Forum Laravel.io - registration confirmation

posted 7 years ago

Hi all,

I just starting coding in Laravel. I starting code review Laravel.io sources... I can not understand how User class create by email-adress at account confirmation.

In route we have:

Route::get('email-confirmation/{email_address}/{code}', ['as' => 'email.confirm', 'uses' => 'EmailConfirmationController@confirm']);

In controller:

public function confirm(User $user, string $code) { (...) }

How User param create this Object by email (string)? First param is string.

Many thanks for reply :)

Hey Piotrek,

This is done by route bindings. You can find the file here: routes/bindings.php.

So basically we tell Laravel to return an instance of a user when it tries to pass the email_address to the controller. If it doesn't finds an instance it'll throw a 404.
