Installation

Via Composer

composer require jrean/laravel-user-verification

Register Service Provider & Facade

Add the service provider to config/app.php. Make sure to add it above the RouteServiceProvider.

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Jrean\UserVerification\UserVerificationServiceProvider::class,
    // ...
    App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class,
],

Optionally, add the facade:

'aliases' => [
    // ...
    'UserVerification' => Jrean\UserVerification\Facades\UserVerification::class,
],

Publish Configuration

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

Database Configuration

The package requires adding two columns to your users table: verified and verification_token.

Run Migrations

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

Or publish and customize the migrations:

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

Middleware

Default Middleware

Register the included middleware in app/Http/Kernel.php:

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    // ...
    'isVerified' => \Jrean\UserVerification\Middleware\IsVerified::class,
];

Apply it to routes:

Route::group(['middleware' => ['isVerified']], function () {
    // Protected routes...
});

Custom Middleware

php artisan make:middleware IsVerified

Email Configuration

Default Email View

The package includes a basic email template. The view receives a $user variable containing user details and the verification token.

Customize Email View

Publish the views:

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

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

Markdown Email Support

To use Markdown instead of Blade templates, update the user-verification.php config:

'email' => [
    'type' => 'markdown',
],

Email Sending Methods

// Send immediately
UserVerification::send($user, 'Email Verification');

// Queue for sending
UserVerification::sendQueue($user, 'Email Verification');

// Send later
UserVerification::sendLater($seconds, $user, 'Email Verification');

Usage

Routes

The package provides two default 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');

Required Trait

Add the VerifiesUsers trait to your registration controller:

use Jrean\UserVerification\Traits\VerifiesUsers;

class RegisterController extends Controller
{
    use RegistersUsers, VerifiesUsers;
    
    // ...
}

Integration Example

Here's a typical implementation in RegisterController.php:

public function register(Request $request)
{
    $this->validator($request->all())->validate();

    $user = $this->create($request->all());

    event(new Registered($user));

    $this->guard()->login($user);

    UserVerification::generate($user);
    UserVerification::send($user, 'Please Verify Your Email');

    return $this->registered($request, $user)
                    ?: redirect($this->redirectPath());
}

Auto-Login After Verification

Enable auto-login after verification in the config:

'auto-login' => true,
