Laravel Jetstream: Add Field to Profile Form

Laravel Jetstream comes with a default profile management. What if you want to add a field there? Let me show you, in this quick tutorial.

We'll add a new field called Surname to users' profile information. First, we need to add migration to add that field into the users table.

php artisan make:migration "add surname to users table"

database/migrations/xxxx_add_surname_to_users_table.php

return new class extends Migration
{
public function up(): void
{
Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->string('surname')->nullable()->after('name');
});
}
};

Next, we need to add the field itself. This needs to be done in resources/views/profile/update-profile-information.blade.php and we'll add a field just under the name.

resources/views/profile/update-profile-information.blade.php:

// ...
<!-- Name -->
<div class="col-span-6 sm:col-span-4">
<x-label for="name" value="{{ __('Name') }}" />
<x-input id="name" type="text" class="mt-1 block w-full" wire:model.defer="state.name" autocomplete="name" />
<x-input-error for="name" class="mt-2" />
</div>
 
<!--
<div class="col-span-6 sm:col-span-4">
<x-label for="surname" value="{{ __('Surname') }}" />
<x-input id="surname" type="text" class="mt-1 block w-full" wire:model.defer="state.surname" autocomplete="surname" />
<x-input-error for="surname" class="mt-2" />
</div>
// ...

Now you have a new field on the profile page.

All that's left is to save the value into the DB.

We just need to add this field to the Fortify-powered Action file.

app/Actions/Fortify/UpdateUserProfileInformation.php:

class UpdateUserProfileInformation implements UpdatesUserProfileInformation
{
public function update(User $user, array $input): void
{
Validator::make($input, [
'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
'surname' => ['nullable', 'string', 'min:3', 'max:255'],
'email' => ['required', 'email', 'max:255', Rule::unique('users')->ignore($user->id)],
'photo' => ['nullable', 'mimes:jpg,jpeg,png', 'max:1024'],
])->validateWithBag('updateProfileInformation');
 
if (isset($input['photo'])) {
$user->updateProfilePhoto($input['photo']);
}
 
if ($input['email'] !== $user->email &&
$user instanceof MustVerifyEmail) {
$this->updateVerifiedUser($user, $input);
} else {
$user->forceFill([
'name' => $input['name'],
'surname' => $input['surname'],
'email' => $input['email'],
])->save();
}
}
 
protected function updateVerifiedUser(User $user, array $input): void
{
$user->forceFill([
'name' => $input['name'],
'surname' => $input['surname'],
'email' => $input['email'],
'email_verified_at' => null,
])->save();
 
$user->sendEmailVerificationNotification();
}
}

And that's it! That is how easy it is to add a new field to the Jetstream profile form.

Stars have aligned - just something I was looking for and this is great. Do we always change UpdateUserProfileInformation.php or there is another way to extend it so it's less problematic in case of updates?

I don't see this way as problematic, to be honest.
