README

This package integrates an email confirmation into the default laravel authentification.

It is has been developed and tested for Laravel 5.5 but it should also work with other versions of Laravel.

Installation

Make use of composer to require this package.

The installation appends a function call in the routes/web.php file automatically. Please do not comment it out!

composer require tebros/laravel-email-confirmation

Run the make:auth command if not already done.

Skip this step if you have already executed the command in the past.

php artisan make:auth

Make a migration to create the needed table users_confirmation.

php artisan migrate

Edit the app/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisterController.php file.

The editing is quite simple. To hook into the default Laravel authentification prozess, you need to change the RegistersUsers trait at the top.

//comment out the line like this or just override it
//use RegistersUsers;

use \Tebros\EmailConfirmation\Traits\RegistersUsers; //use this trait instead of the default

Edit the app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php file.

It is required to display correct a message if the account is not confirmed.

//comment out the line like this or just override it
//use AuthenticatesUsers;

use \Tebros\EmailConfirmation\Traits\AuthenticatesUsers; //use this trait instead of the default

Make sure your config/mail.php file contains these important settings:

• MAIL_DRIVER
• MAIL_HOST
• MAIL_PORT
• MAIL_USERNAME, MAIL_PASSWORD
• MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS, MAIL_FROM_NAME

Moreover, make sure your config/app.php file contains these important settings:

• APP_NAME
• APP_URL

Configuration and Publishing

After the installation you can make use of the confirm route name to link the Resend Confirmation E-Mail site.

Important! You should edit your auth/login.blade.php view and add this link to request a new confirmation email!

<div class="form-group">
    <div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-4">
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">
            Login
        </button>

        <a class="btn btn-link" href="{{ route('password.request') }}">
            Forgot Your Password?
        </a>

        <a class="btn btn-link" href="{{ route('confirm') }}">
            Resend Confirmation Link?
        </a>
    </div>
</div>

If you want to configure the email confirmation, run the following command.

You can modify the config/emailconfirmation.php file as you wish.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=emailconfirmation-config

To change a message or text you can modify the files in the lang/vendor/emailconfirmation directory.

Run the following command to do this.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=emailconfirmation-translation

If you do not want to use the default Laravel views, you can modify the views in the views/vendor/emailconfirmation directory.

Run the following command to do this.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=emailconfirmation-views

Update

You can update the package by running the following command or update all of your dependencies with composer update.

composer update tebros/laravel-email-confirmation

If you want to update your published files like config/emailconfirmation.php, lang/vendor/emailconfirmation or views/vendor/emailconfirmation, you can use the following commands.

Attention! These commands will override your published files. So please backup your config, views or lang files if you do not want to lose them!

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=emailconfirmation-config --force
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=emailconfirmation-translation --force
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=emailconfirmation-views --force

Uninstallation

You should remove the following two lines in your routes/web.php file.

// Register routes for email confirmation. The uri is "/confirm"
Tebros\EmailConfirmation\Utils::routes();

Edit the app/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisterController.php file and the app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php file to remove the Laravel hook.

//remove the comment that the orifinal trait is used
use RegistersUsers;

//remove the whole line or comment it out
//use \Tebros\EmailConfirmation\Traits\RegistersUsers; 

//remove the comment that the orifinal trait is used
use AuthenticatesUsers;

//remove the whole line or comment it out
//use \Tebros\EmailConfirmation\Traits\AuthenticatesUsers; 

Now just type the following command.

composer remove tebros/laravel-email-confirmation
