About This Episode:
🔹 Controller Setup
- Create a new RegistrationController inside Http/, with index() and store() methods
- index() displays the registration form
- store() temporarily calls dd($_POST) to confirm input
🔹 View
- Add the form view at views/registration.index.view.php
🔹 Validation
- Write validation rules in fluent style:
- $email = validate('email')->email()->required()->unique('users', 'email');
- Build out the validation logic to support this pattern
🔹 User Model
- Create a Models/User class
- Move relevant DB logic from the controller into the model
🔹 Model Base Enhancements
- In the Model base class:
- Add $is_count to build_query()
- Implement a count() method that supports basic tallying
- In the Database class:
- Add a count() method to execute counting queries
- Add a unique() validation method using model and count
🔹 Data Insertion
- Assemble a $data array with validated inputs
- Call User::insert($data) to create the new user
That’ll wrap up the registration feature and land us at v22-registering-users 🏁
