README

A JSON Web Token Library made to adapt the lcobucci/jwt for Laravel and Lumen.

It uses Asymmetric Algorithm using a private key for signature creation and a public key for verification. This means that it's fine to distribute your public key. However, the private key should remain secret.

Laravel Installation

Via composer

composer require adrianoalves/jwt

Install the package

php artisan jwt:install

Generate private and public keys

php artisan make:jwt-keys

Modify the jwt.php in your config file as necessary and add your app's Policies if necessary.

Change the route driver in your auth.php config file to jwt.

'guards' => [
    'jwt' => [
        'driver' => 'jwt',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],
],

Auth Guard Usage

Routing

Route::middleware('auth:jwt')->get('/user', function (Request $request) {
    return $request->user();
});

// if you set jwt as driver for your api guard
Route::middleware('auth:api')->get('/user', function (Request $request) {
    return $request->user();
});

Login

// Generate a token for the user if the credentials are valid
$token = Auth::attempt($credentials);

User

// Getting the currently authenticated user
$user = Auth::user();
