Download Laravel App 

First of all install a new laravel application using the following command. You can skp this steps if you have already laravel app installed.

composer create-project laravel/laravel email-varification

Connect Database to App

Open the .env file and add your database credentials such as database name, username equally important password:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql  
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1  
DB_PORT=3306  
DB_DATABASE=database name here 
DB_USERNAME=database username here

Create Authentication

Now generate Authentication Scaffolding using the following command:

For 6+ version

composer require laravel/ui
php artisan ui vue --auth
npm install
npm run dev

For 5.8 below version

php artisan migrate

Setup Email Configuration

Now update your database credential and email SMTP credentials in .env file. Here we are using https://mailtrap.io/ for testing purpose. You can also get demo credentials from mailtrap.

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null

Email Verification Setup

For email varification setup you we need to open User model from app/User.php and implements MustVerifyEmail in User class just like below example:

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail
{
    use Notifiable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'email', 'password',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'remember_token',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];
}

Configure Auth Routes

Now we need to add varify true parameter inside Auth::routes(). Open routes/web.php and do the change like this:

Auth::routes(['verify' => true]);

Now to need to show the verify message when nuser logged in using the varified middleware to add in your homecontroller or your can use in your routes as well. Here our user is redireting in homecontroller so we have put the code in HomeController.php file.

public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware(['auth', 'verified']);
}

app\Http\Controllers\HomeController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware(['auth','verified']);
    }

    /**
     * Show the application dashboard.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return view('home');
    }
}

By this method, we can give access to verified users to any controller.

Run Application & Test Email Verification

Finally, we need to run the following PHP artisan serve command to start laravel livewire upload file app:

php artisan serve

Now open your browser and hit your project url http://localhost:8000/register.

After register using user you have go an email in your mailtrap account and you see below message in your dashboard, If you logged in as well.

After Click to request another your have got an other email in your mailtrap account just like below.
