Register

A new account can be created by a user with the help of the Create account button from the login page or the Register button from the top navabar. The user must provide the name, email, the user type - by default Admin, Author or Member - and a password.

The App\Http\Controllers\RegisterController handles the user's registration.


protected function create(array $data)
{
    return User::create([
        'name' => $data['name'],
        'email' => $data['email'],
        'role_id' => $data['user_type'],
        'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
    ]);
}

The data introduced by the user is validated because the account needs a valid email address and the password and password confirmation to match.


protected function validator(array $data)
{
    return Validator::make($data, [
        'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
        'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email', 'max:255', 'unique:users'],
        'user_type' => ['required'],
        'password' => ['required', 'string', 'min:6', 'confirmed'],
    ]);
}
