Forget Password in Laravel Full Code Steps for Gmail API

 Forget Password in Laravel Full Code Steps for Gmail API

    Sample code for the "Forgot Password" functionality in Laravel. Please note that this is a basic implementation, and you may need to customize it based on your specific requirements.

    Here's the step-by-step process to implement the "Forgot Password" functionality in Laravel:

  • Create a route:
Create a route in your 'routes/web.php' file to handle the password reset functionality.

Route::get('/forgot-password','ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm')->name('password.request');
Route::post('/forgot-password', 'ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail')->name('password.email');
Route::get('/reset-password/{token}', 'ResetPasswordController@showResetForm')->name('password.reset');
Route::post('/reset-password', 'ResetPasswordController@reset')->name('password.update');

  • Create the views: Create the necessary views for the password reset functionality. In this example, we'll use the default Laravel authentication views.
  • Generate the password reset controllers: Run the following command in your terminal to generate the necessary controllers:
php artisan make:controller ForgotPasswordController
php artisan make:controller ResetPasswordController

  • Implement the controllers:
Open the 'ForgotPasswordController' and 'ResetPasswordController' files and update them with the following code:  

'app/Http/Controllers/ForgotPasswordController.php':

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Password;

class ForgotPasswordController extends Controller
{
    public function showLinkRequestForm()
    {
        return view('auth.forgot-password');
    }

    public function sendResetLinkEmail(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'email' => 'required|email',
        ]);

        $status = Password::sendResetLink(
            $request->only('email')
        );

        return $status === Password::RESET_LINK_SENT
            ? redirect()->back()->with('status', trans($status))
            : redirect()->back()->withErrors(['email' => trans($status)]);
    }
}

'app/Http/Controllers/ResetPasswordController.php':

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Password;

class ResetPasswordController extends Controller
{
    public function showResetForm(Request $request)
    {
        $token = $request->route()->parameter('token');

        return view('auth.reset-password', ['token' => $token]);
    }

    public function reset(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'token' => 'required',
            'email' => 'required|email',
            'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:8',
        ]);

        $status = Password::reset(
            $request->only('email', 'password', 'password_confirmation', 'token'),
            function ($user, $password) {
                $user->forceFill([
                    'password' => bcrypt($password),
                    'remember_token' => Str::random(60),
                ])->save();
            }
        );

        return $status === Password::PASSWORD_RESET
            ? redirect()->route('login')->with('status', trans($status))
            : redirect()->back()->withErrors(['email' => trans($status)]);
    }
}


follow the steps outlined in the "Using OAuth 2.0 for Server-Side Applications" documentation provided by Google. This involves setting up OAuth 2.0 authentication for your application to access the Gmail API securely.

Here are the general steps to use the Gmail API with OAuth 2.0:

  1. Go to the Google API Console: 'https://console.developers.google.com/'
  • Create a new project or select an existing project.
  • In the project dashboard, click on "Enable APIs and Services."
  • Search for "Gmail API" and select it.
  • Click the "Enable" button to enable the Gmail API for your project.
      2. Set up OAuth 2.0 credentials:
  • In the API console, navigate to "Credentials" on the left sidebar.
  • Click on the "Create credentials" button and select "OAuth client ID."
  • Choose the application type as "Web application" or "Other."
  • Provide a name for your OAuth 2.0 client ID.
  • Set the authorized JavaScript origins and redirect URIs based on your application's requirements. For local development, you can use 'http://localhost:YOUR_PORT_NUMBER.'
  • Click on the "Create" button to generate your OAuth 2.0 client ID and client secret.
  • Make note of the generated client ID and client secret as you'll need them later.
      3. Obtain user consent:
  • Construct the authorization URL using your client ID, required scopes, and redirect URI.
  • Redirect the user to the authorization URL, where they will be prompted to grant permission for your application to access their Gmail account.
  • Once the user grants consent, they will be redirected back to the redirect URI you specified in the credentials.
      4. Exchange authorization code for access token and refresh token:
  • After the user is redirected to your specified redirect URI, you will receive an authorization code.
  • Exchange the authorization code for an access token and refresh token by making a POST request to the Google OAuth 2.0 token endpoint. You'll need to include your client ID, client secret, redirect URI, authorization code, and grant type in the request body.
  • Save the access token and refresh token for later use.
      5. Send emails using the Gmail API:
  • Use the access token obtained in step 4 to authenticate your requests to the Gmail API.
  • Create an email message following the Gmail API's specifications, including the recipient(s), subject, and content.
  • Make an API call to the Gmail API's 'users.messages.send' endpoint, passing the email message as the request payload.
  • The Gmail API will send the email on behalf of the authenticated user.
      6. Handle access token expiration and refresh:
  • Access tokens obtained in step 4 have a limited lifespan. When the access token expires, you'll need to use the refresh token to obtain a new access token without requiring user consent.
  • Implement a mechanism in your application to refresh the access token using the refresh token when needed.
Please refer to the official Gmail API documentation for detailed instructions, code samples, and the specific libraries or SDKs you may choose to use with your programming language or framework.
