Create Migration

php artisan make:migration create_users_activation_table

Your migration file is stored here database\migrations\2016_11_01_152432_create_users_activation_table.php

<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateUsersActivationTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
      Schema::create('user_activations', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->increments('id');
        $table->integer('id_user')->unsigned();
        $table->foreign('id_user')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
        $table->string('token');
        $table->timestamp('created_at')->default(DB::raw('CURRENT_TIMESTAMP'));
      });

      Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
          $table->boolean('is_activated')->default(0);
      });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
      Schema::drop("user_activations");
      Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->dropColumn('is_activated');
      });
    }
}

User Model

protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'email', 'password', 'is_activated',
    ];

Next, migrate our new table

php artisan migrate

Add New Routes

Route::get('/user/activation/{token}', 'Auth\RegisterController@userActivation');

Add Controller (app\Http\Controllers\Auth\RegisterController.php)

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use App\User;
use Validator;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\RegistersUsers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use DB;
use Mail;

class RegisterController extends Controller
{
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Register Controller
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This controller handles the registration of new users as well as their
    | validation and creation. By default this controller uses a trait to
    | provide this functionality without requiring any additional code.
    |
    */

    use RegistersUsers;

    /**
     * Where to redirect users after login / registration.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $redirectTo = '/home';

    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('guest');
    }

    /**
     * Get a validator for an incoming registration request.
     *
     * @param  array  $data
     * @return IlluminateContractsValidationValidator
     */
    protected function validator(array $data)
    {
        return Validator::make($data, [
            'name' => 'required|max:255',
            'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
            'password' => 'required|min:6|confirmed',
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
     *
     * @param  array  $data
     * @return User
     */
    protected function create(array $data)
    {
        return User::create([
            'name' => $data['name'],
            'email' => $data['email'],
            'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
        ]);
    }
    public function register(Request $request) {
      $input = $request->all();
      $validator = $this->validator($input);

      if ($validator->passes()){
        $user = $this->create($input)->toArray();
        $user['link'] = str_random(30);

        DB::table('user_activations')->insert(['id_user'=>$user['id'],'token'=>$user['link']]);

        Mail::send('emails.activation', $user, function($message) use ($user){
          $message->to($user['email']);
          $message->subject('www.hc-kr.com - Activation Code');
        });
        return redirect()->to('login')->with('success',"We sent activation code. Please check your mail.");
      }
      return back()->with('errors',$validator->errors());
    }

    public function userActivation($token){
      $check = DB::table('user_activations')->where('token',$token)->first();
      if(!is_null($check)){
        $user = User::find($check->id_user);
        if ($user->is_activated ==1){
          return redirect()->to('login')->with('success',"user are already actived.");

        }
        $user->update(['is_activated' => 1]);
        DB::table('user_activations')->where('token',$token)->delete();
        return redirect()->to('login')->with('success',"user active successfully.");
      }
      return redirect()->to('login')->with('Warning',"your token is invalid");
    }
}

Add Message in View (resources\views\auth\login.blade.php)

@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
