Laravel custom login and registration authentication

In this post, we will learn how to create custom authentication login and registration in the Laravel.

Laravel Login and register API

First install laravel , create new application and config it with database

How to Install Laravel

Create AuthController using below command

php artisan make:controller AuthController

Create Register function in AuthController

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

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

class AuthController extends Controller
{
  public function register(Request $request)
    {
        try {
            //Validation
            $validateUser = Validator::make($request->all(), 
            [
                'name' => 'required',
                'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email',
                'password' => 'required'
            ]);

            if($validateUser->fails()){
                return response()->json([
                    'status' => false,
                    'message' => 'validation error',
                    'errors' => $validateUser->errors()
                ], 401);
            }

            $user = User::create([
                'name' => $request->name,
                'email' => $request->email,
                'password' => Hash::make($request->password)
            ]);

            return response()->json([
                'status' => true,
                'message' => 'Register Successfully',
                'token' => $user->createToken("API TOKEN")->plainTextToken
            ], 200);

        } catch (\Throwable $th) {
            return response()->json([
                'status' => false,
                'message' => $th->getMessage()
            ], 500);
        }
    }
}

Add register route in api.php

use App\Http\Controllers\AuthController;
Route::post('/register', [AuthController::class, 'register']);

Now check Register API using postman

Now Create login function in Authcontroller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
class AuthController extends Controller
{
  public function login(Request $request)
    {
        try {
            $validateUser = Validator::make($request->all(), 
            [
                'email' => 'required|email',
                'password' => 'required'
            ]);

            if($validateUser->fails()){
                return response()->json([
                    'status' => false,
                    'message' => 'validation error',
                    'errors' => $validateUser->errors()
                ], 401);
            }

            if(!Auth::attempt($request->only(['email', 'password']))){
                return response()->json([
                    'status' => false,
                    'message' => 'Invalid Email or Password',
                ], 401);
            }

            $user = User::where('email', $request->email)->first();

            return response()->json([
                'status' => true,
                'message' => 'User Successfully Logged In',
                'token' => $user->createToken("API TOKEN")->plainTextToken
            ], 200);

        } catch (\Throwable $th) {
            return response()->json([
                'status' => false,
                'message' => $th->getMessage()
            ], 500);
        }
    }
}

Create Login route in api.php

use App\Http\Controllers\AuthController;
Route::post('/login', [AuthController::class, 'login']);

Now check login api using postman

Complete api.php and AuthController.php code

Api.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\AuthController;

Route::post('/register', [AuthController::class, 'register']);
Route::post('/login', [AuthController::class, 'login']);

AuthController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

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

class AuthController extends Controller
{
    public function register(Request $request)
    {
        try {
            //Validation
            $validateUser = Validator::make($request->all(), 
            [
                'name' => 'required',
                'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email',
                'password' => 'required'
            ]);

            if($validateUser->fails()){
                return response()->json([
                    'status' => false,
                    'message' => 'validation error',
                    'errors' => $validateUser->errors()
                ], 401);
            }

            $user = User::create([
                'name' => $request->name,
                'email' => $request->email,
                'password' => Hash::make($request->password)
            ]);

            return response()->json([
                'status' => true,
                'message' => 'Register Successfully',
                'token' => $user->createToken("API TOKEN")->plainTextToken
            ], 200);

        } catch (\Throwable $th) {
            return response()->json([
                'status' => false,
                'message' => $th->getMessage()
            ], 500);
        }
    }


    public function login(Request $request)
    {
        try {
            $validateUser = Validator::make($request->all(), 
            [
                'email' => 'required|email',
                'password' => 'required'
            ]);

            if($validateUser->fails()){
                return response()->json([
                    'status' => false,
                    'message' => 'validation error',
                    'errors' => $validateUser->errors()
                ], 401);
            }

            if(!Auth::attempt($request->only(['email', 'password']))){
                return response()->json([
                    'status' => false,
                    'message' => 'Invalid Email or Password',
                ], 401);
            }

            $user = User::where('email', $request->email)->first();

            return response()->json([
                'status' => true,
                'message' => 'User Successfully Logged In',
                'token' => $user->createToken("API TOKEN")->plainTextToken
            ], 200);

        } catch (\Throwable $th) {
            return response()->json([
                'status' => false,
                'message' => $th->getMessage()
            ], 500);
        }
    }
}
