Call to a member function token() on null - php

Question

I'm doing authorization using laravel:sanctum for the API. But, when calling the logout() method, I get the following error: Call to a member function tokens() on null. Please help me get rid of this error
AuthController
public function auth(UserLoginRequest $request){
$user = User::query()->where('login', $request->get('login'))->first();
if (!$user || !Hash::check($request->get('password'), $user->password)) {
return response()->json(['message'=>'Попытка входа не удалась'], 400);
}
$token = $user->createToken('api_token')->plainTextToken;
$user->api_token = $token;
$user->save();
return response()->json(['message'=>$user->api_token], 200);
}
public function logout(Request $request) {
$request->user()->tokens()->delete();
return response()->json(['message' => 'Вы вышли из системы'], 200);
}
api.php
Route::middleware('auth:api')->get('/user', function (Request $request) {
return $request->user();
});
Route::middleware('auth:sanctum')->get('user', function (UserLoginRequest $request) {
return response()->json(['login' => $request->user()->login]);
});
Route::post('auth', [AuthController::class, 'auth']);
Route::post('authStore', [AuthController::class, 'store']);
Route::get('authLogout', [AuthController::class, 'logout'])->middleware('auth:sanctum');
Route::get('application/{id}', [ApplicationController::class, 'showById']);
Route::get('application', [ApplicationController::class, 'show']);
Route::post('applicationStore', [ApplicationController::class, 'store']);
Route::post('applicationDelete', [ApplicationController::class, 'delete']);
Route::post('userDelete/{user}', [UserController::class, 'delete']);
Route::post('userStore', [UserController::class, 'store']);
Route::post('review', [ReviewController::class, 'show']);
Route::post('reviewCreate', [ReviewController::class, 'create']);

Answer 1

solved this by adding my logout Route inside :-
Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth:sanctum']], function () {
// logout route api code here
}

Answer 2

Use auth('sanctum') instead auth() because of you used to sanctum auth
It should be:
auth('sanctum')->user()->tokens()->delete();

Answer 3

The code should be like following
public function logout(Request $request) {
if ($request->user()) {
$request->user()->tokens()->delete();
}
return response()->json(['message' => 'Вы вышли из системы'], 200);
}

Answer 4

use currentAccessToken() instead of tokens().
