Laravel 7 Custom Access Token API Authentication

Hello to all, welcome to therichpost.com. In this post, I will tell you, Laravel 7 Custom Access Token API Authentication.

Post Working:

In this post, I am creating custom access token during auth login and auth registration. I am doing this in Laravel 7.

Here is the working image from Passport:

1. Here is the link from where you can get the laravel 7 setup and Laravel 7 auth:
   Laravel 7 setup and Laravel 7 Auth:

2. We need to create our API’S Routes with below code in routes/api.php:

Route::post('login', 'API\AuthController@login');
Route::post('register', 'API\AuthController@register');

3. We need to create API Folder Into our app\Http\Controllers:

4. In app\Http\Controllers\API Folder, we need to create new file named AuthController.php file and add below code into this file:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\API;
use Illuminate\Http\Request; 
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; 
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth; 
use App\User; 
use Validator;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
class AuthController extends Controller 
{
  /** 
   * Login API 
   * 
   * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response 
   */ 
   private $apiToken;
   public function __construct()
    {
    $this->apiToken = uniqid(base64_encode(Str::random(40)));
    }
  public function login(Request $request){ 
    if(Auth::attempt(['email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password])){ 
      $user = Auth::user(); 
     
    $success['token'] = $this->apiToken;
    $success['name'] =  $user->name;
      return response()->json([
        'status' => 'success',
        'data' => $success
      ]); 
    } else { 
      return response()->json([
        'status' => 'error',
        'data' => 'Unauthorized Access'
      ]); 
    } 
  }
    
  /** 
   * Register API 
   * 
   * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response 
   */ 
  public function register(Request $request) 
  { 
    $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [ 
      'name' => 'required', 
      'email' => 'required|email', 
      'password' => 'required', 
      'c_password' => 'required|same:password', 
    ]);
    if ($validator->fails()) { 
      return response()->json(['error'=>$validator->errors()]);
    }
    $postArray = $request->all(); 
    $postArray['password'] = bcrypt($postArray['password']); 
    $user = User::create($postArray); 
    
    $success['token'] = $this->apiToken;	
    $success['name'] =  $user->name;
    return response()->json([
      'status' => 'success',
      'data' => $success,
    ]); 
  }
}
