Call to a member function hasVerifiedEmail() on null - laravel

Question

I am using Laravel 7 and I am trying to verify my email I have followed all the steps mentioned in the documentation but I am still getting this error please me to resolve this error, Thanks
I added the user model code here
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail
{
use Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'password', 'permissions'
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be cast to native types.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
}
here is web.php
Auth::routes(['verify'=> true]);
Route::prefix('student')->middleware(['auth', 'verified'])->group(function () {
Route::get('dashboard', 'StudentController#dashboard');
});

Answer 1

The $request is sending a null value because you need to be logged in (authenticated) in order to get an instance of the $user

Answer 2

Make sure you have a middleware of auth on your route
Assigning Middleware To Routes:
Route::get('admin/profile', function () {
//
})->middleware('auth');
or Middleware Groups:
Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth']], function () {
Route::get('admin/profile', function(){
//your function here
});
});

only users logged could acheave the function hasVerifiedEmail() , because of that you get the response : Call to a member function hasVerifiedEmail() on null ,
to fix that issue you have to customise show function in VerificationController.php
public function show(Request $request)
{
//login user
if (auth()->user())
{
return $request->user()->hasVerifiedEmail()
? redirect($this->redirectPath())
: view('auth.verify');
}
//guest
else
{
return $request->user()
? redirect($this->redirectPath())
: redirect('/login');
}
}
