Episode 6: Password Reset and Email
- Move Login/Logout link to the navbar
- Add password help link to login page
- Configure .env to work with mailtrap.io
- Add value to from so that there is a sent from value. Good idea to use
env('FROM_EMAIL') - Modify route file with the following
// Password reset link request routes
Route::get('password/email', 'AuthPasswordController@getEmail');
Route::post('password/email', 'AuthPasswordController@postEmail');
// Password reset routes...
Route::get('password/reset/{token}', 'AuthPasswordController@getReset');
Route::post('password/reset', 'AuthPasswordController@postReset');- Review /Http/Controllers/Auth/PasswordController.php and add the following
use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use IlluminateMailMessage;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesPassword;
use DB;
protected $redirectTo = '/';
public function getEmail() {
// code here
}
public function postEmail(Request $request) {
// code here
}
public function getReset($token) {
// code here
}- postReset() is already configured and does not need modification for this demo
- Create view files
- auth/password.blade.php
- auth/reset.blade.php
- emails/password.blade.php
- Review /config/auth.php file. Look at the emails.password setting
