jwt-auth after upgrade - get user from request token - php

Question

I upgraded:
"tymon/jwt-auth": "0.5.*",
from a very old version, and it seems like the API has changed. I managed to fix the login, using:
public function login(Request $request)
{
$credentials = $request->only(['username', 'password']);
$validator = Validator::make($credentials, [
'username' => 'required',
'password' => 'required',
]);
if($validator->fails()) {
throw new ValidationHttpException($validator->errors()->all());
}
if (!$token = auth()->attempt($credentials)) {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthorized'], 401);
}
$user = auth()->user();
$user->ip_address = $request->ip();
if ($request->device_token)
$user->device_token = $request->device_token;
$user->save();
$data['token'] = $token;
$data['email'] = $user->email;
return response()->json($data);
}
So my login work, but all API's that required the token - fail now.
Example of API that fail:
class UserController extends Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
// $this->middleware('auth:api', ['except' => ['login']]);
}
public function enterWorld(Request $request)
{
$token = $request->input('token');
$user = JWTAuth::toUser($token);
return $user;
}
Any idea how to convert the token from the request to the user with the new API?
I couldn't find any docs about it.
I tried:
return response()->json(auth()->user());
but in this API it return empty array. only in login it works.

Try the following:
$user = JWTAuth::setRequest($request)->user();
You may also explicitly set the guard when using the following syntax:
// pass the guard in to the auth() helper.
return response()->json(auth('jwt')->user());
