How to disable registration in Spark Application?

Does this help?

$router->get('/register', function(){
        dd('no'); // have this redirect to a page of your choice.
    });

I don't think that editing the vendor files is a good idea, because next update will just wipe it out... Or am I wrong?

I guess you could just use the Controller/Auth/AuthController.php to abort the user creation process if a user does not come via an invitation and redirect them to a 'Sorry, access is only possible if you have been invited'-page.

I too would love to know the best way to remove certain Spark routes without having to comment them out in vendor routes.php file?

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

At the moment I'm just commenting the routes above out, but there must be a better way without having to touch the vendor files?

If I add a route in app/Http/routes.php ...

Route::get('/register', function () {
    dd('Show 404 page!!!');
});

... the default Spark register form is shown. If I comment out the Registration routes in vendor/laravel/spark/source/Http/routes.php then (and only then) does my 'Show 404 page!!!' route take effect!

One thing that occurred to me as I looked to do the same. I believe the Laravel router is first-in-first-out, meaning that if your route is defined in the router after the original GET /register route, the original will be overridden.

So if your route is registered after the Spark routes are, you can override routes that way. Out of the box in config/app.php I found that the Spark provider App\Providers\SparkServiceProvider::class is loaded before App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class. I moved the RouteServiceProvider class further down so that it comes after the SparkServiceProvider.

It should be noted that I haven't tested this thoroughly, but if this proves to be an issue I will update this thread.

Just replace the register route by adding it to your /app/routes/web.php file like so:

// Disable Registration...
Route::get( '/register', function() {
    return redirect()->intended( '/' );
});

Okay, so that worked for me... placing the RouteServiceProvider::class after the SparkServiceProider::class in the config/app.php file...

I can now trap for both the '/login', and '/register' routes in the web.php file.

Thanks for the help on the thread!

A bit late, but for people reading this now. I think it would be better to replace both get and post routes:

Route::match(['get', 'post'],  '/register', function() {
    return redirect()->intended( '/' );
});

If you leave the post route open it's possible to create an account and access auth routes.

Hi,

another option besides redirecting as mentioned in previous answers is to throw a 404 page.

Route::match(['get', 'post'],  '/register', function() {
    return abort(404);
});
