to extend it with two following features:
- User will get an email just after registration.
- Upon saving of user registration, I need to make an entry in another role table (I've used Entrust package for role management)
How to do these things?
You can modify Laravel 5 default registrar located in app/services
<?php namespace App\Services;
use App\User;
use Validator;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Registrar as RegistrarContract;
use Mail;
class Registrar implements RegistrarContract {
/**
* Get a validator for an incoming registration request.
*
* @param array $data
* @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator
*/
public function validator(array $data)
{
return Validator::make($data, [
'name' => 'required|max:255',
'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:6'
]);
}
/**
* Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
*
* @param array $data
* @return User
*/
public function create(array $data)
{
$user = User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => \Hash::make($data['password']),
//generates a random string that is 20 characters long
'verification_code' => str_random(20)
]);
//do your role stuffs here
//send verification mail to user
//---------------------------------------------------------
$data['verification_code'] = $user->verification_code;
Mail::send('emails.welcome', $data, function($message) use ($data)
{
$message->from('no-reply@site.com', "Site name");
$message->subject("Welcome to site name");
$message->to($data['email']);
});
return $user;
}
}
Inside resources/emails/welcome.blade.php
Hey {{$name}}, Welcome to our website. <br>
Please click <a href="{!! url('/verify', ['code'=>$verification_code]) !!}"> Here</a> to confirm email
NB: You need to create route/controller for verify
Laravel has an empty method named registered in Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\RegistersUsers trait to simplify this operation, just override it as following:
First add a new Notification:
<?php
namespace App\Notifications;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
class UserRegisteredNotification extends Notification {
public function __construct($user) {
$this->user = $user;
}
public function via($notifiable) {
return ['mail'];
}
public function toMail($notifiable) {
return (new MailMessage)
->success()
->subject('Welcome')
->line('Dear ' . $this->user->name . ', we are happy to see you here.')
->action('Go to site', url('/'))
->line('Please tell your friends about us.');
}
}
Add this use line to your RegisterController.php:
use App\Notifications\UserRegisteredNotification;
and add this method:
protected function registered(Request $request, $user) {
$user->notify(new UserRegisteredNotification($user));
}
You are done.
