Overriding Laravel's method - php

Question

Given the route:
Route::get('verify/{id}/{hash}', 'Auth\VerificationController#verify');
It uses the Laravel's default verify method from
auth-backend/VerifiesEmails.php
The default verify method looks like bellow:
public function verify(Request $request)
{
if (! hash_equals((string) $request->route('id'), (string) $request->user()->getKey())) {
throw new AuthorizationException;
}
if (! hash_equals((string) $request->route('hash'), sha1($request->user()->getEmailForVerification()))) {
throw new AuthorizationException;
}
if ($request->user()->hasVerifiedEmail()) {
return $request->wantsJson()
? new Response('', 204)
: redirect($this->redirectPath());
}
if ($request->user()->markEmailAsVerified()) {
event(new Verified($request->user()));
}
if ($response = $this->verified($request)) {
return $response;
}
return $request->wantsJson()
? new Response('', 204)
: redirect($this->redirectPath())->with('verified', true);
}
I would like to change only the last block of the code in the verify method from
return $request->wantsJson()
? new Response('', 204)
: redirect($this->redirectPath())->with('verified', true);
to
return $request->wantsJson()
? new Response('', 204)
: redirect($this->redirectPath())->with([
'verified' => true,
'userNotification' => [
'message' => 'Wellcome to my website',
'title' => 'Hello World',
],
]);
I know I can override the whole verify method in the VerificationController, which is not ideal to copy and paste the whole block of code for a small change.
My question is How can override only the last block of code as mentioned above?

Answer 1

Right before the final return there is this block:
if ($response = $this->verified($request)) {
return $response;
}
So in your VerificationController you can override just the verified method which is meant for that.
If you look into its source you will see it:
source
So in your local VerificationController add:
protected function verified(Request $request)
{
return $request->wantsJson()
? new Response('', 204)
: redirect($this->redirectPath())->with([
'verified' => true,
'userNotification' => [
'message' => 'Wellcome to my website',
'title' => 'Hello World',
],
]);
}
