Answer 1

can you use an example like this>

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Actions\Fortify\PasswordValidationRules;
use Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use App\Models\User;

class AuthController extends Controller
{
    //
    use PasswordValidationRules;

    public function login() {
        request()->validate([
            'email' => 'required|email',
            'password' => 'required',
            'device_name' => 'required'
        ]);
        $user = User::where('email', request()->email)->first();
        if (! $user || ! Hash::check(request()->password, $user->password)) {
            throw ValidationException::withMessages([
                'email' => ['Bad credentials, please try again'],
            ]);
        }
        return [
             //Here you get the Token      
            "token" => $user->createToken(request()->device_name)->plainTextToken
        ];
    }
}

Answer 2

Use this to generate token::

Structure::

$client->createToken(’set token name you wants’)->accessToken;

Example::

$token =  $client->createToken(’laravel’)->accessToken;

Answer 3

I've been going absolutely insane about this issue. It just made no freaking sense as to why it kept spitting out the stupid Unauthenticated error when trying to hit-up a route such as /api/user, After much searching (MUCH searching). I finally found the answer, If you see this fero from Laracasts, you're my hero!

Did you check app\Providers\RouteServiceProvider.php?

in the mapApiRoutes() you can set the middleware. check to make sure its auth:api. if its not, change it. also, remove the auth middleware from the route api.php file.

https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/laravel-53-passport-api-unauthenticated-in-postman-using-personal-access-tokens

Edit:

Once you've made the change to the app\Providers\RouteServiceProvider.php mentioned above, proceed with the below example.

First things first, we need to retrieve a fresh access_token. To do this, I'm using the password grant_type (more info: https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/passport#password-grant-tokens )

To retrieve a fresh access_token, I've created a new route on routes/web.php and called it /connect. I've then placed the code from the above link into it:

Route::get('connect', function (Request $request) {
    $http = new GuzzleHttp\Client;

    $response = $http->post('http://example.com/oauth/token', [
        'form_params' => [
            'grant_type' => 'password',
            'client_id' => $request->client_id,
            'client_secret' => $request->client_secret,
            'username' => $request->username,
            'password' => $request->password,
            'scope' => ''
        ],
    ]);

    return json_decode((string) $response->getBody(), true);
});

Using Chrome Postman, you need to:

Set the method to GET Enter the connect URL with the relevant params ie http://example.com/connect?client_id=1&client_secret=W2zogh7tiBh2jfHleYuzpViv7dqynDYQ6O07DKLj&username=test@test.com&password=123456 Click the headers tab (it's next to Authorization), add a key of Accept and value of application/json Hit the Send button Example result:

{
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_in": 31535999,
  "access_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImp0aSI6ImE0MmFiYjZkNTQ5M2ZjMGQxYzVmM2E3MDFlOTNjMTRlOTQxMTBmNWQ5NmI1ODI0NTBmMmEyM2MwMzQ5OTMwODdiZGUwYTI5ZDU5N2VjYTExIn0.eyJhdWQiOiIxIiwianRpIjoiYTQyYWJiNmQ1NDkzZmMwZDFjNWYzYTcwMWU5M2MxNGU5NDExMGY1ZDk2YjU4MjQ1MGYyYTIzYzAzNDk5MzA4N2JkZTBhMjlkNTk3ZWNhMTEiLCJpYXQiOjE0OTE0Njg4ODIsIm5iZiI6MTQ5MTQ2ODg4MiwiZXhwIjoxNTIzMDA0ODgxLCJzdWIiOiI3NWNlZDUwMC0xNTQ0LTExZTctOWE4ZS1hZDVmMWFlZTM4OWUiLCJzY29wZXMiOltdfQ.dV3DKDM7IN-oGnZ_Rw10VnYkh9ySlz5i859yO0roZLAYwgmsmEEZK_vpttudUoKmYenqibZQXg6HG4KHRd-cgas_2DpO-7UCkXQYNTriUUAQ4XM6To86EOaf2BW1a07kdVGXTdo_ETQc7heUG0NWQ8-Hrr2NHkSyDULupDs8gDg_fg6xSVsFUEDZB32UIGwquAHT1Y21ZpTdQar0Rag9qOLeZYTR05ro0v9_rQbSoDgJiZE3KT9GbqwU_BegWRmAwY6LmxG4raZpSMgqYEMo3D9D0lJiomOLK4pSjqmi0EVti04zZ6Vg4GHE6S1TgC6IlakV2bMItXTWuZT6T0jEba-3ctaC4K2T8F4P8J6t-99mKY-_zSwgfGm1FErK09qixJlZ4zFsCCT7MgNQVoyu7GkJdTJVlpL1QXLc1QhfrtW11a4gg4Nlja_VyRdB9fZHomgMLpvm_HvSlqEvpeWb8wGkCts9w7ivSNLim-LuFgswGNhTZZqLEbuwB6sJV-l1V0MJCq7_h0yTmLlBdoUkxCaDJJvkUSLk0MUaalAAzY1OCxm-tJcKn31m4yOwf25ZDWf8tWuOTKarEbFyxjB0elkxXQXGe7J7TJAg0tuIEQ8YTL3ExJQ6I7zwtCL83bPOWYRGlJrsX6Lsf0qB-xMVD2DzA3JKDKvZTp5x92kP821",

}

Highlight the access_token string and copy it to a text editor.

You'll then need to create a new route in routes/api.php. The route below will simply output the current API users' info:

Route::group(['prefix' => 'user'], function() {
    Route::get('/', function() {
        return response()->json(request()->user());
    });
});

Once you've done the above, make these changes to Postman:

Set the method to GET Change the URL to point to the API route ie http://example.com/api/user Click on the headers tab again and add a new key of Authorization and value of Bearer access_token_here (replace access_token_here with the access token you copied earlier) Hit the Send button Example output:

  "id": "75ced500-1544-11e7-9a8e-ad5f1aee389e",
  "name": "test test",
  "email": "test@test.com",
  "created_at": "2017-03-30 23:29:03",
  "updated_at": "2017-03-30 23:29:03"
