How to Create Bootstrap Auth Scaffolding in Laravel 10

Authentication is a way to verify the identity of a user or system who is going to access certain resources. While accessing any website, or system the most common thing is authentication. It will prevent the system from unauthorized access. You need to manage that kind of security system which is called authentication. You can set for auth scaffolding in Laravel 10. Authentication can be done in two ways. Either you can use any pre-build system or you can create a custom one.

The Auth scaffolding in Laravel is a set of pre-built codes that provides the basic functionality required for user authentication in a web application. Laravel’s authentication scaffolding includes a set of views, controllers, routes, and middleware that provide the necessary functionality to register, log in, and log out users. However, Laravel provides Auth scaffolding using multiple libraries like Bootstrap, Vue JS, and React.

By clicking on the register page, you will have the register form. From here, you can register your account.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel form-validation

After the project setup, you need to configure the database.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE={{ DB_NAME }}

Now, you can run the application to see the result.

php artisan serve
