var lngval = 57.320;

console.log([latval, lngval]);

myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(latval, lngval);

createMap(myLatLng);

// Create Map
function createMap(myLatLng) {
    map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('mymap'), {
        center: myLatLng,
        zoom: 14
    });

            $.each(match, function (i, val) {

                var glatval = val.lat;
                var glngval = val.lng;

                var gname = val.address;
                var status = val.status;
                var shahrestan = val.shahrestan;
                var code = val.code_keshvari_shobe;

                if (status == 'آنلاين') {
                    gicn = 'storage/uploads/onlineFlag.png';
                }
                else if (status == 'آفلاين') {

                    gicn = 'storage/uploads/offlineFlag.png';

                } else {

                }

                marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                    position: {
                        lat: parseFloat(glatval), lng: parseFloat(glngval)
                    },
                    map: map,
                    icon: gicn,
                    title: gname
                });

                var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(), marker, i;

                google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function (marker, i) {
                    return function () {
                        infoWindow.setContent('<div class="font-iran scrollFix gmap-info">کد شعبه:' + code + '</div><div class="font-iran scrollFix gmap-info">' + shahrestan + '</div><div class="font-iran scrollFix gmap-info">' + shahr_rousta + '</div><div class="font-iran scrollFix gmap-info">' + gname + '</div>');
                        infoWindow.open(map, marker);
                    }
                })(marker, i));

What Laravel version are you using?

[hbsoftco]

laravel 5.3

[brunogaspar]

Is that route you posted using the web middleware?

[hbsoftco]

I did not use a middleware

This is my code in api.php

user(); })->middleware('auth:api'); Route::post('/showMarkers', 'MapLocationsController@showMarkers'); Route::post('/managersShowMarkers', 'ManagerController@managersShowMarkers');

[brunogaspar]

You'll need to use the web middleware as well i'm afraid, otherwise you'll not be able to get the logged in user i suppose since the API routes are stateless.

[hbsoftco]

Thanks for reply, but it's not working with web middleware :(

[brunogaspar]

Is it working as expected without being an Ajax request?

[hbsoftco]

Yes, it's working correctly

[brunogaspar]

So something on those routes are not correctly setup.

Therefore i believe it's not a Sentinel issue since it's working as expected in the rest of your application.

@hbsoftco Do you able to solve this problem ? I am facing same problem.

[hbsoftco]

@joginder89 I used another way.
First add user's info into a session after logging
Session::put('city_id', $currentUser->city_id);
then goto app/Http/Kernel.php and active session on rest api routes
'api' => [ \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class, \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class, 'throttle:60,1', 'bindings', ],
and use it in ajax call.
