Authenticator

A Laravel package for API Authentication based on Laravel Passport.

Note: This package requires Laravel Passport to be installed.

Installation

Via Composer

$ composer require soumen-dey/api-authenticator

Usage

Functionality

This package uses the default implementation for Auth that Laravel ships out of the box for validation and various other purposes.

So the validation, user table structure (except for the tokens part) should be similar for both web and api.

Note: This package uses the default User model in the App\Usernamespace. Feel free to modify the source code if you want to change this.

Adding the routes:

In your routes/api.php file, add the following:

Authenticator::routes();

This will add the required routes which are:

POST api/register
POST api/login

Note: Make sure that your request has these headers:

Content-Type: application/json
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest

These are the API endpoints for authenticating users. The payload for these endpoints should be same as for the web auth, any extra payload depends on the application's logic.
