Sure! Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a user registration system in Laravel:

1. Install Laravel

First, make sure you have Composer installed. Then, create a new Laravel project:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel user-registration
cd user-registration

2. Set Up Database

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=your_db_name
DB_USERNAME=your_db_username
DB_PASSWORD=your_db_password

3. Create User Model and Migration

Laravel comes with a User model and migration by default. You can modify the migration file if needed:

// database/migrations/xxxx_xx_xx_create_users_table.php
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('email')->unique();
    $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
    $table->string('password');
    $table->rememberToken();
    $table->timestamps();
});

php artisan migrate

4. Create Registration Controller

php artisan make:controller Auth/RegisterController

// app/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisterController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;

class RegisterController extends Controller
{
    public function showRegistrationForm( )
    {
        return view('auth.register');
    }

    public function register(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validator($request->all())->validate();

        $user = $this->create($request->all());

        // Optionally, log the user in after registration
        // Auth::login($user);

        return redirect()->route('home');
    }

    protected function validator(array $data)
    {
        return Validator::make($data, [
            'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
            'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email', 'max:255', 'unique:users'],
            'password' => ['required', 'string', 'min:8', 'confirmed'],
        ]);
    }

    protected function create(array $data)
    {
        return User::create([
            'name' => $data['name'],
            'email' => $data['email'],
            'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
        ]);
    }
}

5. Create Registration View

<!-- resources/views/auth/register.blade.php -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Register</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h2>Register</h2>
    <form method="POST" action="{{ route('register') }}">
        @csrf
        <div>
            <label for="name">Name</label>
            <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required>
        </div>
        <div>
            <label for="email">Email</label>
            <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>
        </div>
        <div>
            <label for="password">Password</label>
            <input type="password" id="password" name="password" required>
        </div>
        <div>
            <label for="password_confirmation">Confirm Password</label>
            <input type="password" id="password_confirmation" name="password_confirmation" required>
        </div>
        <button type="submit">Register</button>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

6. Define Routes

// routes/web.php
use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\RegisterController;

Route::get('register', [RegisterController::class, 'showRegistrationForm'])->name('register');
Route::post('register', [RegisterController::class, 'register']);

7. Test Your Registration
