Overwrite default password reset process in Laravel 5.3 - php

Question

I am currently writing an application that is using Laravel 5.3 on the backend, and I'm looking for a way to overwrite the default password reset behaviour.
The class that I need to change is "ResetPassword" located here:
/Illuminate/Auth/Notifications/ResetPassword.php
Reason for the change is, that the reset url generated in this file is not correct for my front-end - as it uses url(), which puts the API url rather then the front-end url in the reset email.

Answer 1

You can override CanResetPassword's sendPasswordResetNotification() method in your User.php
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use App\Notifications\CustomResetPasswordNotification;
public function sendPasswordResetNotification($token)
{
$this->notify(new CustomResetPasswordNotification($token));
}
and create CustomResetPasswordNotification.php according your requirements.

Answer 2

I found a quick and easy way to overwrite the password reset process by overwriting the User class located here:
/Illuminate/Foundation/Auth/User.php
Basically, I created my own version like this:
<?php
namespace App\Traits\Auth;
use Illuminate\Auth\Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use App\Traits\Auth\Passwords\CanResetPassword;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\Access\Authorizable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable as AuthenticatableContract;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Access\Authorizable as AuthorizableContract;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\CanResetPassword as CanResetPasswordContract;
class User extends Model implements
AuthenticatableContract,
AuthorizableContract,
CanResetPasswordContract
{
use Authenticatable, Authorizable, CanResetPassword;
}
I saved it to /App/Traits/Auth and now use it in my User model.
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use App\Traits\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
}
Once finished, you can create your own version of the "CanResetPassword" trait and replace the Notification class and make necesarry adjustments.
Here is an example replacement for the "CanResetPassword" trait:
namespace App\Traits\Auth\Passwords;
use App\Notifications\CustomResetPassword as ResetPasswordNotification;
trait CanResetPassword
{
/**
* Get the e-mail address where password reset links are sent.
*
* #return string
*/
public function getEmailForPasswordReset()
{
return $this->email;
}
/**
* Send the password reset notification.
*
* #param string $token
* #return void
*/
public function sendPasswordResetNotification($token)
{
$this->notify(new ResetPasswordNotification($token));
}
}
