where in fortify is the default verifyemail redirect defined

Level 58

In Laravel Fortify, the default redirect after email verification is defined in the VerificationController class. To modify the redirect URL, you can override the redirectTo method in your own VerificationController class.

Here's an example of how you can define a different URL for the redirect:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\EmailVerificationRequest;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;

class VerificationController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Redirect the user after email verification.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\EmailVerificationRequest  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
     */
    protected function redirectTo(EmailVerificationRequest $request): RedirectResponse
    {
        // Define your custom redirect URL here
        return redirect()->to('https://example.com/mobile-app-page');
    }
}

Make sure to update the namespace and the redirect URL according to your application's needs. After creating this VerificationController class, you need to update the fortify.php configuration file to use your custom controller.

In config/fortify.php, locate the features array and update the email_verification section to use your custom controller:

'features' => [
    // ...
    'email_verification' => [
        'enabled' => true,
        'controller' => App\Http\Controllers\Auth\VerificationController::class,
    ],
    // ...
],

By doing this, the email verification redirect will be handled by your custom controller, and you can define any URL you want in the redirectTo method.

@LaryAI it is not redirecting, same as before. cleared config and cache

Lary is giving you the action to take when the email is verified.

What you are asking for is to change the URL that is sent out in the email?

I found the issue : I am building a view-less fortify for a mobile app and in the Authenticate.php Middleware , it redirects if not authenticated to the login route, and the login route was not a named route.

protected function redirectTo(Request $request): ?string
    {
        return $request->expectsJson() ? null : route('login');
    }
}

also doesn't Fortify have an implementation for updating the user model after the link was clicked?

I researched an answer to your original question, so I might as well still paste it incase it helps others in the future;

In the User model, add the following function

    public function sendEmailVerificationNotification()
    {
        $notification = new VerifyEmail;

        $notification->createUrlUsing(function () {
            return 'https://my_custom_url.com';
        });

        $this->notify($notification);
    }

createUrlUsing() should return the URL that the user is sent to when they click the link.

The only thing you have to do is set the current timestamp on the users.email_verified_at column

here's the code that does it;

public function markEmailAsVerified()
{
    return $this->forceFill([
        'email_verified_at' => $this->freshTimestamp(),
    ])->save();
}

@Ace nowhere to my knowledge. Why do you need to see it in the docs?
