Laravel 7/6 Email Verification Tutorial Example

Laravel provides built-in email verification system for newly registered user. Using this, newly registered user will get an email with an account activation link. This activation link is used for account verification. When activation link is clicked, this will make user account verified and active for the application. Once user account is activated then it will be allowed to access protected routes; which can be accessible only by verified accounts.

In this step by step tutorial, we’ll show you how to setup email verification system for newly registered user in laravel.

Install Laravel Fresh Setup

Setup Database and SMTP Detail
Create Auth Scaffolding
Migrate Database

Add Route
Add Middleware In Controller
Run Development Server

Conclusion

1. Install Laravel Fresh Setup

First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel using the below command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

2. Setup Database

Now, lets create a MySQL database and connect it with laravel application. After creating database we need to set database credential in application’s .env file.

 DB_CONNECTION=mysql 
 DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 
 DB_PORT=3306 
 DB_DATABASE=here your database name here
 DB_USERNAME=here database username here
 DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

DB_CONNECTION=mysql

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

DB_PORT=3306

DB_DATABASE=here your database name here

DB_USERNAME=here database username here

DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

Now we will setup SMTP credential in .env to send emails. We are using mailtrap SMTP credential in this example.

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
 MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
 MAIL_PORT=2525
 MAIL_USERNAME=your_mailtrap_user_name
 MAIL_PASSWORD=your_mailtrap_user_password
 MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp

MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io

MAIL_PORT=2525

MAIL_USERNAME=your_mailtrap_user_name

MAIL_PASSWORD=your_mailtrap_user_password

MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

3. Create Auth Scaffolding

Now we need to enable authentication scaffolding in laravel.

4. Migrate Database

Now, go to app/providers/AppServiceProvider.php and put the below code :

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

 function boot()
 {
     Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
 }

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

function boot()

{

Schema::defaultStringLength(191);

}

Now, in this step we will create model and migration file. Please run the following command:

php artisan migrate

1	php artisan migrate

After migrating the database tables we need to add the MustVerifyEmail Contracts in App/User.php. Open the App/User.php file add the constructor like

<?php
 
namespace App;
 
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
 
class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail
{
    use Notifiable;
 
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'email', 'password',
    ];
 
    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'remember_token',
    ];
}

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail

{

use Notifiable;

/**

* The attributes that are mass assignable.

* @var array

protected $fillable = [

'name', 'email', 'password',

];

/**

* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.

* @var array

protected $hidden = [

'password', 'remember_token',

];

}

5. Add Route

After this, we need to define routes in “routes/web.php” file. Lets open “routes/web.php” file and add the following routes in it.

routes/web.php

Route::get('/', function () {
     return view('welcome');
 });
 
 //first 
 Auth::routes();
 
 //after
 Auth::routes(['verify' => true]);

Route::get('/', function () {

return view('welcome');

});

//first

Auth::routes();

//after

Auth::routes(['verify' => true]);

6. Add Middleware In Controller

We need to add Middleware in the controller constructor. Go to app/controllers/HomeController
and put this line $this->middleware([‘auth’, ‘verified’]); inside of constructor :

<?php
 
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
 
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
 
class HomeController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware(['auth', 'verified']);
    }
 
    /**
     * Show the application dashboard.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return view('home');
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class HomeController extends Controller

{

/**

* Create a new controller instance.

* @return void

public function __construct()

{

$this->middleware(['auth', 'verified']);

}

/**

* Show the application dashboard.

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

public function index()

{

return view('home');

}

7. Run Development Server

Now we are ready to run our example so lets start the development server using following artisan command –

php artisan serve

1	php artisan serve

Now, open the following URL in browser to see the output –

 http://localhost:8000/

1	http://localhost:8000/
