Laravel 8 not sending verification email - php

Question

I am trying to implement Laravel's default email verification but whenever I change column name of users table from email to user_email Laravel stop sending verification email.
I also override default method getEmailForVerification() found in MyVerifyEmail.php file in my User Model that is returning user_email correctly.
My User Model:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail
{
use HasFactory, Notifiable;
public function getAuthPassword ()
{
return $this->user_password;
}
protected $primaryKey = 'user_id';
protected $fillable = [
'user_name',
'user_email',
'user_password',
'user_phone',
'user_role_id',
];
protected $hidden = [
'password',
'remember_token',
];
protected $casts = ['email_verified_at' => 'datetime',];
public function getEmailForVerification()
{
return $this->user_email;
}
public function role()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Role::class , 'user_role_id');
}
}
RegisterController Code:
public function store(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'name'=>'required',
'email'=>'required |email|unique:App\Models\User,user_email',
'password'=>'required',
'phone'=>'required|unique:App\Models\User,user_phone|min:10|max:15'
]);
$user = User::create([
'user_name' => $request->name,
'user_email' => $request->email,
'user_password' => Hash::make($request->password),
'user_phone' => $request->fullMobileNumber,
'user_role_id' => '9'
]);
event(new Registered($user));
$query = $user->save();
if($query){
$request->session()->flash('success','Your account has been created successfully');
return redirect()->route('login');
}
else{
return back()-> with('failed','Something went wrong. Please try again');
}
}
public function emailVerificationNotice()
{
return view('auth.verifyEmail');
}
public function emailVerificationVerify(EmailVerificationRequest $request)
{
$request->fulfill();
return redirect()->route('dashboard');
}

Answer 1

actually the issue get from while overriding function getEmailForVerification().
so, i recommended you to make file MustVerifyEmail.php on Model
then copy all code from Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail from this file and paste on new file. then use your code on new file like
public function getEmailForVerification()
{
return $this->user_email;
}
and dont forget to change User.php file
like replace
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
to
use App\Models\MustVerifyEmail;
