Laravel JWT Boilerplate
-----------------------

[](#laravel-jwt-boilerplate)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b2b6c15388319a5864d629cbfb4043aa73b06f143ceb96287ced39a40aa35e9a/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e636f6d2f47656f666653656c62792f6c61726176656c2d6a77742d626f696c6572706c6174652e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.com/GeoffSelby/laravel-jwt-boilerplate)

This boilerplate is meant to be used to rapidly build an API with Laravel using JWT authentication.

Features inlude:

- Full authentication suite with JWT-Auth - [tymondesigns/jwt-auth](https://github.com/tymondesigns/jwt-auth)
- CORS handling with Laravel-CORS - [barryvdh/laravel-cors](http://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-cors)
- Email verification handling done for you 🙌

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

First, run `composer create-project geoffselby/laravel-jwt-boilerplate`

Then, have a 🍺 and wait for composer to do it's thing.

Once you have installed the boilerplate with Composer, set up your database in `.env` and run the `php artisan migrate` command to migrate the database. The JWT secret is generated automatically when you install the boilerplate with Composer.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### API Development

[](#api-development)

Develop your API the same way you would normally develop a Laravel powered API with JWT authentication implemented out of the box.

### Frontend Implementation

[](#frontend-implementation)

This boilerplate is designed so that you can use whatever frontend implementation you choose *(i.e. Create React App or Vue CLI)* as long as you implement authentication correctly.

Create React App example: **Coming Soon**

Enabling CORS
-------------

[](#enabling-cors)

By default, CORS is enabled for all routes since it is assumed you are using a seperate front end.

Check the [Laravel-CORS](https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-cors) docs for more info.
