In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a Bootstrap 5 Auth Scaffolding in Laravel 9. Auth Scaffolding automatically creates a user registration, login, dashboard, logout, reset password and email verification with the help of Laravel UI package.

If you want to create Laravel custom user registration and login then check out my tutorial.

If you want to create user registration with email confirmation then check out my tutorial on Laravel Bootstrap Auth Scaffolding with email confirmation

Without further delay, lets start building Laravel 9 Boostrap 5 Auth Scaffolding.

Steps to Create Laravel 9 Bootstrap 5 Auth Scaffolding

Follow the below simple steps to create Bootstrap Auth Scaffolding in Laravel 9.

1. Install Laravel 9 App
2. Install Laravel UI Package
3. Install Bootstrap 5 Auth Scaffolding
4. Install and Run NPM Packages
5. Configuration Database Credentials
6. Migrate Tables to Database
7. Run Laravel Development Server

1. Install Laravel 9 App

Open the terminal or command prompt and navigate to your desired directory where you want to install Laravel 9 application. I preferred workspace directory on my Desktop.

cd desktop\workspace

Now install the latest Laravel 9 version with name Laravel9Auth using the below command.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel:^9.0 Laravel9Auth

2. Install Laravel UI Package

In second step, first I will change the directory to the Laravel9Auth location

cd Laravel9Auth

and then install Laravel UI package before creating Auth Scaffolding using the below command.

composer require laravel/ui

3. Install Bootstrap 5 Auth Scaffolding

Now in this step, I will install Boostrap 5 Auth Scaffolding by running the below command.

php artisan ui bootstrap --auth

4. Install and Run NPM Packages

I have successfully created auth scaffolding, so lets install NPM and Run NPM, run the below commands.

npm install --save-dev vite laravel-vite-plugin

Make sure that you have installed Node.js in your machine otherwise you will not be able to run npm commands. If you do not have it, visit Node.js official website, download and install it.

It will take some time to install node modules completely on your Laravel 9 application, once node modules are installed, then first make changes in your package.json file and then run the NPM Build using the below command.

"scripts": {
        "dev": "vite",
        "build": "vite build"
    }

npm run build

If it ask you to run twice the npm run build, then follow the instruction and run again npm run build

And if you are using MAC or Linux, you can run both together like below.

npm install && npm run build

Once the Laravel mix is compiled successfully, you will get the following message on your terminal or command prompt.

5. Configuration Database Credentials

The most important step is that configure your database credentials on your Laravel 9 app. Go to your application root directory, find .env file and enter your database credentials like below.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=your_db_name
DB_USERNAME=your_db_username
DB_PASSWORD=your_db_password

Make sure that your machine already have MySQL or MariaDB installed along with PHP. If you do not have MySQL/MariaDB then you can install it through XAMPP.

I have created a separate tutorial to install XAMPP which comes with PHP, MariaDB and Apache, follow the steps to install XAMPP on Windows 10/11.

Now we have MariaDB installed, make sure your database is running before you execute database migration command.
