Aktiv8me

Authentication System for Laravel 5.4.* and 5.5.* with email user activation

This package adds an email verification, a.k.a. account activation feature to the built-in Laravel Authentication System. Upon registration, users will automatically recieve an email containing an activation link, which will allow to activate their registrations.

NOTE: email tests (Travis) are temporarily disabled due to some Mailthief issues.

Before Installation

A clean, freshly installed Laravel is not required, but recommended.

Installation (v2 - Laravel 5.5.*)

    composer require samkitano/aktiv8me

2 - Run aktiv8me

    php artisan make:aktiv8me

3 - Run migrations

    php artisan migrate

Done!

Installation (v1 - Laravel 5.4.*)

1 - Require with composer

    composer require samkitano/aktiv8me:1.*

2 - Add Service Provider to providers array in config/app.php

    Kitano\Aktiv8me\Aktiv8meServiceProvider::class,

3 - Run aktiv8me

    php artisan make:aktiv8me

4 - Run migrations

    php artisan migrate

Done!

After Installation

There is no need to publish any assets at all. However, it is always possible to publish config and language files by running php artisan vendor:publish

IMPORTANT: Email settings must be configured in config/mail.php to suit each project requirements!

If for some reason a reinstall is needed, running php artisan make:aktiv8me again will prompt the developer to choose either to skip, overwrite, or backup each one of the involved files. This may come in handy to reset individual files to their defaults, and to play around/test the package. Backed up files will be stored with a 3 digit numbered extension.

Notifications (email compositions) are located in app/Notifications/Aktiv8me.

Included translations:

• (en) English
• (es) Castellano
• (pt) Português

NOTE: Translations are provided ONLY for this package's resources. Validation errors are NOT translated.

If not a fresh Laravel installation, the generated routes may have to be re-arranged in the routes/web.php file.

Usage

Configuration

The configuration file config/Aktiv8me.php contains sensible defaults, and sets up a few easy to config options:

1. Option to disable verification, or to allow a number of tokens per registered user
2. Option to send a welcome email after successful activation
3. Option to set a Token expiration time
4. Option to auto-resend a new token if the used one is expired
5. Option to auto-login after verification

More details available in the config file itself.

Notes

All redirections are pointing to '/' or to the required Forms, when needed. Thus, if a project requires a Dashboard or an Admin section, developers will have to set up their own resources and redirections.

The default Views layouts/app.blade.php and welcome.blade.php have been modified in order to support alerts for flashed messages, just to make it easier for Devs to test the package before starting their own project workflow.

Unless otherwise specified (artisan make:aktiv8me --s), all of the original Laravel's default files will be renamed with an '.original' extension, and kept on their original directories, for convenience.

The package keeps a list of all backed up files. Running php artisan make:aktiv8me --r will remove ALL of them.

Flashed messages and JSON responses are set by the package, and they contain adequate information for most applications.
