How to create a user in Laravel? - laravel

Question

I am creating a CMS App where the user should register first.
I created a RegisterController where I define index() method which returns the view register.blade.php!
When the user clicks Register button, the request should pass to create() method alongside /register URL and create a user.
Since, I already defined that /register should open register.blade.php, then how can I run another method to create a user under the same URL?
I also don't want to use php artisan make:controller RegisterController --resource.
RegisterController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Authentication;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class RegisterController extends Controller
{
public function index() {
return view('auth.register');
}
protected function validator(array $data) {
return $data->validate([
'fname' => 'required|string|max:255',
'lame' => 'required|string|max:255',
'email' => 'required|string|email|max:255|unique:users',
'password' => 'required|string|min:6',
]);
}
protected function create(Request $request) {
$this->validator($request->all)->validate();
}
}
register.blade.php

Answer 1

Why not use Laravel Auth which will build the auth database, views and logic for you?
php artisan make:auth
https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/authentication
EDIT:
Ok, so If I understand correctly, you want your post and get pointing to the same route url?
Route::match(array('GET','POST'),'/register', 'RegisterController#index');
{
//
});

Answer 2

You can try the routing in this form:
Route::get('/user', 'UserController#index');
This might work for you.
Also, don't forget to go through the official documentation of Laravel regarding Routing.
https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/routing
This will help you alot.

Answer 3

The form is sending a post request to a certain route which in this case is /register but you have not supplied that route yet.
Route::post('register', 'Authentication\RegisterController#create');
Additionally, your form action can just be action="register"
