Lumen HTTP Basic Authentication - php

Question

I am trying to use Laravel's HTTP Basic Authentication in a Lumen project.
On the routes.php file, I set the auth.basic middleware for the rout I need to authenticate:
$app->get('/test', ['middleware' => 'auth.basic', function() {
return "test stuff";
}]);
On bootstrap.php I have registered the middleware and the auth service provider:
$app->routeMiddleware([
'auth.basic' => Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
]);
[...]
$app->register(App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider::class);
But when I try to test the route by visiting http://lumen/test I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Auth\RequestGuard::basic() in C:\source\lumen\vendor\illuminate\auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth.php on line 38
Does anyone know how can I get the code of the guard for basic authentication?
Thanks.

Ran into a similar problem, wanted to use basic auth for users in the database, so ended up writing my own AuthServiceProvider and registered that in bootstrap/app.php
Here is the class, maybe it will help you in your case.
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class HttpBasicAuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Register any application services.
*
* #return void
*/
public function register()
{
//
}
/**
* Boot the authentication services for the application.
*
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
$this->app['auth']->viaRequest('api', function ($request) {
$email = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
$password = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'];
if ($email && $password) {
$user = User::whereEmail($email)->first();
if (Hash::check($password, $user->password)) {
return $user;
}
}
return null;
});
}
}
