Features conductor-based API, token rotation, revocation strategies, seamless Sanctum integration, and optional recoverable legacy tokens for systems that must display keys after creation. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) > **Requires [PHP 8.4+](https://php.net/releases/)** and Laravel 11+ Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require cline/bearer ``` If you want Bearer to delegate runtime ability checks to Warden, install Warden in your application and switch the authorization driver: ``` composer require cline/warden ``` ``` // config/bearer.php 'authorization' => [ 'default' => env('BEARER_AUTHORIZATION_DRIVER', 'array'), ], ``` `array` remains the default provider. `warden` requires both the token's stored ability scope and the token owner's Warden permission to pass. Bearer also honors the configured morph key map when hydrating token ownership relations. If your `User`, `Organization`, or other owner model uses `ulid` or `uuid` as its primary key, configure the relevant entry in `morphKeyMap` or `enforceMorphKeyMap` and Bearer will resolve `owner`, `context`, and `boundary` correctly.
