Laravel 11 Custom Login and Registration Example

Last Updated on May 27, 2024 by

In Laravel 11, create custom routes, methods, forms and pages for login, register, home and logout user auth using built-in auth facade.

Here are the steps to help you create custom user registration and login authentication:

Step 1: Create Custom Auth Routes

In routes/web.php, create custom routes that handle authentication requests in application:

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\AuthController;
  
Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});
  
Route::get('login', [AuthController::class, 'index'])->name('login');
Route::post('post-login', [AuthController::class, 'postLogin'])->name('login.post'); 
Route::get('registration', [AuthController::class, 'registration'])->name('register');
Route::post('post-registration', [AuthController::class, 'postRegistration'])->name('register.post'); 
Route::get('dashboard', [AuthController::class, 'dashboard']); 
Route::get('logout', [AuthController::class, 'logout'])->name('logout');

Step 2: Create Controller

Run the php make:controller command to create controller for custom auth:

php artisan make:controller Auth/AuthController.php

Edit app/Http/Controllers/Auth/AuthController.php controller file, and create custom login and registration methods into it to handle custom authentication:

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Session;
use App\Models\User;
use Hash;
use Illuminate\View\View;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;
  
class AuthController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index(): View
    {
        return view('auth.login');
    }  
      
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function registration(): View
    {
        return view('auth.registration');
    }
      
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function postLogin(Request $request): RedirectResponse
    {
        $request->validate([
            'email' => 'required',
            'password' => 'required',
        ]);
   
        $credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');
        if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
            return redirect()->intended('dashboard')
                        ->withSuccess('You have Successfully loggedin');
        }
  
        return redirect("login")->withError('Oppes! You have entered invalid credentials');
    }
      
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function postRegistration(Request $request): RedirectResponse
    {  
        $request->validate([
            'name' => 'required',
            'email' => 'required|email|unique:users',
            'password' => 'required|min:6',
        ]);
           
        $data = $request->all();
        $user = $this->create($data);
            
        Auth::login($user); 

        return redirect("dashboard")->withSuccess('Great! You have Successfully loggedin');
    }
    
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function dashboard()
    {
        if(Auth::check()){
            return view('dashboard');
        }
  
        return redirect("login")->withSuccess('Opps! You do not have access');
    }
    
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function create(array $data)
    {
      return User::create([
        'name' => $data['name'],
        'email' => $data['email'],
        'password' => Hash::make($data['password'])
      ]);
    }
    
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function logout(): RedirectResponse
    {
        Session::flush();
        Auth::logout();
  
        return Redirect('login');
    }
}

Step 3: Create Login and Registration Form

Create login.blade.php file in resources/views/auth/ directory, and create login form into it:

<!DOCTYPE html>

  <meta charset="utf-8">

            <h2 class="fs-6 fw-normal text-center text-secondary mb-4">Sign in to your account</h2>
            <form method="POST" action="{{ route('login.post') }}">
              @csrf

              @session('error')
                  <div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert"> 
                      {{ $value }}

                          <strong>{{ $message }}</strong>
                      </span>

                  @enderror
                </div>
                <div class="col-12">
                  <div class="d-flex gap-2 justify-content-between">
                    <div class="form-check">

            </form>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</section>

</body>
</html>

Step 4: Create Dashboard Page

Create dasboard.blade.php page in resources/views directory, and add the following code in it:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <title>Laravel 11 Custom Dashboard Page - ItcodStuff.com</title>
    <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" crossorigin="anonymous">
  </head>
<body>
    
<main>
  <div class="container py-4">
    <header class="pb-3 mb-4 border-bottom">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-11">
                <a href="/" class="d-flex align-items-center text-dark text-decoration-none">
                    <img src="#" alt="BootstrapBrain Logo" width="300">
                </a>          
            </div>
            <div class="col-md-1">
                <a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ route('logout') }}"
                   onclick="event.preventDefault();
                                 document.getElementById('logout-form').submit();">
                    {{ __('Logout') }}
                </a>

                <form id="logout-form" action="{{ route('logout') }}" method="POST" class="d-none">
                    @csrf
                </form>
            </div>
        </div>
      
    </header>

    <div class="p-5 mb-4 bg-light rounded-3">
      <div class="container-fluid py-5">

        @session('success')
            <div class="alert alert-success" role="alert"> 
              {{ $value }}
            </div>
        @endsession

        <h1 class="display-5 fw-bold">Hi, {{ auth()->user()->name }}</h1>
        <p class="col-md-8 fs-4">Welcome to dashboard.<br/>Using a series of utilities, you can create this jumbotron, just like the one in previous versions of Bootstrap. Check out the examples below for how you can remix and restyle it to your liking.</p>
        <button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" type="button">Dashboard</button>
      </div>
    </div>

  </div>
</main>

</body>
</html>

Step 5: Test Custom Auth Application

Start development server by running the php artisan serve command:

php artisan serve

Type the http://127.0.0.1:8000/login url on browser to test custom user login and registration application.
