[SOLVED] how to implement the code below in laravel for a password

how to implement the code below in laravel for a password

i am following along a video course from tutsplus -getting started with laravel- and managed up to vid 19 securing the admin panel. My problem as follows. i cannot login to the system because i don't have a valid email-password. in the db there are dummy user emails and hashed pw's but i cannot use because already hashed and i don't know the pw's.

i found this post How to create a laravel hashed password

however artisan tinker doesn't work because REPL not supported.Falling back to simple shell.

$password = 'JohnDoe';
$hashedPassword = Hash::make($password);
echo $hashedPassword; // $2y$10$jSAr/RwmjhwioDlJErOk9OQEO7huLz9O6Iuf/udyGbHPiTNuB3Iuy

makes sense - to create a new user with known pw but i don't know where and how to implement the code so it spits out the hash in the browser. I tried making a file in the model as well as route and stuck in the code.. to no avail. or maybe easier way? Can someone help thx.

Solution

Place this in your routes.php

Route::get('hash/{password}', function($password){
    echo Hash::make($password);
});

And then open your-project.dev/hash/JohnDoe in your browser.
