How to make resend email link function in Laravel - php

Question

I have this function that registers users pretty much the default from laravel auth, and i added this send email function. But now im wondering how can i make a function that will send again email if they click "resend link" for example if they didnt recieve the first time.
Register function with the send email:
protected function create(array $data)
{
$user = Account::create([
'login' => $data['login'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
'verifyToken'=> Str::random(40),
'active' => (env('CONFIRM_EMAIL', true)) ? 0 : 1
]);
$thisUser = Account::findOrFail($user->id);
$this->sendEmail($thisUser);
return $user;
}
And this is the sendEmail function
public function sendEmail($thisUser){
Mail::to($thisUser['email'])->send(new verifyEmail($thisUser));
}
Both functions work well, but sometimes when i register new user i dont get the link i need to delete it from database and re-register it.

Set new verify token on user or even reuse the old one. Then send the email again. Loading the user by email so they don't have to be logged in.
Route::post('users/verify', 'UserController#resend')
protected function resend(Request $request)
{
$user = User::where('email', $request->input('email'))->first();
$user->verifyToken = Str::random(40);
$user->save();
$this->sendEmail($user);
return $user;
}
A very basic example form to call the controller. They need to provide the email, as you don't know which user to resend too.
<form action=" {!! route('resendEmail') !!}" method="POST">
<label for="email">Your email</label>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" value="example#email.com">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
