Simple User Registration with Laravel Fortify

Step 1: Install Laravel and Fortify

First, create a new Laravel project and install Fortify.

composer create-project laravel/laravel fortify-app
cd fortify-app
composer require laravel/fortify

Step 2: Configure Fortify

Publish Fortify’s configuration file and set up the service provider.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravel\Fortify\FortifyServiceProvider"
php artisan fortify:install

Register Fortify in config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    // Other Service Providers
    App\Providers\FortifyServiceProvider::class,
],

Step 3: Define Registration Logic

In app/Actions/Fortify/CreateNewUser.php, customize the user registration logic to include fields like name, email, and password.

public function create(array $input)
{
    Validator::make($input, [
        'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
        'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email', 'max:255', 'unique:users'],
        'password' => ['required', 'string', 'min:8', 'confirmed'],
    ])->validate();

    return User::create([
        'name' => $input['name'],
        'email' => $input['email'],
        'password' => Hash::make($input['password']),
    ]);
}

Step 4: Create the Registration Form

In resources/views, create a new Blade file named register.blade.php and include fields for name, email, and password.

<form method="POST" action="{{ route('register') }}">
    @csrf
    <div>
        <label for="name">Name</label>
        <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required>
    </div>
    <div>
        <label for="email">Email</label>
        <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>
    </div>
    <div>
        <label for="password">Password</label>
        <input type="password" id="password" name="password" required>
    </div>
    <button type="submit">Register</button>
</form>

Step 5: Test the Registration Flow

Run the Laravel server and visit the registration route to test the flow.

php artisan serve

Visit http://localhost:8000/register to try out user registration.
