Integration and Customization of Laravel Authentication
- General
Integration and Customization of Laravel Authentication
1. For integrating Laravel Authentication, you should run the following artisan command
php artisan make:auth
it will integrate Laravel Default Authentication. If you looked at folder structure following files will generated
Controller Files
App -> http -> controller -> Auth
ForgetPassword.php
LoginController.php
RegisterController.php
ResetPassword.php
VerificationController.php
Model Files
App
User.php
View Files
resources -> views -> auth
login.blade.php
register.blade.php
verfiy.blade.php
resources -> views -> auth ->password
email.blade.php
reset.blade.php
2. Customaization in Laravel Authentication
Auth View
all the auth files are extend by app.layout file
path – resource-> view -> layouts -> app.blade.php
there are sevral things you can do with app.blade.php
1. change the app name –
in the default Laravel Auth contains app name as a “Laravel” if want to change the app name then you should do following things
find –
{{config(‘app.name’, ‘Laravel’)}}
app.name is define in config file as ‘name’ -> ‘Laravel’
lets change ‘Laravel’ to ‘DemoProject’
It will change project name Laravel to DemoProject
Configured Reset Password
For using Laravel Reset Password functionality you have to do following changes in .env file
1. find MAIL_DRIVER change it to MAIL_DRIVER = smtp
2. find MAIL_HOST change it yo MAIL_HOST = smtp.gmail.com
3. find MAIL_USERNAME change it to MAIL_USERNAME = example.gmail.com
4. fine MAIL_PASSWORD change it to MAIL_PASSWORD = your_password
Then restart your server using following command
php artisan serve
Login Controller
1. redirect changes
by default after successfully it will redirect to the home page using the
protected $redirectTo = ‘/home’;
we want redirected to the welcome page after login we change to
protected $redirectTo = ‘/’;
All the Login Function are define in the
vender\laravel\framework\src\illuminate\foundation\Auth\AuthenticationUser.php
2. login Using Name and password
by default laravel has login using Email and Password, if in some cases we need to login using any other fields like name,password or name,email then we can do this using following
default condition-
when we put our credentials in inputbox or login page following function get there values using Request
protected function validateLogin(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
$this->username() => ‘required|string’,
‘password’ => ‘required|string’,
]);
}
and this username() function is return email
public function username()
{
return ’email’;
}
here we need to change email to name for login using name
public function username()
{
return ‘name’;
}
3. Login Throttling
If you are using Laravel’s built-in LoginController class, the Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\ThrottlesLogins trait will already be included in your controller. By default, the user will not be able to login for one minute if they fail to provide the correct credentials after several attempts.
Default condition-
public function maxAttempts()
{
return property_exists($this, ‘maxAttempts’) ? $this->maxAttempts : 5;
}
this mean we have only 5 unsuccessfull attemps for login
public function decayMinutes()
{
return property_exists($this, ‘decayMinutes’) ? $this->decayMinutes : 1;
}
after using all attempt account is locked for 1 minute
we can change numer of attemps and time by chnaging this:
For Number of Attempts change in function maxAtttempts()
$this->maxAttempts : 10; // Now you have 10 Attempts
For change the time change in function decayMinutes()
$this->decayMinutes : 2; // now account will locked for 2 minutes
Customization in Register Controller
1. Add New Field in Register Page- In the following step we are going to add a new Last Name field in Register form
step-1 goto register.blade.php
-find the name field and put the Last Name Field
<div class=”form-group row”>
<label for=”name” class=”col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right”>{{ __(‘Last Name’) }}</label>
<div class=”col-md-6″>
<input id=”name” type=”text” class=”form-control{{ $errors->has(‘name’) ? ‘ is-invalid’ : ” }}” name=”last_name” value=”{{ old(‘name’) }}” required autofocus>
@if ($errors->has(‘name’))
<span class=”invalid-feedback” role=”alert”>
<strong>{{ $errors->first(‘name’) }}</strong>
</span>
@endif
</div>
</div>
2. Add column in Database
All the user data is stored in users table, so we have to add a new column in users table
– Run migration command
php artisan make:migration add_lastName_inUsers –table=users
-find the add_lastName_inUsers migration file under database-> migration folder and add new column
public function up()
{
Schema::table(‘users’, function (Blueprint $table)
{
$table->string(‘last_name’)->after(‘name’);
});
}
after updating up() function run migrate command
php artisan migrate
it will create new column in users table after the name column
3.Update User model –
Update User model using this
protected $fillable = [‘name’,’last_name’,’email’,’password’];
4.Updates in RegisterController-
-add validation
protected function validator(array $data)
{
return Validator::make($data, [
‘name’ => [‘required’, ‘string’, ‘max:255’],
‘last_name’ => [‘required’, ‘string’, ‘max:255’],
’email’ => [‘required’, ‘string’, ’email’, ‘max:255’, ‘unique:users’],
‘password’ => [‘required’, ‘string’, ‘min:6’, ‘confirmed’],
]);
}
– Get Values from frontend and save in database
protected function create(array $data)
{
$user = User::create
([
‘name’ => $data[‘name’],
‘last_name’ => $data[‘last_name’],
’email’ => $data[’email’],
‘password’ => bcrypt($data[‘password’]),
]);
}
->name(‘password.request’);
