JWT-Guard
---------

[](#jwt-guard)

JWT-Guard is a Laravel package that allow authentication and authorization as a guard driver using JWT tokens.

This package was forked from paulvl/jwt-guard.

**Quick Installation**
----------------------

[](#quick-installation)

Begin by installing this package through Composer.

You can run:

```
composer require yosmelvin/jwt-guard 0.*

```

Or edit your project's composer.json file to require yosmelvin/jwt-guard.

```
    "require": {
        "yosmelvin/jwt-guard": "0.*"
    }

```

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

```
composer update

```

Once the package's installation completes, the final step is to add the service provider. Open `config/app.php`, and add a new item to the providers array:

```
LucasRomano\JWTGuard\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class,

```

Finally publish package's configuration file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="LucasRomano\JWTGuard\Auth\AuthServiceProvider"

```

Then the file `config/jwt.php` will be created.

**JWT Guard**
-------------

[](#jwt-guard-1)

### **JWT driver setup!**

[](#jwt-driver-setup)

To start using JWT drive you need to create anew guard on `config/auth.php` file:

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

```

You can use any `Eloquent` provider that you want.

\###**Using JWT Guard**

\####**attempt**

```
	// Assuming you retrieve your credentials from request
	$credentials = [
		'email' => 'test@example.com',
		'password' => 'password'
	];
	//this will return a token array
	return Auth::guard('jwt')->attempt($credentials);

```

\####**blacklistToken**

```
	//this will blacklist current jwt-token and referenced refresh token if exists
	return Auth::guard('jwt')->blacklistToken();

```

\###**Using JWT Middleware**

if you need to validate JWT token request just add `LucasRomano\JWTGuard\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateJwt::class` to `routeMiddleware` on `Http/Kernel.php` file:

```
protected $routeMiddleware = [
        ...
        'auth-jwt' => \LucasRomano\JWTGuard\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateJwt::class,
        ...
    ];

```
