JSON Web Token Authentication for your OctoberCMS API integrated with RainLab.User
This plugin provides token based authentication to your application. Is based on the awesome package JSON Web Token Authentication for Laravel & Lumen by Sean Tymon.
RainLab.User plugin
After plugin installation you need to create {root}/config/auth.php file with the following content, otherwise you'll got an error:
<?php
return [
'driver' => 'database',
'table' => 'users',
];
The plugin provides 2 endpoints: /api/login and /api/signup.
/api/login
Expects 2 parameters to receive: email and password. Makes attempt to authenticate and returns token if succeeded. Also the basic user info is included in the response.
/api/signup
Expects 3 parameters to receive: email, password and password_confirmation. Tries to create a user and returns token if succeeded. The user info is included in the response.
/api/refresh
Expects 1 parameter: token. Tries to refresh the token and return the new token.
/api/invalidate
Expects 1 parameter: token. Tries to invalidate the given token - this can be used as an extra precaution to log the user out
Simply add ->middleware('jwt.auth') to the end of the route in the plugin's routes.php
eg:
Route::post('test', function (\Request $request) {
return response()->json(('The test was successful'));
})->middleware('jwt.auth');
Then when making the request set the header "Authorization" to "Bearer {yourToken}"
