How to send mail after Laravel 5 default registration?

Question

I'm noob in Laravel and working with Laravel 5. For user registration and and login, I want to use default system of laravel. But, need to extend it with two following features:

1. User will get an email just after registration.
2. Upon saving of user registration, I need to make an entry in another role table (I've used Entrust package for role management)

How to do these things?

Answer 1

You can modify Laravel 5 default registrar located in app/services

<?php namespace App\Services;      use App\User;     use Validator;     use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Registrar as RegistrarContract;     use Mail;      class Registrar implements RegistrarContract {          /**          * Get a validator for an incoming registration request.          *          * @param  array  $data          * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator          */         public function validator(array $data)         {             return Validator::make($data, [                 'name' => 'required|max:255',                 'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',                 'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:6'             ]);         }          /**          * Create a new user instance after a valid registration.          *          * @param  array  $data          * @return User          */         public function create(array $data)         {             $user = User::create([                 'name' => $data['name'],                 'email' => $data['email'],                 'password' => \Hash::make($data['password']),                 //generates a random string that is 20 characters long                 'verification_code' => str_random(20)             ]);  //do your role stuffs here              //send verification mail to user             //---------------------------------------------------------             $data['verification_code']  = $user->verification_code;              Mail::send('emails.welcome', $data, function($message) use ($data)             {                 $message->from('[email protected]', "Site name");                 $message->subject("Welcome to site name");                 $message->to($data['email']);             });               return $user;         }      } 

Inside resources/emails/welcome.blade.php

Hey {{$name}}, Welcome to our website. <br> Please click <a href="{!! url('/verify', ['code'=>$verification_code]) !!}"> Here</a> to confirm email 

NB: You need to create route/controller for verify

Laravel has an empty method named registered in Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\RegistersUsers trait to simplify this operation, just override it as following:

First add a new Notification:

<?php  namespace App\Notifications;  use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage; use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;  class UserRegisteredNotification extends Notification {      public function __construct($user) {         $this->user = $user;     }      public function via($notifiable) {         return ['mail'];     }      public function toMail($notifiable) {         return (new MailMessage)             ->success()             ->subject('Welcome')             ->line('Dear ' . $this->user->name . ', we are happy to see you here.')             ->action('Go to site', url('/'))             ->line('Please tell your friends about us.');     }  } 

Add this use line to your RegisterController.php:

use Illuminate\Http\Request; use App\Notifications\UserRegisteredNotification; 

and add this method:

protected function registered(Request $request, $user) {     $user->notify(new UserRegisteredNotification($user)); } 

You are done.
