title: Adding form fields when a new user registers with application
body: <p>I'm trying to add a field to the <code>users</code> table created by Laravel 5. I've modified the migration to add that field:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class CreateUsersTable extends Migration
  {
      public function up()
      {
          Schema::create('users', function(Blueprint $table)
          {
              $table-&gt;increments('id');
              $table-&gt;string('name');
              $table-&gt;string('email')-&gt;unique();
              $table-&gt;string('password', 60);
              $table-&gt;string('my_new_field'); // Added this field
              $table-&gt;rememberToken();
              $table-&gt;timestamps();
          });
      }
      ...    
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm using the default authentication system provided by Laravel. Whenever a new user registers, I need <code>my_new_field</code> to be set to some value. How (and where) do I do that?</p>
  
  <p>The <code>AuthController</code> handles the authentication process. It uses the <code>trait AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers</code> where the <code>postRegister()</code> function handles the registration requests. But where are the actual values inserted?</p>
