API SECURITY BY JAPSEYZ
=======================

[](#api-security-by-japseyz)

Install by running `composer require JapSeyz/ApiSecurity `and adding ` \JapSeyz\ApiSecurity\LaravelServiceProvider::class,` to config/app.php

Three Environment variables are included, one of them is optional

`JAPSEYZ_API_TOKEN`: which is the API Token used to secure the routes

`JAPSEYZ_APISECURITY_CHECK_AUTH`: Which skips authentication if the user is already authenticated. `JAPSEYZ_APISECURITY_DISABLE_IN_DEVELOPMENT` which skips authentication if the app is set to local environment

Add the "api.check" middleware to any routes that needs to be protected

Send along a header "X-server-token" with every request to the middleware; This headers value should equal the `JAPSEYZ_API_TOKEN` environment variable.

### Add the following route to your api.php if you cant access the one built into the package.

[](#add-the-following-route-to-your-apiphp-if-you-cant-access-the-one-built-into-the-package)

```
Route::get('/api/timestamp', function () {
  return response()->json([
      'timestamp' => time(),
  ]);
});
```
