Exclude route from Laravel authentication

After running php artisan make:auth all the required routes are in the route.php file, but is it possible to remove one (I want to remove the register route)?

Currently I have 

Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
    Route::auth();
});

I know that Route::auth() is a shortcut to add all the routes. Should I specify the routes myself instead of using the shortcut?

In the new releases you can do it like so (in your web.php file):

Auth::routes(['register'=>false]);

You can add a redirect to the /register route like so:

<?php

Auth::routes();

// prevent registration, this needs to be after Auth::routes()
Route::redirect('register', '/home', 301);

I just YOLO and change this in the RegisterController.php

public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('guest');
}

to this

public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('auth');
}

This makes the register page require you to be loged in to reach it.

It's a hack. But it is a good hack.

EDIT: and just add this to your seeder to make life easier:

    $u1= new App\User;
    $u1->name = 'Your name';
    $u1->email = '[email protected]';
    $u1->password = bcrypt('yourPassword');
    $u1->save();

As Mark Davidson said, it's not possible out of the box. But this is how I have handled.

Now it might be overkill, but I pass along an array of what is needed. If no parameters are passed, then default routes are created. 

// Include the authentication and password routes
Route::auth(['authentication', 'password']);

/**
 * Register the typical authentication routes for an application.
 *
 * @param array $options
 * @return void
 */
public function auth(array $options = [])
{
    if ($options) {
        // Authentication Routes...
        if (in_array('authentication', $options)) {
            $this->get('login', 'Auth\AuthController@showLoginForm');
            $this->post('login', 'Auth\AuthController@login');
            $this->get('logout', 'Auth\AuthController@logout');
        }

        // Registration Routes...
        if (in_array('registration', $options)) {
            $this->get('register', 'Auth\AuthController@showRegistrationForm');
            $this->post('register', 'Auth\AuthController@register');
        }

        // Password Reset Routes...
        if (in_array('password', $options)) {
            $this->get('password/reset/{token?}', 'Auth\PasswordController@showResetForm');
            $this->post('password/email', 'Auth\PasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail');
            $this->post('password/reset', 'Auth\PasswordController@reset');
        }
    } else {
        // Authentication Routes...
        $this->get('login', 'Auth\AuthController@showLoginForm');
        $this->post('login', 'Auth\AuthController@login');
        $this->get('logout', 'Auth\AuthController@logout');

        // Registration Routes...
        $this->get('register', 'Auth\AuthController@showRegistrationForm');
        $this->post('register', 'Auth\AuthController@register');

        // Password Reset Routes...
        $this->get('password/reset/{token?}', 'Auth\PasswordController@showResetForm');
        $this->post('password/email', 'Auth\PasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail');
        $this->post('password/reset', 'Auth\PasswordController@reset');
    }
}

For your case, you can probably just pass a boolean as parameter instead of an array. If the boolean is true then do not load the register routes, otherwise load everything.

Hope it helps.

Unfortunately you can't exclude register with the current implementation of Route::auth().

You would have to specify all the routes manually so 

// Authentication Routes...
$this->get('login', 'Auth\AuthController@showLoginForm');
$this->post('login', 'Auth\AuthController@login');
$this->get('logout', 'Auth\AuthController@logout');

// Password Reset Routes...
$this->get('password/reset/{token?}', 'Auth\PasswordController@showResetForm');
$this->post('password/email', 'Auth\PasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail');
$this->post('password/reset', 'Auth\PasswordController@reset');

I think this is a fairly common thing to want to do it would be nice if there was a parameter to the auth method to say without register maybe you could submit a pull-request to the project.
