Laravel send data from controller to middleware - php

Question

I'm trying to pass token_id and user_id from controller to middleware.
I have some hard time with that.
This is the code that I'm trying to run.
class UserController extends Controller
{
protected $user_id;
protected $token_id;
public function __construct()
{
$user_id = $this->user_id;
$token_id = $this->token_id;
$together = $user_id . ':' . $token_id;
$this->middleware('check.auth:' . $together);
}
public function setLogin(Request $request)
{
$credentials = request(['email', 'password']);
if (!Auth::attempt($credentials)){
Secure::checkFailedAuth($request->email, $request->password);
return response()->json(['response' => false, 'status' => 400, 'message' => 'Provided details are not correct!'], 400);
}
$user = Auth::user();
$tokenResult = $user->createToken($user->name);
$token = $tokenResult->token;
$token->save();
$this->user_id = Auth::id();
$this->token_id = $tokenResult->token->token_id;
return response()->json(['result' => true, 'status' => 200, 'message' => 'Login Successful', 'data' => Auth::user(), 'token' => $tokenResult->accessToken ], 200);
}
When I run that I have no errors, but there is null on both user_id and token_id.
Any ideas why?
