Laravel manual auth - Never works - php

Question

I am trying to make Auth for an API Rest manually, but the response for Auth::attempt is always false.
Route
Route::group(["prefix"=>"api"], function(){
Route::post('/login', [
'as' => 'checkLogin',
'uses' => 'LoginCtrl#checkLogin'
]);
});
Controller
class LoginCtrl extends Controller
{
public function checkLogin(Request $request){
$input = $request->all();
if(Auth::attempt(['username' => $input['user'], 'password' => $input['password']])){
$data = ["response"=>true,"access_token"=>"test"];
}else{
$data = ["response"=>false,"access_token"=>"none"];
}
return response()->json($data);
}
}
I have userd Hash::make to encrypt the password on the user creation.
My model is:
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
protected $table = "usuarios";
protected $username = 'username';
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'username', 'password'
];
protected $hidden = [
//'password', 'remember_token',
];
public $timestamps = false;
public function access_token(){
return $this->hasOne('App\AccessToken');
}
}
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT
$user = new User();
$user->username = "myFreshUsername";
$user->password = Hash::make('userPwd');
$user->save();
Thats my user creation. If this helps I didn't launch `php artisan make:auth', may this order be necessary?

Answer 1

of course it always false because you did not use correct way to get the json in your request using laravel
the correct way is
$input = $request->json()->all();
not
$input = $request->all();
so your controller would be like this
class LoginCtrl extends Controller
{
public function checkLogin(Request $request){
$input = $request->json()->all();
if(Auth::attempt(['username' => $input['user'], 'password' => $input['password']])){
$data = ["response"=>true,"access_token"=>"test"];
}else{
$data = ["response"=>false,"access_token"=>"none"];
}
return response()->json($data);
}
}
