Hello Dev,

Here, I will show you how to work customize laravel registration form with additional fields. This example will help you how to add extra field in registration form in laravel. This article will give you a simple example of adding an existing field to a registration form in laravel. you will learn add an existing field to a registration form in laravel.

Laravel Authentication provides default login, register, and reset password forms with default fields. The registration form has name, email, password, and confirm password fields. But if you want to customize the registration form then how you will be able to do this? If you want to add gender, mobile no, avatar, city, country, address, etc. I will show you step-by-step how to add extra fields to the registration form in laravel.

In this example, we will add Gender and Mobile No. fields will add on users table. Then we will add it to the registration form. so, let's see the following steps:

You can use this code with laravel 6, laravel 7, laravel 8, laravel 9, laravel 10 and laravel 11 versions.

Step 1: Install Laravel

This is optional; however, if you have not created the laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

Step 2: Setup Database Configuration

After successfully installing the laravel app then after configuring the database setup. We will open the ".env" file and change the database name, username and password in the env file.

.env

DB_CONNECTION=mysql

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

DB_PORT=3306

DB_DATABASE=Enter_Your_Database_Name

DB_USERNAME=Enter_Your_Database_Username

DB_PASSWORD=Enter_Your_Database_Password

Step 3: Install Auth Scaffold

Laravel's laravel/ui package provides a quick way to scaffold all of the routes and views you need for authentication using a few simple commands:

composer require laravel/ui

Next, we need to generate auth scaffold with bootstrap, so let's run the below command:

php artisan ui bootstrap --auth

Then, install npm packages using the below command:

npm install

At last, built bootstrap CSS using the below command:

npm run build

Step 4: Create Migration

In this step, we need to create new migration to add gender and mobile_no fields to users table. so let's run the below code and run migration.

php artisan make:migration add_new_fields_users

database/migrations/2022_11_24_110854_add_new_fields_users.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

return new class extends Migration

{

/**

* Run the migrations.

*

* @return void

*/

public function up()

{

Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->tinyInteger('gender')->default(0);

$table->string('mobile_no')->nullable();

});

}

/**

* Reverse the migrations.

*

* @return void

*/

public function down()

{

Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->dropColumn('gender');

$table->dropColumn('mobile_no');

});

}

};

Now, run migration with following command:

php artisan migrate

Next, update User.php model file.

app/Models/User.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;

class User extends Authenticatable

{

use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;

/**

* The attributes that are mass assignable.

*

* @var array

*/

protected $fillable = [

'name',

'email',

'password',

'mobile_no',

'gender'

];

/**

* The attributes that should be hidden for serialization.

*

* @var array

*/

protected $hidden = [

'password',

'remember_token',

];

/**

* The attributes that should be cast.

*

* @var array

*/

protected $casts = [

'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',

];

}

Step 5: Update Login Blade File

In this step, we will update auth register blade file. in this file we will add new fields. so let's update following file:

resources/views/auth/register.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')

<div class="container">

<div class="row justify-content-center">

<div class="col-md-8">

<div class="card">

<div class="card-header">{{ __('Register') }}</div>

<div class="card-body">

<form method="POST" action="{{ route('register') }}">

@csrf

<div class="row mb-3">

<label for="name" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-end">{{ __('Name') }}</label>

<div class="col-md-6">

<input id="name" type="text" class="form-control @error('name') is-invalid @enderror" name="name" value="{{ old('name') }}" required autocomplete="name" autofocus>

@error('name')

<span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">

<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>

</span>

@enderror

</div>

</div>

<div class="row mb-3">

<label for="email" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-end">{{ __('Email Address') }}</label>

<div class="col-md-6">

<input id="email" type="email" class="form-control @error('email') is-invalid @enderror" name="email" value="{{ old('email') }}" required autocomplete="email">

@error('email')

<span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">

<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>

</span>

@enderror

</div>

</div>

<div class="row mb-3">

<label for="mobile_no" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-end">{{ __('Gender') }}</label>

<div class="col-md-6">

<label><input type="radio" name="gender" value="0" checked> Make</label>

<label><input type="radio" name="gender" value="1"> Female</label>

@error('gender')

<span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">

<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>

</span>

@enderror

</div>

</div>

<div class="row mb-3">

<label for="mobile_no" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-end">{{ __('Mobile No.') }}</label>

<div class="col-md-6">

<input id="mobile_no" type="text" class="form-control @error('mobile_no') is-invalid @enderror" name="mobile_no" value="{{ old('mobile_no') }}" required autocomplete="mobile_no">

@error('mobile_no')

<span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">

<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>

</span>

@enderror

</div>

</div>

<div class="row mb-3">

<label for="password" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-end">{{ __('Password') }}</label>

<div class="col-md-6">

<input id="password" type="password" class="form-control @error('password') is-invalid @enderror" name="password" required autocomplete="new-password">

@error('password')

<span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">

<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>

</span>

@enderror

</div>

</div>

<div class="row mb-3">

<label for="password-confirm" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-end">{{ __('Confirm Password') }}</label>

<div class="col-md-6">

<input id="password-confirm" type="password" class="form-control" name="password_confirmation" required autocomplete="new-password">

</div>

</div>

<div class="row mb-0">

<div class="col-md-6 offset-md-4">

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">

{{ __('Register') }}

</button>

</div>

</div>

</form>

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

@endsection

Step 6: Update RegisterController

In this step, we will update RegisterController.php file. we will add new fields on validation and store into database. so let's update following file:

app/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisterController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;

use App\Models\User;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\RegistersUsers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;

class RegisterController extends Controller

{

/*

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Register Controller

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

|

| This controller handles the registration of new users as well as their

| validation and creation. By default this controller uses a trait to

| provide this functionality without requiring any additional code.

|

*/

use RegistersUsers;

/**

* Where to redirect users after registration.

*

* @var string

*/

protected $redirectTo = RouteServiceProvider::HOME;

/**

* Create a new controller instance.

*

* @return void

*/

public function __construct()

{

$this->middleware('guest');

}

/**

* Get a validator for an incoming registration request.

*

* @param array $data

* @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator

*/

protected function validator(array $data)

{

return Validator::make($data, [

'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],

'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email', 'max:255', 'unique:users'],

'mobile_no' => ['required', 'numeric', 'digits:10'],

'password' => ['required', 'string', 'min:8', 'confirmed'],

]);

}

/**

* Create a new user instance after a valid registration.

*

* @param array $data

* @return \App\Models\User

*/

protected function create(array $data)

{

return User::create([

'name' => $data['name'],

'email' => $data['email'],

'mobile_no' => $data['mobile_no'],

'gender' => $data['gender'],

'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),

]);

}

}
