About `resend()` method in `RegisterController.php`

[zwl1619]

There is a resend() method in \app\Http\Controllers\Auth\RegisterController.php:

    public function resend(UserRepository $userRepository, Request $request)
    {
        if ($request->session()->has('user_id')) {
            $user = $userRepository->getById($request->session()->get('user_id'));

            $this->notifyUser($user);

            return redirect('/')->with('ok', trans('front/verify.resend'));
        }

        return redirect('/');
    }

I don't understand $request->session()->has('user_id') . When is there user_id in session and when is there no user_id in session?

Hi, If you look at login method in LoginController you'll see where this session value is created. It's when a user want to login but is not confirmed, so the id is stocked in session and there is a redirection on login page with a special message and a button to resend url. We need id to notify the user.
