Today just asked myself if i can change user password in Laravel via command line, so things will be easier for us to work with Laravel products. I bet many of you use default Laravel user model (which is good for us in this case). if you do, this article is for you, i found an interesting tool within Laravel command line interface name \u2018tinker\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
if you use Ruby on Rails, you can think of Laravel tinker tool as something like `rails console` command , it allows you to interact with your application, you can access directly to models, helpers, classes …etc\u2026 Have you started liking it yet ? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ok, it\u2019s time to get to main purpose of this article – to change user password with tinker tool – a brief introduction to tinker tool . i will make it step-by-step<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1 – start laravel tinker tool<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cd <your_larave_project_directory_path>\nphp artisan tinker\nPsy Shell v0.4.4 (PHP 5.5.28 \u2014 cli) by Justin Hileman\n>>><\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nnow you can start typing whatever you like behind >>> prommpt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2 – Access to User Model<\/p>\n\n\n\n
>>> $user = App\\User::where('email', 'nd.thanh@outlook.com')->first();\n=> <App\\User #0000000051a8ab8a000000014bcb4fe8> {\nid: 342,\nname: 'Thanh, nguyen',\nemail: 'nd.thanh@outlook.com',\ncreated_at: '2015-09-21 19:28:14',\nupdated_at: '2015-09-23 07:48:14',\ncompany: null,\napi_key: null,\ncb_user_id: '',\nfirstname: null,\nlastname: null,\ntimezone: null,\nlast_activity: null,\nenabled: null,\navatar: '',\nidentifier: '',\nadmin_hash: 'admin:9569a4dc201b26a01f19dd7594843da1',\ngroup_id: 0,\nrole_id: 0\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nso this is the query `App\\User::where(’email’, ‘nd.thanh@outlook.com’)->first();` , we have an user instance for my user account now. let\u2019s update password for this user account<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3 – update password
Laravel uses Bcrypt to make password hash by default, which means you can generate a password like string with this command<\/p>\n\n\n\n
>>> echo Hash::make('yourpassword');\n$2y$10$AR.gZdnx6rc9NLLtnuoPzOpOy3D\/NZ.GqhFAl0lO0EgJ8boyqX8yK\n=> null<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nok, we know how to make password , time to update user instance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
>>> $user->password = Hash::make('abc123');\n=> '$2y$10$At6GpoCsB.BQOacms87fAubGRMtu2UqJ44f53IN2EdT43IGDI.5oO'\n\n>>> $user->save()\n=> true<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nthat\u2019s it. my new password is now \u2018abc123\u2019 , you can change yours to what ever you like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
