php artisan make:auth

Create New Migration

The table representing the user must be updated with two new columns, verified and verification_token. This update will be performed by the migrations included with this package.

It is mandatory that the two columns are on the same table where the user's e-mail is stored. Please make sure you do not already have those fields on your user table.


To run the migrations from this package use the following command :

php artisan migrate --path="/vendor/jrean/laravel-user-verification/src/resources/migrations"

Register the default middleware

To register the default middleware add the following to the $routeMiddleware array within the app/Http/Kernel.php file:

// ........
'isVerified' => Jrean\UserVerification\Middleware\IsVerified::class,

Apply to our routes (routes/web.php)

Route::group(['middleware' => ['web', 'isVerified']], function () {
    //....

Create New Views

If you want to customize the e-mail view, run the following command to publish it and edit it to your needs:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jrean\UserVerification\UserVerificationServiceProvider" --tag="views"

The view will be available in the resources/views/vendor/laravel-user-verification/ directory.

Create New Routes

Route::get('email-verification/error', 'Auth\RegisterController@getVerificationError')->name('email-verification.error');
Route::get('email-verification/check/{token}', 'Auth\RegisterController@getVerification')->name('email-verification.check');

3. Overwrite the contructor (not mandatory)
