### Setting Up WordPress

[](#setting-up-wordpress)

This library could use other authentication systems but only JWT is implimented.

- Have WordPress 4.7 or later
- Install [JWT Authentication for the WP REST API](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jwt-authentication-for-wp-rest-api/)
- Set the right constants as describe in the plugin's readme.
- Activate plugin

### Add WordPress Login To Your App

[](#add-wordpress-login-to-your-app)

- Config

    - Publish config and set url for WordPress site or use `WPUSERWPURL` in your .env
    - URL must include `/wp-json/` (or whatever) you use WITH trailing slash.
- Add a login route, for example

```
Route::post('/wp-login', function( \calderawp\WPUser\JWTAuthenticator $authenticator, \Illuminate\Http\Request $request ){
	if( $request->has( 'username' ) && $request->has( 'password' ) ){
		if( $authenticator->login( $request->input( 'username'), $request->input( 'password' ) ) ){
			$user = \calderawp\WPUser\Model\Model::fromAuth( $authenticator );
		}

		//return an error;
	}
});

```

NOTES:

- This uses a User Model from the package. No migration is provided to save.
- You could save the WP User in database, with token.

### Example To Authenticate User

[](#example-to-authenticate-user)

```
    //SUPER IMPORTANT to use a trialing slash after wp-json
    $wpApiUrl = 'https://roysivan.com/wp-json/';
    $authClient = \calderawp\WPUser\Factory::jwtAuthenticator( $wpApiUrl, [
        //args to pass to constructor of GuzzleHttp\Client
     ] );

    //BTW- in local testing, might want to set verify false
    // $authClient = \calderawp\WPUser\Factory::jwtAuthenticator( $wpApiUrl, [ 'verify' => false ] );

    //authenticate
    if( $authClient->login( 'josh', '12345' ) ){
        $api = \calderawp\WPUser\Factory::jwtAuthenitcated( $wpApiUrl, $authClient->getUser(),
            [
                //args to pass to constructor of GuzzleHttp\Client
             ]
        );
        $me = $api->me();
    }

```
