About Laravel Sanctum

Laravel Sanctum provides a featherweight authentication system for SPAs (single page applications), mobile applications, and simple, token based APIs. Sanctum allows each user of your application to generate multiple API tokens for their account. These tokens may be granted abilities / scopes which specify which actions the tokens are allowed to perform.

Installation

You may install Laravel Sanctum via Composer:

composer require laravel/sanctum

Next, you should publish the Sanctum configuration and migration files using the vendor:publish Artisan command. The sanctum configuration file will be placed in your config directory:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravel\Sanctum\SanctumServiceProvider"

Finally, you should run your database migrations. Sanctum will create one database table in which to store API tokens:

php artisan migrate

Middleware

Next, if you plan to utilize Sanctum to authenticate an SPA, you should add Sanctum's middleware to your api middleware group within your app/Http/Kernel.php file:

use Laravel\Sanctum\Http\Middleware\EnsureFrontendRequestsAreStateful;

...

'api' => [
    EnsureFrontendRequestsAreStateful::class,
    'throttle:60,1',
    \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
],

...

Authenticating

To authenticate your SPA, your SPA's login page should first make a request to the /sanctum/csrf-cookie route to initialize CSRF protection for the application:

Once CSRF protection has been initialized, you should make a POST request to the typical Laravel /login route. This /login route may be provided by the laravel/ui authentication scaffolding package.

Laravel/UI

Laravel's laravel/ui package provides a quick way to scaffold all of the routes and views you need for authentication using a few simple commands:

composer require laravel/ui

Create a controller

It's necessary for use a route and make login

php artisan make:controller UserController

Create a route for Controller

this route is make in file routes/api.php

Route::post('/login', 'UserController@login');

Protecting Routes

this route has protected for middleware sanctum

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

now is necessary your create a user for testing the route

we go use the seeder for it

php artisan make:seeder UserSeeder

Now you may use the db:seed Artisan command to seed your database. By default, the db:seed command runs the DatabaseSeeder class, which may be used to call other seed classes. However, you may use the --class option to specify a specific seeder class to run individually:

php artisan db:seed --class=UserSeeder

in UserController implements the code below

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    public function login(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'email' => 'required|email',
            'password' => 'required'
        ]);

        $user = User::where('email', $request->email)->first();

        if (! $user || ! Hash::check($request->password, $user->password)) {
            throw ValidationException::withMessages([
                'email' => ['The provided credentials are incorrect.'],
            ]);
        }

        $token =  $user->createToken($user->id)->plainTextToken;

        return response()->json([
            'user' => $user->name,
            'email' => $user->email,
            'token' => $token
        ],200);
    }
}
