Default password in Laravel - laravel

Question

I would like to configure a default password because in the project I am working on, It is the admin who is to create accounts for users.
Of course, if a put a default value on my model, It will not hash the password. How else can I approach this
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
$table->string('POBox');
$table->string('password');
$table->rememberToken();
$table->unsignedBigInteger('address_id')->index();
$table->unsignedInteger('role_id');
$table->timestamps();
$table->foreign('address_id')->references('id')->on('addresses');
});
}

Answer 1

Have the Admin only create the user and then email the New user a password reset.
Form:
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('admin.user.store') }}" class="bg-white shadow-md rounded px-8 pt-6 pb-8 mb-4">
#csrf
<div class="form-group">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<label for="first_name" class="no-pad-left col-form-label white-txt muli w4">First Name</label>
<input id="first_name" type="text" class="form-control{{ $errors->has('first_name') ? ' is-invalid' : '' }}" name="first_name" placeholder="Enter First Name" value="{{ old('first_name') }}" required autofocus>
#if ($errors->has('first_name'))
<span class="invalid-feedback appearance-none block w-full bg-gray-200 text-gray-700 border border-red-500 rounded py-3 px-4 mb-3 leading-tight focus:outline-none focus:bg-white">
<strong>{{ $errors->first('first_name') }}</strong>
</span>
#endif
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<label for="last_name" class="no-pad-left col-form-label white-txt muli w4">Last Name</label>
<input id="last_name" type="text" class="form-control{{ $errors->has('last_name') ? ' is-invalid' : '' }}" name="last_name" placeholder="Enter Last Name" value="{{ old('last_name') }}" required autofocus>
#if ($errors->has('last_name'))
<span class="invalid-feedback appearance-none block w-full bg-gray-200 text-gray-700 border border-red-500 rounded py-3 px-4 mb-3 leading-tight focus:outline-none focus:bg-white">

#endif

<div class="form-group">

<input id="email" type="email" class="form-control{{ $errors->has('email') ? ' is-invalid' : '' }}" name="email" placeholder="Enter Email Address" value="{{ old('email') }}" required>
#if ($errors->has('email'))
<span class="invalid-feedback appearance-none block w-full bg-gray-200 text-gray-700 border border-red-500 rounded py-3 px-4 mb-3 leading-tight focus:outline-none focus:bg-white">

</div>
<div class="flex">

Create User
</button>
</div>
</form>
Controller
public function adminUserStore(Request $request){
$validatedData = $request->validate([
'first_name'=> 'required|string|max:255',
'last_name'=> 'required|string|max:255',
'email' => 'required|string|email|max:255|unique:users',
]);
$quickpass = substr( str_shuffle( str_repeat( 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789', 10 ) ), 0, 10 );
$adminName = Auth::user()->first_name.' '.Auth::user()->last_name;
$newuser = User::create([
'first_name'=> $request->first_name,
'last_name'=> $request->last_name,
'email' => $request->email,
'password' => Hash::make($quickpass),
'role_id' => '0',
'added_by' => $adminName,
]);
Mail::to($newuser->email)
->send(new NewUserPassReset(
$request->input('first_name'),
$request->input('last_name'),
$request->input('email')
));
return back()->with('success','The user has been created and a password reset email has been sent to them.');
}
You should be able to figure out the email part. Then in the email that is sent to the new user, include a link to the Reset Password route.
That's how I do it.

You can use default values in a Model.
User.php
public class User extends Model
{
protected $attributes = [
'password' => Hash::make(Str::random(40))
];
}
Str::random will give you a random 40-chars String. You can change this to anything you like.
Hash::make() will hash the String so Laravel can check the Hash when User tries to login.
