NotFoundHttpException when updating AuthController - laravel

Question

I got a NotFoundHttpException when accessing to POST:http://localhost:8000/auth/register. This error appears when I updating AuthController validator and create methods. With default AuthController there is no error but datas not stored in database
AuthController
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\User;
use Validator;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\ThrottlesLogins;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers;
class AuthController extends Controller
use AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers, ThrottlesLogins;
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'getLogout']);
}
protected function create(array $data)
{
return User::create([
'lastname' => $data['lastname'],
'firstname' => $data['firstname'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
]);
}
protected function validator(array $data)
{
return Validator::make($data, [
'firstname' => 'required|max:255',
'lastname' => 'required|max:255',
'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:8',
]);
}
}

Answer 1

as I mentioned in my comment out there, and according to your comment mentioning that the user actually gets registered in the database, so to debug the problem, let's take a look at the source code of postRegister method:
/**
* Handle a registration request for the application.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function postRegister(Request $request)
{
$validator = $this->validator($request->all());
if ($validator->fails()) {
$this->throwValidationException(
$request, $validator
);
}
Auth::login($this->create($request->all()));
return redirect($this->redirectPath());
}
As we can see, after the registration, the method redirects to the redirction path returned by redirectPath, let's take a look at its source code as well:
/**
* Get the post register / login redirect path.
*
* #return string
*/
public function redirectPath()
{
if (property_exists($this, 'redirectPath')) {
return $this->redirectPath;
}
return property_exists($this, 'redirectTo') ? $this->redirectTo : '/home';
}
As we can see, if the 'redirectTo' attribute is not specified, the method by default redirects to '/home', so you have two possible solutions:
specify a route for /home and get done with it quickly
specify the 'redirectTo' or redirectPath attribute in the AuthController as follows:
In the AuthController.php
class AuthController extends Controller
{
use AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers, ThrottlesLogins;
protected $redirectPath = '/myspecifiedroute';
...
...

Answer 2

i have a $redirectTo property in my AuthController, overriding the default redirect after successful login:
class AuthController extends Controller {
use AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers, ThrottlesLogins;
public $redirectTo = '/';
protected $loginPath = '/account/login';
...
I'm not really sure if it's $redirectTo or $redirectPath (at least according to the docs, i couldn't find this one in my project)

#hamza-ouaghad answer is the right answer for my problem. But I got another problem : my datas was not store in my database. When using laravel-mongodb and you need an unique field in your data model (like an email), you have to create a migration like :
Schema::create('users_collection', function($collection) {
$collection->unique('email');
});
