How to run more logic after user registration in Laravel 5

I am using the default user registrar in Laravel 5. When the user registers there is some information stored in the session so after the user has been created I want to run some code to process the session data, store it and link it to the user. Would I just amend the create method in the registrar from this:

public function create(array $data)
{
    return User::create([
        'name' => $data['name'],
        'email' => $data['email'],
        'password' => bcrypt($data['password'])
    ]);
}

to this:

public function create(array $data)
{
    $user = User::create([
        'name' => $data['name'],
        'email' => $data['email'],
        'password' => bcrypt($data['password'])
    ]);

    // do my other logic to process session data here

    return $user;
}

Or is there a better way to do it?

You can use a model event, place this code in your model.

public static function boot()
{
    static::created(function($model)
    {
        //do other logic here
    });
}

http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/eloquent#model-events

You can also opt for a model observer:

<?php namespace App\Observers;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model as Eloquent;

class UserObserver {

    public function created(Eloquent $model)
    {
        //do other logic
    }
}

You'll need a listener to this observer:

\App\User::observe(new \App\Observers\UserObserver);

You can place the listener in the routes.php file to test it.

Later on you can move the listener to a more appropriate location such as a ServiceProvider.
