Laravel Artisan Generator Command: The make:auth Command

The make:auth command can be used to generate login and registration views, a basic HomeController controller and routes that can be used for basic authentication tasks. It accepts the optional flag --views which can be used to only generate the view files. The following views will be created (all paths are relative to the applications resources/views directory):

• auth/login.blade.php
• auth/register.blade.php
• auth/passwords/email.blade.php
• auth/passwords/reset.blade.php
• auth/emails/password.blade.php
• layouts/app.blade.php
• home.blade.php
• welcome.blade.php

The following controller file will also be created:

• app/Http/Controllers/HomeController.php

The following entry will also be added to the app/Http/routes.php routes file:

1Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
2    Route::auth();
3 
4    Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');
5});

The following examples demonstrate how to call the make:auth command:

1# Run the command with default options.
2php artisan make:auth
3 
4# Only generate authentication views.
5php artisan make:auth --views
