We need an authentication system for keeping our application private. Making authentication in Laravel is quite easy. It has a built-in solution for authentication and various facility to customize it according to our requirements. If you are new in Laravel 9 then in this post I’ll show you the step-by-step process for making an authentication system in Laravel 9. Let’s follow the step-by-step process for making an authentication system in Laravel 9.
1. Install Laravel Project
First, open Terminal and run the following command to create a fresh laravel project:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel9-auth
or, if you have installed the Laravel Installer as a global composer dependency:
laravel new laravel9-auth
2. Configure Database Details:
After, Installation Go to the project root directory, open .env file, and set database detail as follow:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=<DATABASE NAME>
DB_USERNAME=<DATABASE USERNAME>
DB_PASSWORD=<DATABASE PASSWORD>
Now run the database migration command:
php artisan migrate
3: Create Auth using scaffold
Now, in this step, we will create auth scaffold command to create a login, register, and dashboard.
composer require laravel/ui
Generate basic scaffolding and login and registration for bootstrap
php artisan ui bootstrap
php artisan ui bootstrap --auth
Generate basic scaffolding and login and registration for Vue
php artisan ui vue
php artisan ui vue --auth
Generate basic scaffolding and login and registration for react
php artisan ui react
php artisan ui react --auth
Generate basic scaffolding
php artisan ui bootstrap
php artisan ui vue
php artisan ui react
Generate login / registration scaffolding
php artisan ui bootstrap --auth
php artisan ui vue --auth
php artisan ui react --auth
4: Install NPM dependencies
Run this following command to install node dependency and compile CSS and js files:
npm install && npm run dev
5. Test the authentication system
