Laravel jwt-auth I Dont Use a Standard Laravel User Table - php

Question

Laravel has no user standard User model and users table. The programmer before me planned this way.I want to add jwt to distribute api to the project.
Table structure in which users are kept is as follows (table name client_users)
#property int $id
#property int|null $client_id
#property string|null $client_name
#property string|null $client_pass
#property string|null $client_phone
#property string|null $client_mail
#property string|null $api_token
#property string|null $remember_token
#property string|null $visible
#property string|null $deleted_at
First of all, the file used instead of the User model is as follows.
The model file is as follows ClientUser.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Tymon\JWTAuth\Contracts\JWTSubject;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
// use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
// class User extends Authenticatable implements JWTSubject
class ClientUser extends Model implements JWTSubject
{
protected $connection = 'remoteMysql';
protected $table = "client_users";
protected $guarded = [];
}
The config auth file is as follows. DIR config/auth.php
<?php
return [
'defaults' => [
'guard' => 'web',
'passwords' => 'users',
],
'guards' => [
'api' => [
'driver' => 'jwt',
'provider' => 'users',
],
],
'providers' => [
'users' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => \App\ClientUser::class,
],
],
'passwords' => [
'users' => [
'provider' => 'users',
'table' => 'password_resets',
'expire' => 60,
],
],
];
What is different in the controller part is that we query with the customer phone and password instead of the standard email password
The Api/AuthController.php file is as follows
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
class AuthController extends Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth:api', ['except' => ['login']]);
}
/**
* Get a JWT via given credentials.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
public function login()
{
$credentials = request(['client_phone', 'client_pass']);
if (! $token = auth()->attempt($credentials)) {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthorized'], 401);
}
return $this->respondWithToken($token);
}
/**
* Get the authenticated User.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
public function me()
{
return response()->json(auth()->user());
}
/**
* Log the user out (Invalidate the token).
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
public function logout()
{
auth()->logout();
return response()->json(['message' => 'Successfully logged out']);
}
/**
* Refresh a token.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
public function refresh()
{
return $this->respondWithToken(auth()->refresh());
}
/**
* Get the token array structure.
*
* #param string $token
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
protected function respondWithToken($token)
{
return response()->json([
'access_token' => $token,
'token_type' => 'bearer',
'expires_in' => auth()->factory()->getTTL() * 60
]);
}
}
Thank you for your advice and help. Best regards.

Your code can't work because when you call auth(), it uses the default authentication guard, which is web in your case but this one does not exist. You need to replace it by api. Therefore, calling auth() will be exactly the same than auth('api')
