Check that the request that you're sending has this header
{ Authorization: 'Bearer TOKEN' }
How to add this header in Axios:
axios.interceptors.request.use(request => {
if (store.getters.authToken) {
request.headers.common['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${store.getters.authToken}`
}
return request
})
Check that your .htaccess has the rule
RewriteRule ^ - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

I show my exception in json formate below way, you can try with this. to show exception in jwt you give this in catch JWTException
$credentials = $request->only('user_name', 'password');
try {
if (! $token = JWTAuth::attempt($credentials)) {
return response()->json([
'code' => 404,
'response' => 'error',
'errors' => ['massage' => 'invalid email/ or password.']
]);
}
} catch (JWTException $e) {
return response()->json([
'code' => 500,
'response' => 'error',
'errors' => ['massage' => 'failed to create token.']
]);
}
