Laravel 7.x user authentication Login – Register – Password Reset

In this opst I will help you to implement user authentication in your Laravel 7.x project with example.

In this opst, we’ll see how to add user authentication in Laravel 7.x with login, registration, logout and password reset example.

Install user authentication UI package

Authentication UI laravel/ui package provides a quick way to Scaffolding all of the routes and views you need for authentication using a few simple commands. Login into your SSH terminal and run following commands:

 
# Updated composer.json file and Insatall laravel/ui package 
composer require laravel/ui 

# Authentication scaffolding create the necessary views 
php artisan ui vue --auth

We should run the previous php artisan ui vue –auth command on new Laravel 7.x projects for generating a complete layout with user registration, login, logout, and password reset views and routes for user authentication. This will also generate a HomeController for handling the requests after user login.

The php artisan php artisan ui vue –auth command will create the necessary views for user authentication in your project resources/views/auth and resources/views/layouts folder. In layouts folder created app.blade.php layout blade for your application which makes use of the Bootstrap CSS framework.

|-resources
	|-views
		|-home.blade.php
		|-auth
			|-login.blade.php
			|-register.blade.php
			|-verify.blade.php
			|-passwords
				|-confirm.blade.php
				|-email.blade.php
				|-reset.blade.php
		|-layouts
			|-app.blade.php

The php artisan php artisan ui vue –auth command will create the necessary authentication controllers, users can login, logout, register, password reset and verify authenticate in app\Http\Controllers\HomeController.php and app\Http\Controllers\Auth folder.

|-app
	|-Http
		|-Controllers
			|-HomeController.php
		|-Auth
			|-ConfirmPasswordController.php
			|-ForgotPasswordController.php
			|-LoginController.php
			|-RegisterController.php
			|-ResetPasswordController.php
			|-VerificationController.php

Authentication Routes

Now, we need to add the authentication routes in our Laravel 7.x project in file routes\web.php. Open web.php you should find the following code:

	Auth::routes();
	Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');

The Auth::routes() method includes the routes for login, registration, logout, and password reset. Auth::routes() method along with the home route was added when added the auth scaffolding in the previous section.

Now we can access via web browser address bar to Login, register, reset etc, you should see the following interface:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/login
http://127.0.0.1:8000/register
http://127.0.0.1:8000/password/reset

We can see the views have no styling. So we need to set Twitter Bootstrap 3.x CSS or own CSS style.

Change authentication home url

We can change authentication url home to myaccount or anything else from app\Providers\RouteServiceProvider.php file. Currently after user login or refister redirect to authentication area with home url.

	# Go to app\Providers\RouteServiceProvider.php in line no 24
	public const HOME = '/home'; // Change to myaccount
