How to make login and register in Laravel 9

Creating login and registration functionality in Laravel 9 can be done quickly using laravel/ui package, a simple and minimal authentication package provided by Laravel. Here are the steps to set up login and registration:

Step 1: Set Up Laravel Project

Ensure you have a Laravel 9 project set up. If not, create one using the following commands:

composer create-project laravel/laravel project-laravel9

cd project-laravel9

Step 2: Set Up Database

• Open the .env file in the root directory of your Laravel project.
• Update the database configuration to match your database setup:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=your_database_name
DB_USERNAME=your_database_user
DB_PASSWORD=your_database_password

• Run the migrations to create the necessary tables:

php artisan migrate

Step 3: Install Laravel UI

After Installing Laravel 9 we need to install laravel/ui package in order to generate authentication in laravel 9.

• To install run the composer command:

composer require laravel/ui

• After composer installation run artisan command to generate scaffolding:

// Generate basic scaffolding...
php artisan ui bootstrap

// Generate login / registration scaffolding...
php artisan ui bootstrap --auth

• After generating UI need to install npm dependencies.

npm install

npm run dev

• Run the migrations to set up the authentication tables:

php artisan migrate

Step 4: Test Authentication

• Start the development server:

php artisan serve

• Visit http://localhost:8000/register to register a new user.
• Visit http://localhost:8000/login to log in with the registered user.

The output will look like:

Happy coding!
