How To Use Laravel Passport API
Laravel passport
What is a Passport? APIs typically use tokens to authenticate users and do not maintain session state between requests. Laravel makes API authentication a breeze using Laravel Passport, which provides a full OAuth2 server implementation for your Laravel application development in a matter of minutes.
You have to just follow a few steps to get the following web services
Login API
Register API
Details API
Getting Started
Step 1: Install Package
composer require laravel/passport
open config/app.php file and add service provider.
config/app.php
'providers' =>[
Laravel\Passport\PassportServiceProvider::class,
],
Step 2: Run Migration and Install
php artisan migrate
php artisan passport:install
Step 3: Passport Configuration 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',
];
}
app/Providers/AuthServiceProvider.php
<?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();
}
}
Step 4 :config/auth.php
<?php
return [
'guards' => [
'web' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'users',
],
'api' => [
'driver' => 'passport',
'provider' => 'users',
],
],
Step 5: Create API Route
<?php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| API Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register API routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| is assigned the "api" middleware group. Enjoy building your API!
|
*/
Route::post('login', 'API\UserController@login');
Route::post('register', 'API\UserController@register');
Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth:api'], function(){
Route::post('details', 'API\UserController@details');
});
Step 6: Create the Controller
<?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 UserController extends Controller
{
public $successStatus = 200;
/**
* login api
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function login(){
if(Auth::attempt(['email' => request('email'), 'password' => request('password')])){
$user = Auth::user();
$success['token'] = $user->createToken('MyApp')-> accessToken;
return response()->json(['success' => $success], $this-> successStatus);
}
else{
return response()->json(['error'=>'Unauthorised'], 401);
}
}
/**
* Register api
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
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('MyApp')-> accessToken;
$success['name'] = $user->name;
return response()->json(['success'=>$success], $this-> successStatus);
}
/**
* details api
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function details()
{
$user = Auth::user();
return response()->json(['success' => $user], $this-> successStatus);
}
}
Step 7: Run
php artisan serve
