Trigger validation by email

[AlbertoMoricca]

Hi,

I read the documentation available but I didn't understand how to trigger the validation of the user by email included in Shield after the user registration.

I edited the Auth.php with the following code as specified in documentation:
public array $actions = [ 'register' => 'CodeIgniter\Shield\Authentication\Actions\EmailActivator', 'login' => null, ];

But my question is: How can I trigger the email activator in the registration controller? Following the last instructions of my registration controller code:

 $users = model('UserModel');
 $user = new User([
                'username'    => $this->request->getVar('email'),
                'email'    => $this->request->getVar('email'),
                'password' => $this->request->getVar('password')
            ]);
 $users->save($user);

 return redirect()->to('/home');

Thanks and best regards,
Alberto

See the Shield RegisterController:

Thanks for the help. Just another question: Are these controllers active after the Shield framework installation or must be copied in the project to be used (they are only "examples")?

I think the second answer because I copied the code from RegisterController and now say me "file not found" error for the path "auth/a/show".

They are active, not examples. They are used by default.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I will check how to trigger these included components.
