[](#tokenizer)

A very lightweight token system for micro-services

Installation Lumen
------------------

[](#installation-lumen)

### Service Provider

[](#service-provider)

Remove

```
$app->register(App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider::class);
```

Add

```
$app->register(Mathewberry\Tokenizer\TokenizerServiceProvider::class);
```

### Route Middleware

[](#route-middleware)

Remove

```
'auth' => App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
```

Add

```
'auth' => Mathewberry\Tokenizer\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
```

### Generate a new token

[](#generate-a-new-token)

`php artisan token:generate`

### Implement a token

[](#implement-a-token)

Copy your generated token into a new key in your `.env` called `API_TOKEN`

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

When ever your make a call just pass the header `api_token` and the value is the value of the token in your `.env`.

Make sure your route or controller is using the `auth` middleware.

### Example

[](#example)

```
class DomainController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware(['auth']);
    }

    public function index()
    {
        $domains = Domain::get();

        return response($domains, 200);
    }
}
```

It's that simple, your micro-service is now that little bit more secure.
