    ];

    {
        $this->validate([
            'email' => 'required',
            'password' => 'required|same:passwordConfirmation|min:6',
        ]);

        $user = User::create([
            'email' =>$this->email,
            'password' => Hash::make($this->password),
            'remember_token' => Str::random(10),
        ]);

        auth()->login($user);

        return redirect('/profile');
    }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Forgot password

You have the option to send an email containing the password reset link to an user. To access this page, just click the "Page examples/ Forgot password" link in the left sidebar or add /forgot-password in the URL.

The app/Http/Livewire/ForgotPassword.php handles the email submission process.

    public function recoverPassword() {
        $this->validate();
        $user=User::where('email', $this->email)->first();
        $this->notify(new ResetPassword($user->id));
        $this->mailSentAlert = true;
        }
    }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The app/Notifications/ResetPassword.php handles the email submission itself. Here you can edit the overall layout of the email.

    public function toMail($notifiable)
    {
        $url = URL::signedRoute('reset-password', ['id' => $this->token]);
        return (new MailMessage)
                    ->subject('Reset your password')
                    ->line('Hey, did you forget your password? Click the button to reset it.')
                    ->action('Reset Password', $url)
                    ->line('Thank you for using our application!');
    }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Reset password

The email sent through the forgot password process will send the user to an unique link containing the password reset form. To access an example of this page, just click the "Page examples/ Reset password" link in the left sidebar or add /reset-password-example in the URL.

The app/Http/Livewire/ResetPassword.php handles the password reset process and validation.


    public function resetPassword() {
        $this->validate();
        $existingUser = User::where('email', $this->email)->first();
        if($existingUser && $existingUser->id == $this->urlId) {
            $existingUser->update([
                'password' => Hash::make($this->password)
            ]);
            $this->isPasswordChanged = true;
            $this->wrongEmail = false;
        }
        else {
            $this->wrongEmail = true;
        }
    }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

User Profile

You have the option to edit the current logged in user's profile information (name, email, profile picture) and password. To access this page, just click the "Profile" link in the left sidebar or add /profile in the URL.

The app/Http/Livewire/Profile.php handles the update of the user information and password.

    public function mount() { $this->user = auth()->user(); }

    public function save()
    {
        $this->validate();

        $this->user->save();

        $this->showSavedAlert = true;

        }
    }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you input the wrong data when editing the profile, don't worry. Validation rules have been added to prevent this.

    protected $rules = [
        'user.first_name' => 'max:15',
        'user.last_name' => 'max:20',
        'user.birthday' => 'date_format:Y-m-d',
        'user.email' => 'email',
        'user.phone' => 'numeric',
        'user.gender' => '',
        'user.address' => 'max:20',
        'user.number' => 'numeric',
        'user.city' => 'max:20',
        'user.zip' => 'numeric',
    ];
