Laravel Breeze has replaced the previous Laravel UI command to pull in an authentication scaffolding in Laravel.

Laravel Breeze is an optional authentication scaffolding that you can pull in through Composer. Why bothering creating your own authentication system when you can simply pull in a package that has been created by the developers?

Like I’ve mentioned above, Laravel Breeze can be pulled in through Composer (as a dev dependency)

composer require Laravel/breeze –-dev

This command does not pull in the authentication scaffolding itself. It has pulled in a new option that you can run with artisan.

php artisan breeze:install

The frontend part of Laravel Breeze has been built out of Components, that use TailwindCSS for styling. Therefore, it’s asking us to run the npm install && npm run dev command to build our assets.

npm install && npm run dev

By default, Laravel Breeze turns off email verification and wants you to add it yourself on the route. Inside the routes/web.php file, you’ll see the /dashboard endpoint that is using the middleware() on the route. It also accepts an array that has only one value. This needs to be modified to the following

Route::get('/dashboard', function () {
    return view('dashboard');
})->middleware(['auth', 'verified'])->name('dashboard');

We’re almost done, since the MustVerifyEmail class needs to be added as an implementation on the User model

class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail
{
…
}

There is no need to pull in the MustVerifyEmail class since Laravel already added it inside the use statement.

use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
