Laravel 5 Password Reset with Angular View - angularjs

Question

I am trying to use the Laravel inbuilt password reset in my app where Laravel 5.1 acts as the backend api and Angular 1.3 for all front-end views. I have set-up the Password reset as per the docs where I have done the following:
1) Create the table
php artisan migrate
2) Added this to the route:
Route::post('password/email', 'Auth/PasswordController#postEmail');
Route::post('password/reset', 'Auth/PasswordController#postReset');
Since I will be using Angular to display frontend forms, I did not add the views for GET. I havent done any changes to the Auth/PasswordController.php and right now its just like the way it came. But when I test the above URL from Postman POST request, I am getting the error:
View [emails.password] not found.
How can I let Angular Handle the views and not have Laravel worry about the view? Do I have to have Laravel View for the inbuilt password reset to work? How do I approach this?

Answer 1

Override the postEmail and postReset methods so that they return a JSON response (don't let it redirect). Subsequently post to /password/email and /password/reset from Angular via xhr.

Answer 2

Open app/Http/Controllers/Auth/PasswordController.php
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class PasswordController extends Controller
{
use ResetsPasswords;
//add and modify this methods as you wish:
/**
* Send a reset link to the given user.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function postEmail(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, ['email' => 'required|email']);
$response = Password::sendResetLink($request->only('email'), function (Message $message) {
$message->subject($this->getEmailSubject());
});
switch ($response) {
case Password::RESET_LINK_SENT:
return redirect()->back()->with('status', trans($response));
case Password::INVALID_USER:
return redirect()->back()->withErrors(['email' => trans($response)]);
}
}
/**
* Reset the given user's password.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function postReset(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'token' => 'required',
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required|confirmed',
]);
$credentials = $request->only(
'email', 'password', 'password_confirmation', 'token'
);
$response = Password::reset($credentials, function ($user, $password) {
$this->resetPassword($user, $password);
});
switch ($response) {
case Password::PASSWORD_RESET:
return redirect($this->redirectPath());
default:
return redirect()->back()
->withInput($request->only('email'))
->withErrors(['email' => trans($response)]);
}
}
}

Ceckout your path to views folder in app\bootstrap\cache\config.php at section "view"
'view' =>
array (
'paths' =>
array (
0 => '/home/vagrant/Code/app/resources/views',
),
'compiled' => '/home/vagrant/Code/app/storage/framework/views',
),
this path MUST be at SERVER! not at you local mashine like
"D:\WebServers\home\Laravel\app\bootstrap\cache", if you use the homestead.
And You must use command like: "php artisan config:clear | cache" at SERVER!

I had the same problem than you. You could manage to change the view in config/auth.php if you have another one not in resources/views/emails/password.blade.php.
Because this view isn't created by default, that's why you got the error.
