api token

1. implement the registered() method in our RegisterController

protected function registered(Request $request, $user)
{
    $user->generateToken();

    return response()->json(['data' => $user->toArray()], 201);
}

2. User Generate Token

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    ...
    public function generateToken()
    {
        $this->api_token = str_random(60);
        $this->save();

        return $this->api_token;
    }
}

3. Just like the registration endpoint, we can edit the LoginController (in the Auth folder) to support our API authentication. The login method of the AuthenticatesUsers trait can be overridden to support our API:

public function login(Request $request)
{
    $this->validateLogin($request);

    if ($this->attemptLogin($request)) {
        $user = $this->guard()->user();
        $user->generateToken();

        return response()->json([
            'data' => $user->toArray(),
        ]);
    }

    return $this->sendFailedLoginResponse($request);
}

4. logout

public function logout(Request $request)
{
    $user = Auth::guard('api')->user();

    if ($user) {
        $user->api_token = null;
        $user->save();
    }

    return response()->json(['data' => 'User logged out.'], 200);
}
