laravel 5.3 new Auth::routes()

Recently I start to use laravel 5.3 to write a blog, but I have a question after run php artisan make:auth

when I run this, it will generate routes in my web.php

this is the code in it:

Auth::routes();

Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');

Then I run php artisan route:list, I find lots of actions, like LoginController@login...

But I didn't find these actions in my App\Http\Controllers\Auth, where are these?

And also what is the Auth::routes() stand for, I can't find the routes about Auth.

I need someone help, thank you to answer my question

Auth::routes() is just a helper class that helps you generate all the routes required for user authentication. You can browse the code here https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.3/src/Illuminate/Routing/Router.php instead.

Here are the routes

// Authentication Routes...
$this->get('login', 'Auth\LoginController@showLoginForm')->name('login');
$this->post('login', 'Auth\LoginController@login');
$this->post('logout', 'Auth\LoginController@logout')->name('logout');

// Registration Routes...
$this->get('register', 'Auth\RegisterController@showRegistrationForm')->name('register');
$this->post('register', 'Auth\RegisterController@register');

// Password Reset Routes...
$this->get('password/reset', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm');
$this->post('password/email', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail');
$this->get('password/reset/{token}', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm');
$this->post('password/reset', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@reset');

Here's Laravel 5.7, Laravel 5.8, Laravel 6.0, Laravel 7.0, and Laravel 8.0 (note a minor bc change in 6.0 to the email verification route).

// Authentication Routes...
Route::get('login', 'Auth\LoginController@showLoginForm')->name('login');
Route::post('login', 'Auth\LoginController@login');
Route::post('logout', 'Auth\LoginController@logout')->name('logout');

// Registration Routes...
Route::get('register', 'Auth\RegisterController@showRegistrationForm')->name('register');
Route::post('register', 'Auth\RegisterController@register');

// Password Reset Routes...
Route::get('password/reset', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm')->name('password.request');
Route::post('password/email', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail')->name('password.email');
Route::get('password/reset/{token}', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm')->name('password.reset');
Route::post('password/reset', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@reset')->name('password.update');

// Confirm Password (added in v6.2)
Route::get('password/confirm', 'Auth\ConfirmPasswordController@showConfirmForm')->name('password.confirm');
Route::post('password/confirm', 'Auth\ConfirmPasswordController@confirm');

// Email Verification Routes...
Route::get('email/verify', 'Auth\VerificationController@show')->name('verification.notice');
Route::get('email/verify/{id}/{hash}', 'Auth\VerificationController@verify')->name('verification.verify'); // v6.x
/* Route::get('email/verify/{id}', 'Auth\VerificationController@verify')->name('verification.verify'); // v5.x */
Route::get('email/resend', 'Auth\VerificationController@resend')->name('verification.resend');

You can verify these routes here:

• v5.7 https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.7/src/Illuminate/Routing/Router.php#L1176
• v5.8 https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.8/src/Illuminate/Routing/Router.php#L1151
• v6.0 https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/6.x/src/Illuminate/Routing/Router.php#L1178
• v7.0 https://github.com/laravel/ui/blob/2.x/src/AuthRouteMethods.php (This has been moved to the laravel/ui package)
• v8.0 https://github.com/laravel/ui/blob/3.x/src/AuthRouteMethods.php (No changes other than adding optional namespace)

Auth routes for Laravel 5.3 instead Auth::routes(). I hope it helps...

Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function() {

// Login Routes...
    Route::get('login', ['as' => 'login', 'uses' => 'Auth\LoginController@showLoginForm']);
    Route::post('login', ['as' => 'login.post', 'uses' => 'Auth\LoginController@login']);
    Route::post('logout', ['as' => 'logout', 'uses' => 'Auth\LoginController@logout']);

// Registration Routes...
    Route::get('register', ['as' => 'register', 'uses' => 'Auth\RegisterController@showRegistrationForm']);
    Route::post('register', ['as' => 'register.post', 'uses' => 'Auth\RegisterController@register']);

// Password Reset Routes...
    Route::get('password/reset', ['as' => 'password.reset', 'uses' => 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm']);
    Route::post('password/email', ['as' => 'password.email', 'uses' => 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail']);
    Route::get('password/reset/{token}', ['as' => 'password.reset.token', 'uses' => 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm']);
    Route::post('password/reset', ['as' => 'password.reset.post', 'uses' => 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@reset']);
});

So if you change some names of these routes, remember to also change in views the actions of the posts!

For Laravel 5.5.x

// Authentication Routes...
$this->get('login', 'Auth\LoginController@showLoginForm')->name('login');
$this->post('login', 'Auth\LoginController@login');
$this->post('logout', 'Auth\LoginController@logout')->name('logout');

// Registration Routes...
$this->get('register', 'Auth\RegisterController@showRegistrationForm')->name('register');
$this->post('register', 'Auth\RegisterController@register');

// Password Reset Routes...
$this->get('password/reset', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm')->name('password.request');
$this->post('password/email', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail')->name('password.email');
$this->get('password/reset/{token}', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm')->name('password.reset');
$this->post('password/reset', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@reset');

function call order:

1. (Auth)Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth@routes (https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.3/src/Illuminate/Support/Facades/Auth.php)
2. (App)Illuminate\Foundation\Application@auth
3. (Route)Illuminate\Routing\Router

it's route like this:

public function auth()
{
    // Authentication Routes...
    $this->get('login', 'Auth\AuthController@showLoginForm');
    $this->post('login', 'Auth\AuthController@login');
    $this->get('logout', 'Auth\AuthController@logout');
    // Registration Routes...
    $this->get('register', 'Auth\AuthController@showRegistrationForm');
    $this->post('register', 'Auth\AuthController@register');
    // Password Reset Routes...
    $this->get('password/reset/{token?}', 'Auth\PasswordController@showResetForm');
    $this->post('password/email', 'Auth\PasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail');
    $this->post('password/reset', 'Auth\PasswordController@reset');
}

This worked for me with Laravel 5.6.

In the file web.php, just replace:

Auth::routes();

By:

//Auth::routes();
// Authentication Routes...
Route::get('admin/login', 'Auth\LoginController@showLoginForm')->name('login');
Route::post('admin/login', 'Auth\LoginController@login');
Route::post('admin/logout', 'Auth\LoginController@logout')->name('logout');
// Password Reset Routes...
Route::get('password/reset', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm')->name('password.request');
Route::post('password/email', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail')->name('password.email');
Route::get('password/reset/{token}', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm')->name('password.reset');
Route::post('password/reset', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@reset');

And remove the Register link in the two files below:

welcome.blade.php
layouts/app.blade.php

If you are searching these same routes for laravel 7 version you'll find it here Vendor/laravel/ui/src/AuthRouteMethods.php

if you are in laravel 5.7 and above Auth::routes(['register' => false]); in web.php

more possible options are as:

Auth::routes([
  'register' => false, // Routes of Registration
  'reset' => false,    // Routes of Password Reset
  'verify' => false,   // Routes of Email Verification
]);

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the command php artisan route:list, which gives a list of all registered app routes (including Auth::routes() and Passport::routes() if registered)

For Laravel 8:

use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\LoginController;
use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\RegisterController;
use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\ForgotPasswordController;
use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\ConfirmPasswordController;
use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\VerificationController;

Route::get('login', [LoginController::class, 'showLoginForm'])->name('login');
Route::post('login', [LoginController::class,'login']);
Route::post('logout',  [LoginController::class,'logout'])->name('logout');

// Registration Routes...
Route::get('register', [RegisterController::class, 'showRegistrationForm'])->name('register');
Route::post('register', [RegisterController::class, 'register']);

// Password Reset Routes...
Route::get('password/reset', [ForgotPasswordController::class, 'showLinkRequestForm'])->name('password.request');
Route::post('password/email', [ForgotPasswordController::class, 'sendResetLinkEmail'])->name('password.email');
Route::get('password/reset/{token}', [ForgotPasswordController::class, 'showResetForm'])->name('password.reset');
Route::post('password/reset', [ForgotPasswordController::class, 'reset'])->name('password.update');

// Confirm Password 
Route::get('password/confirm', [ConfirmPasswordController::class, 'showConfirmForm'])->name('password.confirm');
Route::post('password/confirm', [ConfirmPasswordController::class, 'confirm']);

// Email Verification Routes...
Route::get('email/verify', [VerificationController::class, 'show'])->name('verification.notice');
Route::get('email/verify/{id}/{hash}', [VerificationController::class, 'verify'])->name('verification.verify');
Route::get('email/resend',  [VerificationController::class, 'resend'])->name('verification.resend');

// Home
Route::get('/home', [App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('home');

the loginuser class uses a trait called AuthenticatesUsers

if you open that trait you will see the functions (this applies for other controllers) Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;

here is the trait code https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.1/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Auth/AuthenticatesUsers.php

sorry for the bad format, im using my phone

also Auth::routes() it just calls a function that returns the auth routes thats it (i think)

It's too late, but here it is, The Routes generated by this function:

// Authentication Routes...
$this->get('login', 'Auth\LoginController@showLoginForm')->name('login');
$this->post('login', 'Auth\LoginController@login');
$this->post('logout', 'Auth\LoginController@logout')->name('logout');

// Registration Routes...
$this->get('register', 'Auth\RegisterController@showRegistrationForm')->name('register');
$this->post('register', 'Auth\RegisterController@register');

// Password Reset Routes...
$this->get('password/reset', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm');
$this->post('password/email', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail');
$this->get('password/reset/{token}', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm');
$this->post('password/reset', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@reset');
