So in this course, we're going to build out a starter kit with Inertia and Laravel Fortify. And the goal of this course really is to learn more about Fortify and how you can integrate it into a more front-end based application
00:13
that you would normally build with Inertia. So essentially, if you've never heard of Fortify, it's a front-end agnostic auth implementation for Laravel. So basically, when we install this package, it's going to give us a ton of
00:25
controllers and actions that will do things like create accounts for us, allow us to sign in, it will allow us to enable two-factor authentication, all the good stuff that you'd want to integrate into an app. And doing this from scratch is a really good way to, first of all,
00:40
learn about Fortify and how to integrate it. Second of all, it's a really good way to learn more about Inertia. So we're gonna be covering a huge amount here. This looks really simple on the surface, but there's a ton of stuff that we're
00:52
gonna go through here, which is gonna help you hopefully build better applications. So let's go ahead and have a look around. It's probably what you would expect, but let's check it out anyway. Okay, so I'm gonna head over to the dashboard.
01:03
As you can see, we get stuff like root protection here, so we have to sign in to be able to do this. Let's create out a new account here to kick things off. So let's go ahead and enter an email address and a password.
01:16
And once we've created that account, it's gonna go ahead and bump us into the verify email section. And that is because we're trying to access the dashboard, which is protected. So we do have the ability to force users to verify their email address for
01:32
specific routes. So let's go over to our email provider here, and let's go ahead and click Verify Email Address. We are in, and we can access pretty much everywhere now.
01:41
And you can apply this middleware to any of your routes, it really depends. Okay, so let's go over to our account section here, and you can see that we've got the ability to update basic profile information. We can change our name, our email address, and
01:54
that's gonna go ahead and flash a message. So this host message that you can see here, we're gonna be building completely from scratch. We're gonna build our own view plugin for this,
02:03
which is gonna hook into Inertia's router. So when we flash this on the back end with Laravel within a Fortify response, that's gonna then come through to the front end and show that within a view component, and we can control it as much as we need,
02:18
cuz we're gonna build it ourselves. But if you want to, you can swap that out for a third party solution, and we'll see how that works later. Okay, so another thing that we're doing is, of course,
02:29
avatar upload, so you can choose a new profile photo. Let's go ahead and choose someone here, hit Update, and sure enough, that gets updated. Everything is reflected in real time as well, which is really nice.
02:41
Okay, so our security section, we've got the ability to change a password. I'm not gonna demo that, it's pretty boring. But more excitingly, we've got the ability to enable two-factor authentication. So when I click on this, this is gonna ask me to confirm my password,
02:55
which is another thing that we're gonna have to implement. So confirm password can be applied to any of your routes, so you can protect any of your routes if you need to. In this case, for two-factor authentication, it is required.
03:06
So I'm gonna go ahead and enter my password here. That's gonna bump me into this modal with a QR code. So I'm gonna go ahead and grab my phone and just scan this QR code out. And that's gonna give me a code on here,
03:19
which I can enter to enable two-factor authentication. So let's go ahead and do that now quickly. And I'm gonna hit Continue, and there we go, two-factor authentication is enabled.
03:30
So a nice flow to go ahead and do this. We can also show our recovery codes here as well. And of course, we can disable this. So let's go ahead and enter our email address to sign back in.
03:41
And of course, we get our two-factor authentication prompt, which is exactly what we want. So I'm gonna go ahead and enter the code that we registered earlier. And there we go, we are back in.
03:52
So that's pretty much everything we're gonna cover. There are a couple of other things that we need to do along the way. But like I said before, this is a really good exercise to learn about Fortify and integrate something like Fortify into Inertia.
04:04
There are a ton of things in here that are gonna require a little bit of work and a little bit of manual implementation of certain things to get everything flowing how we need to. So hopefully this gives you really good knowledge about Inertia, Fortify, and
04:18
everything you need to build something like this. Let's head over to the next few episodes, get a load of stuff set up like our modals, all that good stuff, and then we can start implementing every single feature that Fortify gives us.

Overview

Let’s build our own Laravel starter kit with Inertia and include all the features you’d expect. We’ll implement authentication, email verification, profile photo uploads, two factor authentication, and more.

Fortify is a frontend agnostic authentication package for Laravel, meaning most of the work is done for us — we just need to build the frontend and make requests to the endpoints that Fortify registers.

Once you’re done, you’ll have a clean slate for building your next project, with the ability to control everything in your own starter kit.
