laravel 8 : send email verification after registration laravel - laravel

Question

I'm building a laravel API. I want when i register , email verify will be sent activation code to user email automatically.
the problem is when i create a new activation code , i create a new record in tokens table too, this record has user_id field , so for store it , i use JWTAuth::user()->id but i have this error:
Trying to get property 'id' of non-object
i know why this happens , because I did not enter any tokens and i don't know how handle it and where to create a new record in tokens table
for more details I have :
AuthController : Login and register
public function register(Request $request) {
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'name'=>'required|string|min:3|max:30',
'email' => 'required|string|email|max:100|unique:users',
'password' => 'required|string|confirmed|min:6',
]);
if($validator->fails()){
return response()->json($validator->errors()->toJson(), 400);
}
$user = User::create(array_merge(
$validator->validated(),
['password' => bcrypt($request->password)],
));
$token = JWTAuth::fromUser($user);
dd($this->sendNotification());
$user->$this->sendNotification();
return response()->json([
'message' => 'successfully created',
'user' => $user,
'token' => $token,
], 201);
}
EmailVerifyController : for verify user email and validate activation code
public function emailVerify(Request $request){
$data = $request->validate([
'code' => 'required|size:10|numeric',
]);
$interedCode = (int)$data['code'];//convert code from string to integer
$userCode = Token::where('user_id' , JWTAuth::user()->id)->first();//find user from tokens table
$activationCode = $userCode->code; //get activation code of user in tokens table
$expires_in = (int)$userCode->expires_in; //get expire time of code
$now = Carbon::now()->timestamp;
if($interedCode == $activationCode) {
if ($now < $expires_in) {
$user = JWTAuth::user()->id;
$findUser = User::find($user);
$findUser->email_verified_at = Carbon::now()->timestamp;
$findUser->save();
$token = Token::where('user_id', JWTAuth::user()->id)->first();
$token->status = 1;
$token->save();
return response()->json('email verified successfully', 200);
} else {
return response()->json('code expired', 400);
}
}else{
return response()->json('wrong activation code' , 400);
}
}
SendNotificationTrait : for send email and create a new record in token table
trait EmailVerifyTrait
{
public function sendNotification(){
$random = $this->generateVerificationCode(6);
$details = [
'title' => 'Mail from ItSolutionStuff.com',
'body' =>$random,
];
Mail::to('*****#gmail.com')->send(new VerifyMail($details));
return response()->json([
'message'=>'your email verification code sent to your email'
] , 201);
}
public function generateVerificationCode($length = 6) {
$characters = '0123456789';
$charactersLength = strlen($characters);
$code = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
$code .= $characters[rand(0, $charactersLength - 1)];
}
$token = new Token();
$token->user_id = JWTAuth::user()->id;
$token->code = $code;
$token->status = 0;
$token->save();
return $code;
}
tokens tables : has this fields : user_id , code , created_at , expires_in
so how can i handle creating new Token record in tokens table ?
or should i use event listener ?
thank you for your help and sorry for my language.

Answer 1

for handle this email verification , i used laravel Notification : https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/notifications
and i used $user->id for getting id and use it for user_id field in tokens table.
codes:
Register method
use ActivationCode;
public function register(Request $request) {
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'name'=>'required|string|min:3|max:30',
'email' => 'required|string|email|max:100|unique:users',
'password' => 'required|string|confirmed|min:6',
]);
if($validator->fails()){
return response()->json($validator->errors()->toJson(), 400);
}
//create user
$user = User::create(array_merge(
$validator->validated(),
['password' => bcrypt($request->password)],
));
//create token
$token = JWTAuth::fromUser($user);
//create a new activation code
$activationCode = $this->generateVerificationCode();
//create a new token
$newToken = new Token;
$newToken->code = $activationCode;
$newToken->status = 0;
$newToken->user_id = $user->id;
$newToken->save();
//email details
$details = [
'greeting' => 'Hi'.$request->name,
'body' => 'use this activation code for verify your email address',
'activation_code'=>$newToken->code,
'thanks' => 'thank you',
'order_id' => 101
];
//send email verify to user email
Notification::send($user, new EmailVerification($details));
return response()->json([
'message' => 'use created successfully and activation code sent to email',
'user' => $user,
'token' => $token,
], 201);
}
Activation code trait:
trait ActivationCode
{
public function generateVerificationCode($length = 6) {
$characters = '0123456789';
$charactersLength = strlen($characters);
$code = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
$code .= $characters[rand(0, $charactersLength - 1)];
}
return $code;
}
}
EmailVerify Notification :
class EmailVerification extends Notification
{
use Queueable;
private $details;
public function __construct($details){
$this->details = $details;
}
public function via($notifiable)
{
return ['mail'];
}
public function toMail($notifiable)
{
return (new MailMessage)
->greeting($this->details['greeting'])
->line($this->details['body'])
->line($this->details['thanks'])
->line($this->details['activation_code']);
}
public function toArray($notifiable)
{
return [
'order_id' => $this->details['order_id']
];
}
}
