Create password reset token manually?

An older post, but might help https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/get-a-password-reset-token

I'm probably making a mistake, or possibly not taking something into account, but I just put this in my auth controller:

public function sendResetLinkEmail(Request $request)
{
    $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
        'email' => 'required|email'
    ]);

    if( ! $validator->fails() )
    {
        if( $user = User::where('email', $request->input('email') )->first() )
        {
            $token = str_random(64);

            DB::table(config('auth.passwords.users.table'))->insert([
                'email' => $user->email, 
                'token' => $token
            ]);

            Mailq::q([
                'to'      => $user->email,
                'subject' => 'Your Password Reset Link',
                'view'    => config('auth.passwords.users.email'),
                'view_data' => [
                    'token' => $token, 
                    'user'  => $user
                ]
            ]);

            return redirect()->back()->with('status', trans(Password::RESET_LINK_SENT));
        }
    }
    
    return redirect()->back()->withErrors(['email' => trans(Password::INVALID_USER)]);
}

But, since it's clear what I want to do, maybe somebody can chime in with the proper way to achieve such a thing.

Hi!

I know this post is kind of old but for Laravel 5.5 and I think more recent versions We can achieve that with this:

$token = app(Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\PasswordBroker::class)->createToken($user);

Greetings!

@PAKOGN - I had an error with Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\PasswordBroker::class but this worked for me.

app('auth.password.broker')->createToken($user)

@POBOY - May be the "use", or the laravel version, glad your solution worked!

@POBOY - @pakogn its also work for me

Its is giving me below error "Argument 1 passed to Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\PasswordBroker::createToken() must implement interface Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\CanResetPassword, null given, called in C:\wamp64\www\bet\app\Http\Controllers\Auth\LoginController.php on line 75 ◀"

@mysadav - It is telling you your argument for the user is null. Make sure you actually have an instance of a user and that your user model implements Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\CanResetPassword before calling the createToken() method
