README

This package offers a different type on API key system for Laravel. The other options are either too simple or too complex.

Laravel ships with a guard that will allow you to create an access_token field in your user migration. This allows easy access to the api routes.

This package offers:

• multiple keys per user
• sandbox and production keys
• scopes

Laravel/Passport is a the full on oauth implementation. This is a little more simple.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require nrml-co/laravel-api-keys
php artisan migrate

Laravel 5.8 and above will register the service provider automatically.

Usage - Creating Keys

First add the HasApiKeys trait to the User model that ships with Laravel.

use NrmlCo\LaravelApiKeys\HasApiKeys;


/**
 * Class User
 * @package App
 */
class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;
    use HasApiKeys;

Next create a User. Easiest to to this part in tinker.

$user = User::create([
        'name' => 'Ed Anisko',
        'email' => 'ed@nrml.co',
        'email_verified_at' => now(),
        'password' => '$2y$10$92IXUNpkjO0rOQ5byMi.Ye4oKoEa3Ro9llC/.og/at2.uheWG/igi', // password
        'remember_token' => Str::random(10)
        ]);

The user needs to be logged in. Programmatically it looks like this.

Auth::setUser($user);

Now the package will create ApiKeys for the authorized user.

LaravelApiKeys::create(); // default is SANDBOX

Copy the new api key.

Using the your API Keys

Add the new entry to the guards section of config/auth.php

    'guards' => [
        'web' => [
            'driver' => 'session',
            'provider' => 'users',
        ],

        'api' => [
            'driver' => 'token',
            'provider' => 'users',
            'hash' => false,
        ],

        "api_key" => [
            'driver' => 'api_key'
        ]

    ]

Use the 'auth:api_key' middleware in api.php routes.

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

Replace the x-api-key header with your own api-key and test. Use the header Accept: application/json.

$ curl -X GET \
  http://homestead.test/api/user \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  -H 'x-api-key: al4PA8V5jSuq4oFJOxK6lS4CeZEkDFtayBObJTHJ'

The above curl command will return the user authorized by the ApiKey.

{
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Ed Anisko",
    "email": "ed@nrml.co",    
    "created_at": "2019-10-17 07:18:59",
    "updated_at": "2019-10-17 07:18:59"
}
