Laravel 5.4 Disable Register Route

Question

I am trying to disable the register route on my application which is running in Laravel 5.4.

In my routes file, I have only the

Auth::routes();


        

Answer 1

Since Laravel 5.7, a new $options parameter is introduced to the Auth::routes() method; through which you can pass an array to control the generation of the required routes for user-authentication (valid entries can be chosen from the 'register', 'reset', or 'verify' string literals).

Auth::routes(['register' => false]);

Answer 2

Add this two method to app\Http\Controllers\Auth\RegisterController.php

public function showRegistrationForm(){
    return redirect('login');
}

public function register(){

}

Answer 3

Just overwrite your auth showRegistrationForm() method ( place this code inside your Auth/RegisterController )

public function showRegistrationForm(){
    return redirect()->route('login');
}

I'm just redirecting my register route to the login route. Here you don't need to append or remove any other code

Answer 4

You could try this.

Route::match(['get', 'post'], 'register', function(){
    return redirect('/');
});

Add those routes just below the Auth::routes() to override the default registration routes. Any request to the /register route will redirect to the baseUrl.

Answer 5

This is deceptively easy! You just need to override two methods in your app/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisterController.php Class. See below which will prevent the form from being displayed and most importantly block direct POST requests to your application for registrations..

/**
 * Show the application registration form.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function showRegistrationForm()
{
    return redirect('login');
}

/**
 * Handle a registration request for the application.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function register(Request $request)
{
    abort(404);
}

Answer 6

On my Laravel 5.6 project this method didn't work:

Auth::routes(['register' => false]);

So I had to use the following method:

Route::match(['get', 'post'], 'register', function () {
    return abort(403, 'Forbidden');
})->name('register');
