This package allows you to verify account emails in Laravel using the same pattern as password resets.
DEPRECATED: Email verification was implemented in the Laravel Framework for the release of 5.7 - if you're using 5.7 or above this package is unnecessary and if you're using a release below 5.6 it's no longer officially supported and you shouldn't be. This package will no longer be maintained.
This package is installable with Composer via Packagist.
Add the following to config/auth.php:
'verify_emails' => [
'users' => [
'provider' => 'users',
'email' => 'auth.emails.verify',
'table' => 'email_tokens',
'expire' => 60,
],
],Change the passwords.users.table setting to email_tokens too, allowing password reset and email verification tokens to use the same table. Alternatively, create a new table for the email verification tokens using the same definitions as your password resets table and configure the above accordingly.
Implement the LaravelVerifyEmails\Contracts\Auth\CanVerifyEmail contract in your App\User model and use the LaravelVerifyEmails\Auth\VerifyEmails\CanVerifyEmail trait to include the necessary methods. By default, a boolean column on your users table named verified is expected. This behaviour can be altered by overriding the methods in the trait.
Add the LaravelVerifyEmails\Auth\VerifyEmails\VerifyEmailServiceProvider::class service provider to the providers array in config/app.php.
Run php artisan make:verify-emails to generate views, routes and a controller. Alternatively, use the LaravelVerifyEmails\Foundation\Auth\VerifiesEmails trait in a controller of your choice.
Finally, call $user->unverify() to mark the user as unverified and send a verification token to their email address. To catch unverified users, replace the auth route middleware in App\Http\Kernel with \LaravelVerifyEmails\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateAndVerifyEmail::class. If you'd rather use your own middleware, or want to check if a user is verified elsewhere, call $user->isVerified().
