Hello Geek, Breeze is a lightweight package provided to make authentication simple and easy to implement. It includes basic authentication features such as registration, login, email verification, and password reset.
Here are the steps to set up authentication using Laravel 9 and Breeze:
Step 1: Install Laravel 9
- First, make sure you have installed the latest version of Laravel 9 on your system. You can use the following command to create a new Laravel project:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel example-app
Step 2: Install Breeze
- Once the Laravel installation is complete, you can install the Breeze package using the following command:
composer require laravel/breeze --dev
- Note that the
--devflag is used here because Breeze is only intended for development environments.
Step 3: Generate Authentication Scaffolding
- After installing Breeze, you can use the following command to generate authentication scaffolding:
php artisan breeze:install
- This command will generate all the necessary files for authentication, including views, controllers, and routes.
Step 4: Run Migrations
- Before you can use authentication, you need to run the database migrations. You can use the following command to run the migrations:
php artisan migrate
Step 5: Start the Server
- Finally, you can start the development server using the following command:
php artisan serve
That’s it! You can now navigate to ‘http://localhost:8000‘ in your web browser to see the authentication screens in action.
Breeze also provides additional features such as multi-authentication support and integration with popular front-end frameworks like Vue and React. You can learn more about these features in the official Laravel documentation.
All the best nerd!
