Hello friends,

Today I will discuss the custom email verification system in laravel 9 . You can understand the concept of laravel 9 auth verify email. laravel 9 email verification tutorial step by step. I explained simply step by step laravel 9 auth verify email. Let's see bellow example laravel 9 authentication email verification.

laravel old version we are doing the email verification process manually, but in laravel 9 they provide in build email verification setup for new registered users to must have to verify their email before proceed. You just need to make some basic setup with a need to use middleware, routes, and mail configuration.

You are just following my steps and you will set up for email verification in laravel 9 project.

Let us begin the tutorial by installing a new laravel application. if you have already created the project, then skip following step.

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

This step to configure your database details in .env file.So let's create username, password etc. So let's add.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=Enter_Your_Database_Name
DB_USERNAME=Enter_Your_Database_Username
DB_PASSWORD=Enter_Your_Database_Password

After added database configuration then run the default migrations of laravel 9 by following command:

php artisan migrate

You need to add email configuration in .env file.Because We are sending email after user registration so we need to add email smtp details for send email.

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=youremail@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=yourpass
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

You can follow my few step to install auth in your laravel 9 project.

First you need to laravel/ui package in your laravel project

composer require laravel/ui

Now you can use quick way to create registration, login and forgot password with routes by auth command, So simply run bellow command to create.

php artisan ui bootstrap --auth

Then later you need to run the npm command because you can see a better layout of the login and register page.

npm install

Run NPM:

npm run dev

This is a last step to the verification to the email setup so easily you have to add email verification class implementation in user model and use middleware for protection.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail
{
    use HasFactory, Notifiable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];
}

<?php

use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Auth::routes(['verify' => true]);
Route::get('/home', [HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('home');

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware(['auth','verified']);
    }

    /**
     * Show the application dashboard.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return view('home');
    }
}

It will help you...
