Laravel JWT
===========

[](#laravel-jwt)

Laravel JWT is an open-source library for Laravel that adds JWT authentication to your project.
JWT is a token-based authentication method that is secure, lightweight, and easy to implement. The library is easy to use and can be configured in minutes. It provides a range of features for JWT authentication, including:

- Generating and validating JWT tokens
- Managing users and tokens
- Protecting routes and controllers

### Pre-installation (not mandatory)

[](#pre-installation-not-mandatory)

JWT uses a pair of public and private keys to sign and verify tokens. The public key is used to verify tokens on the client side, while the private key is used to sign tokens on the server side.

The library by default stores the public and private keys in a folder called **keys** in the root of your project. You can change the location of this folder by adding the following to your .env file:

```
JWT_KEYS_DIRECTORY_PATH=/path/to/jwt/keys/directory

```

### Library installation

[](#library-installation)

This command will install the library and all its dependencies.

### Migration publication

```
php artisan jwt:keys
```
