Below is an AuthController I'm using in a project (repo) that uses Sanctum that may be useful to you as an example. In the register method, we see the following code to create the new user (i.e. register them):
$user = User::create([
'name' => $request->name,
'email' => $request->email,
'password' => \Hash::make($request->password)
]);You should be able to update this to include any additional field data you need.
Note that in this example I'm using a method called "mass assignment" to generate a new model - https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/eloquent#mass-assignment. This is slightly different than the approach shown in lecture, and requires you update the corresponding model so it has a fillable property with a list of all the fields that can be filled via mass assignment.
For example, imagine I wanted to also track city with my users. My creation code would look like this:
$user = User::create([
'name' => $request->name,
'email' => $request->email,
'password' => \Hash::make($request->password)
'city' => $request->city;
]);And my User Model would have the fillable property updated to look like this:
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password', 'city'
];Of course, you'd also want to update your users migration to include a city field.
Here's the full AuthController.php:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use App\Models\User;
use Validator;
use Session;
class AuthController extends Controller
{
/**
* POST /auth
* When the client is first mounted, it pings this route to check its authentication status
*/
public function auth(Request $request)
{
$response = [
'success' => true,
'authenticated' => $request->user() ? true : false,
'user' => $request->user(),
];
return response($response, 200);
}
/**
* POST /login
*/
public function login(Request $request)
{
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required'
]);
if ($validator->fails()) {
return response([
'success' => false,
'errors' => $validator->errors()->all()
], 200);
}
$authed = Auth::attempt([
'email' => $request->email,
'password' => $request->password
]);
if ($authed) {
$response = [
'success' => true,
'authenticated' => true,
'user' => User::where('email', $request->email)->first(),
];
} else {
$response = [
'success' => false,
'errors' => ['These credentials do not match our records'],
'test' => 'login-failed-bad-credentials'
];
}
return response($response, 200);
}
/**
* POST /register
*/
public function register(Request $request)
{
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'name' => 'required|string|max:255',
'email' => 'required|string|email|max:255|unique:users',
'password' => 'required|string|min:8'
]);
if ($validator->fails()) {
return response([
'success' => false,
'errors' => $validator->errors()->all(),
'test' => 'registration-failed'
], 200);
}
$user = User::create([
'name' => $request->name,
'email' => $request->email,
'password' => \Hash::make($request->password)
]);
Auth::login($user);
$response = [
'success' => true,
'user' => $user,
];
return response($response, 200);
}
/**
* POST /logout
*/
public function logout(Request $request)
{
Session::flush();
return response([
'success' => true,
'authenticated' => false,
], 200);
}
/**
* GET /login-as/{user_id}
*/
public function loginAs(Request $request, $user_id)
{
if (!Str::contains(getRootDomain(), '.loc')) {
return response([
'success' => false,
'errors' => ['This functionality is only accessible when run from a .loc domain'],
], 200);
}
$user = User::find($user_id);
if (!$user) {
return response([
'success' => false,
'errors' => ['User ' . $user_id . ' not found'],
], 200);
} else {
Auth::login($user, $remember = true);
return response([
'success' => true,
'errors' => null,
'user' => $user,
], 200);
;
}
}

Hello Everyone,
I have implemented the authentication plugin (sanctum) into my project. I am having difficulty understanding how to customize the information the registration form gathers. Right now I know that the authentication middleware is controlled from
app/Http/Middlewarebut that doesn't have much detail. There is another locationvendor/laravel/sanctumwhich has much of what I think makes the authentication app work. What I am specifically looking for is to collect more info on the registration form like address, city, state, zip, etc. I believe if I change things under vendor those changes get wiped if I update or upgrade the application and also wouldn't carry over if this app was redeployed so I know that changing anything under vendor is not the correct action. I just don't understand how to customize the data collection yet. Can anyone help?
