Laravel adding custom fields to registration form

In last tutorial we saw that how to setup Laravel authentication system of login, registration and password reset.

Different website have different signup pages that have lots of fields depending upon the project requirements. As you can see in default Laravel it provide us with a default registration form. It just has the fields: Name, E-Mail Address, Password, and Confirm Password. In most of the cases we require come custom fields like Phone Number, Address, Gender, Date of Birth, and so on. Let's get started by customising the registration form with a new field. One thing that i want to clear that I am not following Laravel migration way of adding,modifying database table's column. I am doing directly from phpmyadmin.

Add a column 'username' inside 'users' table

Save these changes, and only one step remains. Open the app/User.php file and add the username field to the $fillable property like so: protected $fillable = ; After saving the changes to the User model, you’re ready to register users with usernames.
