Trying to reset Passwords in Lumen - laravel

Question

I am trying to implement password reset feature in Lumen but could not succeed.
Lumen has access to things like Laravel's PasswordBroker and PasswordManager but I am not able to use this and succeed. Is there any solution for this.

Answer 1

I literally just figured this out last night and wrote a blog about it:

Hopefully it can at least get you on the right track.

Answer 2

Ok, so I just got this working myself, with Lumen 5.6. (I've upgraded to 5.8, still works, no changes made).
These are the changes I had to make to my code. I had to tweak a few things to suit my system, but this might help someone else.
Routes
I wanted two routes.
Send reset password email
GET auth/resetpassword?email=fred#example.com
Reset Password
PUT auth/resetpassword?token=281...b&username=fred&password=banana&password_confirmation=banana
Composer
To send the user an email, the following Laravel packages are needed:
composer require illuminate/mail "^5.6"
composer require illuminate/notifications "^5.6"
Config files
Some extra config file are needed:
config/auth.php
config/mail.php
I just copied these over from Laravel 5.6, no changes made. I also added the mail variables into my .env file.
bootstrap/app.php
These new files need to be registered in the app:
$app->configure('auth');
$app->configure('mail');
$app->register(Illuminate\Notifications\NotificationServiceProvider::class);
$app->register(\Illuminate\Mail\MailServiceProvider::class);
$app->alias('mailer', \Illuminate\Contracts\Mail\Mailer::class);
$app->withFacades();
Database
I used the default Laravel password_resets table:
Schema::create('password_resets', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->string('email')->index();
$table->string('token');
$table->timestamp('created_at')->nullable();
});
Now the real changes to the code.
Based on the code from Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\SendsPasswordResetEmails and Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\ResetsPasswords.
AuthController
use Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\PasswordBrokerManager;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Password;
use Laravel\Lumen\Routing\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class AuthController extends Controller
{
// 1. Send reset password email
public function generateResetToken(Request $request)
{
// Check email address is valid
$this->validate($request, ['email' => 'required|email']);
// Send password reset to the user with this email address
$response = $this->broker()->sendResetLink(
$request->only('email')
);
return $response == Password::RESET_LINK_SENT
? response()->json(true)
: response()->json(false);
}
// 2. Reset Password
public function resetPassword(Request $request)
{
// Check input is valid
$rules = [
'token' => 'required',
'username' => 'required|string',
'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:6',
];
$this->validate($request, $rules);
// Reset the password
$response = $this->broker()->reset(
$this->credentials($request),
function ($user, $password) {
$user->password = app('hash')->make($password);
$user->save();
}
);
return $response == Password::PASSWORD_RESET
? response()->json(true)
: response()->json(false);
}
/**
* Get the password reset credentials from the request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #return array
*/
protected function credentials(Request $request)
{
return $request->only('username', 'password', 'password_confirmation', 'token');
}
/**
* Get the broker to be used during password reset.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\PasswordBroker
*/
public function broker()
{
$passwordBrokerManager = new PasswordBrokerManager(app());
return $passwordBrokerManager->broker();
}
}
User model
use Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\CanResetPassword as CanResetPasswordTrait;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\CanResetPassword as CanResetPasswordInterface;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
class User extends Model implements CanResetPasswordInterface
{
use CanResetPasswordTrait;
use Notifiable;
...
}
