Add custom attribute in magento 2

How to add a custom field to the frontend registration form.
I already added required feilds in database by following 

public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
{
    $eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
    $eavSetup->addAttribute(
        MagentoCustomerModelCustomer::ENTITY,
        'sample_attribute',
        [
            'type'         => 'varchar',
            'label'        => 'Sample Attribute',
            'input'        => 'text',
            'required'     => false,
            'visible'      => true,
            'user_defined' => true,
            'position'     => 999,
            'system'       => 0,
        ]
    );
    $sampleAttribute = $this->eavConfig->getAttribute(Customer::ENTITY, 'sample_attribute');

    // more used_in_forms ['adminhtml_checkout','adminhtml_customer','adminhtml_customer_address','customer_account_edit','customer_address_edit','customer_register_address']
    $sampleAttribute->setData(
        'used_in_forms',
        ['adminhtml_customer']

    );
    $sampleAttribute->save();
}

my feild listed in magento admin. I’m unable to display it in frontend

    first thing that comes to my eyes is that attributes are created just for the backend, if you set

    'used_in_forms' => ['adminhtml_customer']

    only, it will display only in backend. You at least have to add 

    'used_in_forms' => ['adminhtml_customer', 
'customer_account_edit','customer_address_edit','customer_register_address']

    but you should post also the code of your register form in frontend

        $attribute->save();
    }

}

    After that run Below Commands:

    • php bin/magento setup:upgrade
    • php bin/magento cache:flush

    The path of customer_account_create.xml should be Vendor_Moduleviewfrontendlayout.

    For those who are new to Magento and do not know about all the filename and filepath conventions to be precise is very important to avoid spending time searching for errors.
