A Laravel package for API Authentication based on Laravel Passport.

##### **Note**: This package requires Laravel Passport to be installed.

[](#note-this-package-requires--laravel-passport-to-be-installed)

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

[](#installation)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require soumen-dey/api-authenticator
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

#### Functionality

[](#functionality)

This package uses the default implementation for Auth that Laravel ships out of the box for validation and various other purposes.

So the validation, user table structure (except for the tokens part) should be similar for both web and api.

**Note:** This package uses the default `User` model in the `App\User`namespace. Feel free to modify the source code if you want to change this.

#### Adding the routes:

[](#adding-the-routes)

In your `routes/api.php` file, add the following:

```
Authenticator::routes();
```

This will add the required routes which are:

```
POST api/register
POST api/login
```

Note: Make sure that your request has these headers:

```
Content-Type: application/json
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
```

These are the API endpoints for authenticating users. The payload for these endpoints should be same as for the web auth, any extra payload depends on the application's logic.
