2. Create a Migration
In this step, we create a new migration to add mobile_no and bio fields to the user’s table.
php artisan make:migration add_new_fields_users --table=users<?php
#database/migrations/2023_01_27_112540_add_new_fields_users.php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class AddNewFieldsUsers extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->string('mobile_no')->nullable();
$table->text('bio')->nullable();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->dropColumn(['mobile_no', 'bio']);
});
}
}Now, run migration with the below command:
php artisan migrateAnd Also update User.php the model file.
<?php
#app/Models/User.php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array<int, string>
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'email',
'password',
'mobile_no', //Added
'bio', //Added
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for serialization.
*
* @var array<int, string>
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password',
'remember_token',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be cast.
*
* @var array<string, string>
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
public function blogs() {
return $this->hasMany(Blogs::class);
}
}3. Update Register Blade File
In this step, I will update auth register blade file. in this file, we will add mobile_no and bio fields.

@endsection4. Update RegisterController File
We will update the Auth/RegisterController.php file. we will add mobile_no and bio fields on validation and store them in the database.
<?php
#app/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisterController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\RegistersUsers;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
class RegisterController extends Controller
{
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Register Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller handles the registration of new users as well as their
| validation and creation. By default this controller uses a trait to
| provide this functionality without requiring any additional code.
|
*/
use RegistersUsers;
/**
* Where to redirect users after registration.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $redirectTo = RouteServiceProvider::HOME;
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest');
}
/**
* Get a validator for an incoming registration request.
*
* @param array $data
* @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator
*/
protected function validator(array $data)
{
return Validator::make($data, [
'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email', 'max:255', 'unique:users'],
'mobile_no' => ['required', 'numeric', 'digits:10'], //Added
'bio' => ['required', 'string'], //Added
'password' => ['required', 'string', 'min:8', 'confirmed'],
]);
}
/**
* Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
*
* @param array $data
* @return \App\Models\User
*/
protected function create(array $data)
{
return User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'mobile_no' => $data['mobile_no'], //Added
'bio' => $data['bio'], //Added
'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
]);
}
