Manually register a user in Laravel

Question

Is it possible to manually register a user (with artisan?) rather than via the auth registration page?

I only need a handful of user accounts and wondered if there's a way to create these without having to set up the registration controllers and views.

Answer 1

I think you want to do this once-off, so there is no need for something fancy like creating an Artisan command etc. I would suggest to simply use php artisan tinker (great tool!) and add the following commands per user:

$user = new App\User(); $user->password = Hash::make('the-password-of-choice'); $user->email = '[email protected]'; $user->name = 'My Name'; $user->save(); 

Answer 2

This is an old post, but if anyone wants to do it with command line, in Laravel 5.*, this is an easy way:

php artisan tinker 

then type (replace with your data):

DB::table('users')->insert(['name'=>'MyUsername','email'=>'[email protected]','password'=>Hash::make('123456')])
