JWT Auth Middleware

JWT authentication middleware for the Laravel and Lumen framework.

About

This package allows you to authenticate the incoming requests with JWT authentication.

Installation

Require the ngabor84/laravel-jwt-auth package in your composer.json and update your dependencies:

composer require ngabor84/laravel-jwt-auth

Usage with Laravel

Add the service provider to the providers array in the config/app.php config file as follows:

'providers' => [
    ...
    \Middleware\Auth\Jwt\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider::class,
]

Run the following command to publish the package config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Middleware\Auth\Jwt\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider"

You should now have a config/jwt.php file that allows you to configure the basics of this package.

Usage with Lumen

Add the following snippet to the bootstrap/app.php file under the providers section as follows:

$app->register(\Middleware\Auth\Jwt\Providers\LumenServiceProvider::class);
...
$app->configure('jwt');

Create a config directory (if it's not exist), and create an jwt.php in it with the plugin configuration like this:

return [
    'secret' => env('JWT_SECRET'),
    'algo' => 'HS256',
    'expiration' => 10, // 10 minutes
    'decorateRequestWithTokenPayload' => false, // if it's true then after authentication the request will contain a tokenPayload attribute with the payload of the JWT token
];
