Laravel custom register table

Question

I am trying to register an user using Laravel's native auth. Login works fine, but when I try to register a new user I get an error after submitting a form:

SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'my_db.user' doesn't exist

Of course, I made a table named users which I think has more sense and never had trouble up until now.

I am using Entrust for roles and permissions, so I had to change auth.php to:

'providers' => [
    'user' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => User::class,
    ],

but even if I make this:

'providers' => [
    'user' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => User::class,
        'table' => users
    ],

it submits a form on user table

Answer 1

First make sure you have properly created your model at User.php and correctly linked your user table. For example protected $table = 'user';

Then make sure to change validator function in the RegisterController.php .

Note: I think you getting error while validating inputs, not submitting to database. Because it checks already registered users(uniqueness) on the database, before adding to it. So, carefully check your email validation.
