Download Fresh Laravel
Download Laravel fresh setup using below command, Open command prompt and Type the below command:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel larapassport
Install Passport Package In Laravel
In this step run the below command and install passport package :
composer require laravel/passport
After successfully install laravel passport, register providers. Open config/app.php . and put the bellow code :
// config/app.php
'providers' =>[
Laravel\Passport\PassportServiceProvider::class,
],
Before you run migration command , go to the app/providers/AppServiceProvider.php and put the two line of code inside a boot method :
Use Schema;
public function boot() {
Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
}
Run Migration and Install Laravel Passport
We need to do migration using bellow command. This command create tables in database :
php artisan migrate
We need to install laravel generate passport encrption keys. This command will create the encryption keys needed to generate secure access tokens . like secret key and secret id.
php artisan passport:install
Laravel Passport Configuration
Configuration some file . Next open App/User.php file and put the below code on App/User.php File
use Laravel\Passport\HasApiTokens; use HasApiTokens, App/User.php <?php namespace App; use Laravel\Passport\HasApiTokens; use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable; use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable; class User extends Authenticatable use HasApiTokens, Notifiable; /** The attributes that are mass assignable. * @var array /protected $fillable = ['name', 'email', 'password',];/* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays. * @var array */ protected $hidden = [ 'password', 'remember_token', ]; }
Next Register passport routes in App/Providers/AuthServiceProvider.php, Go to App/Providers/AuthServiceProvider.php and put this => Register Passport::routes(); inside of boot method :
<?php namespace App\Providers; use Laravel\Passport\Passport; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate; use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\AuthServiceProvider as ServiceProvider; class AuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider { /** * The policy mappings for the application. * * @var array */ protected $policies = [ 'App\Model' => 'App\Policies\ModelPolicy', ]; /** * Register any authentication / authorization services. * * @return void */ public function boot() { $this->registerPolicies(); Passport::routes(); } }
config/auth.php
Next go ot config/auth.php and Change the api driver to session to passport . Put this code ‘driver’ => ‘passport’, in api :
[
'web' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'users',
],
'api' => [
'driver' => 'passport',
'provider' => 'users',
],
],
Create API Route
In this step,we will create api routes, go to api.php inside route folder and create below routes here :
Route::prefix('v1')->group(function(){ Route::post('login', 'Api\[email protected]'); Route::post('register', 'Api\[email protected]'); Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth:api'], function() { Route::get('getUser', 'Api\[email protected]'); }); });
Create Controller
Now will create a controller name AuthController. Use the below command and create controller :
php artisan make:controller Api\AuthController
After that we will create some methods in authController :
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; use App\User; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth; use Validator; class AuthController extends Controller { public $successStatus = 200; public function register(Request $request) { $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [ 'name' => 'required', 'email' => 'required|email', 'password' => 'required', 'c_password' => 'required|same:password', ]); if ($validator->fails()) { return response()->json(['error'=>$validator->errors()], 401); } $input = $request->all(); $input['password'] = bcrypt($input['password']); $user = User::create($input); $success['token'] = $user->createToken('AppName')->accessToken; return response()->json(['success'=>$success], $this->successStatus); } public function login(){ if(Auth::attempt(['email' => request('email'), 'password' => request('password')])){ $user = Auth::user(); $success['token'] = $user->createToken('AppName')-> accessToken; return response()->json(['success' => $success], $this-> successStatus); } else{ return response()->json(['error'=>'Unauthorised'], 401); } } public function getUser() { $user = Auth::user(); return response()->json(['success' => $user], $this->successStatus); } }
Lets got terminal & run the command : php artisan serve
Now Test Rest Api in Postman
Laravel Register Api :

Login Api :

Next Step , we will call getUser api, In this api you have to set two header followning :
Call login or register apis put $accessToken.
‘headers’ => [
‘Accept’ => ‘application/json’,
‘Authorization’ => ‘Bearer ‘.$accessToken,
]
Pass header in login / register rest api. it is neccessary to passport authentication in laravel app

Thank you for sharing this!.
The only issue I found was on one of the API routes.
getUser is set as a POST request, and it should be a GET request.
Route::prefix(‘v1’)->group(function(){
Route::post(‘login’, ‘Api\[email protected]’);
Route::post(‘register’, ‘Api\[email protected]’);
Route::group([‘middleware’ => ‘auth:api’], function(){
Route::get(‘getUser’, ‘Api\[email protected]’);
});
});
ive got issue, when i tried to run on my hosting server,
it give me response like this:
{
“message”: “Unauthenticated.”
}
only when i tried to access all route inside group([‘middleware’ => ‘auth:api’]).
