Nobelatunje/Jwt
===============

[](#nobelatunjejwt)

A simple JSON Web Token Authentication Library built on top of **[lcobucci/jwt](https://github.com/lcobucci/jwt)** for Laravel and Lumen.

It uses Asymmetric Algorithm using a **private key** for signature creation and a **public key** for verification. This means that it's fine to distribute your **public key**. However, the **private key** should **remain secret**.

Laravel Installation
--------------------

[](#laravel-installation)

Via composer

```
composer require nobelatunje/jwt

```

Install the package

```
php artisan jwt:install

```

Generate private and public keys

```
php artisan jwt:generate

```

Modify the jwtconfig.php in your config file as necessary and add your app's Policies if necessary.

Change the route driver in your auth.php config file to jwt.

```
'guards' => [
    'custom_guard' => [
        'driver' => 'jwt',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],
],

```

Auth Guard Usage
----------------

[](#auth-guard-usage)

### Routing

[](#routing)

```
Route::middleware('auth:custom_guard')->get('/user', function (Request $request) {
    return $request->user();
});

//if you set jwt as driver for your api guard
Route::middleware('auth:api')->get('/user', function (Request $request) {
    return $request->user();
});

```

### Login

[](#login)

```
// Generate a token for the user if the credentials are valid
$token = Auth::attempt($credentials);

```

### User

[](#user)

```
// Get the currently authenticated user
$user = Auth::user();

```
