• Step 1 – Install New Laravel Application Setup
• Step 2 – Configure Database Details
• Step 3 – Create Routes
• Step 4 – Create Controller & Methods
• Step 5 – Create Blade Views
• Step 6 – Start Development Server

Step 1 – Install New Laravel Application Setup

First of all, you need to install or download the laravel fresh setup. So execute the following command on terminal to download fresh new laravel setup:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel Blog

Step 2 – Configure Database Details

After successfully installing laravel application; Then visit your laravel app directory and open .env file. And add database credentials:

 DB_CONNECTION=mysql
 DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
 DB_PORT=3306
 DB_DATABASE=here your database name here
 DB_USERNAME=here database username here
 DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

Next, migrate the table into the database using the below command :

php artisan migrate

Step 3 – Create Routes

Create custom login registration and dashboard; So visit your laravel application directory and open routes/web.php file and add the following routes into it:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\CustomAuthController;


/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
*/

Route::get('dashboard', [CustomAuthController::class, 'dashboard']);
Route::get('login', [CustomAuthController::class, 'index'])->name('login');
Route::post('custom-login', [CustomAuthController::class, 'customLogin'])->name('login.custom');
Route::get('registration', [CustomAuthController::class, 'registration'])->name('register-user');
Route::post('custom-registration', [CustomAuthController::class, 'customRegistration'])->name('register.custom');
Route::get('signout', [CustomAuthController::class, 'signOut'])->name('signout');

Step 4 – Create Controller and Method

Execute the following command on terminal to controller file; which name CustomAuthController.php:

php artisan make:controller CustomAuthController

Then visit app/controllers/ directory and open CustomAuthController.php and update the below code in your controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Hash;
use Session;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class CustomAuthController extends Controller
{

    public function index()
    {
        return view('auth.login');
    }


    public function customLogin(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'email' => 'required',
            'password' => 'required',
        ]);

        $credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');
        if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
            return redirect()->intended('dashboard')
                        ->withSuccess('Signed in');
        }

        return redirect("login")->withSuccess('Login details are not valid');
    }



    public function registration()
    {
        return view('auth.registration');
    }


    public function customRegistration(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'name' => 'required',
            'email' => 'required|email|unique:users',
            'password' => 'required|min:6',
        ]);

        $data = $request->all();
        $check = $this->create($data);

        return redirect("dashboard")->withSuccess('You have signed-in');
    }


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


    public function dashboard()
    {
        if(Auth::check()){
            return view('dashboard');
        }

        return redirect("login")->withSuccess('You are not allowed to access');
    }


    public function signOut() {
        Session::flush();
        Auth::logout();

        return Redirect('login');
    }
}

Step 5 – Create Blade views

Create auth folder inside resources/views/ folder and create a new login.blade.php file, registration.blade.php and dashboard.blade.php inside resources/views/ Auth directory.

Now you can create login.blade.php file inside resources/views/ Auth and update the below code into your file:

@extends('app')

@section('content')
<main class="login-form">
    <div class="cotainer">
        <div class="row justify-content-center">
            <div class="col-md-4">
                <div class="card">
                    <h3 class="card-header text-center">Login</h3>
                    <div class="card-body">
                        <form method="POST" action="{{ route('login.custom') }}">
                            @csrf
                            <div class="form-group mb-3">
                                <input type="text" placeholder="Email" id="email" class="form-control" name="email" required
                                    autofocus>
                                @if ($errors->has('email'))
                                <span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('email') }}</span>
                                @endif
                            </div>

                            <div class="form-group mb-3">
                                <input type="password" placeholder="Password" id="password" class="form-control" name="password" required>
                                @if ($errors->has('password'))
                                <span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('password') }}</span>
                                @endif
                            </div>

                            <div class="form-group mb-3">
                                <div class="checkbox">
                                    <label>
                                        <input type="checkbox" name="remember"> Remember Me
                                    </label>
                                </div>
                            </div>

                            <div class="d-grid mx-auto">
                                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-dark btn-block">Signin</button>
                            </div>
                        </form>

                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</main>
@endsection

Then create registration.blade.php file inside resources/views/ Auth and update the below code into your file

@extends('app')

@section('content')
<main class="signup-form">
    <div class="cotainer">
        <div class="row justify-content-center">
            <div class="col-md-4">
                <div class="card">
                    <h3 class="card-header text-center">Register User</h3>
                    <div class="card-body">

                        <form action="{{ route('register.custom') }}" method="POST">
                            @csrf
                            <div class="form-group mb-3">
                                <input type="text" placeholder="Name" id="name" class="form-control" name="name"
                                    required autofocus>
                                @if ($errors->has('name'))
                                <span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('name') }}</span>
                                @endif
                            </div>

                            <div class="form-group mb-3">
                                <input type="text" placeholder="Email" id="email_address" class="form-control"
                                    name="email" required autofocus>
                                @if ($errors->has('email'))
                                <span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('email') }}</span>
                                @endif
                            </div>

                            <div class="form-group mb-3">
                                <input type="password" placeholder="Password" id="password" class="form-control"
                                    name="password" required>
                                @if ($errors->has('password'))
                                <span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('password') }}</span>
                                @endif
                            </div>

                            <div class="form-group mb-3">
                                <div class="checkbox">
                                    <label><input type="checkbox" name="remember"> Remember Me</label>
                                </div>
                            </div>

                            <div class="d-grid mx-auto">
                                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-dark btn-block">Sign up</button>
                            </div>
                        </form>

                    </div>

</main>
@endsection
