Laravel 5.1 Authentication Scaffold

Laravel 5.0 had this cool "opt-in" artisan command to generate files required to quickly scaffold a simple authentication system. Apart from the auth views (login, register, change pwd), this also created a master layout page. This was a great time saver for me.

For unknown reasons, this feature did not make it to version 5.1. So, I modified the code that Taylor wrote for the 5.0 branch and created a package.

Installation

Pull in the package via composer:

composer require mnshankar/auth-scaffold

Add the package service provider to your config/app.php file:

/*
 * Application Service Providers...
 */

mnshankar\auth\AuthServiceProvider::class,

Usage

The package exposes an artisan command called 'scaffold:auth'

php artisan scaffold:auth

Navigating to /home should bring up the auth page.

Usage Notes

It is highly recommended that you run this only on a fresh Laravel install - even prior to changing the default 'App' namespace. It replaces and copies several (key) files (controllers,routes and views).
