Laravel JWT Guard

Installation

 composer require "maslennikov-yv/jwt-guard"

Preparation

Place the following code in the boot() method of AuthServiceProvider

Auth::extend('jwt', function ($app, $name, array $config) use ($public_key) {
    return new JwtGuard($provider, $request, function ($token) use ($public_key) {
        try {
            $content = JWT::decode($token, new Key($public_key, 'RS256'));
            return property_exists($content, 'sub') ? $content->sub : null;
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            Log::debug($e->getMessage());
        }
        return null;
    });
});

This example uses the Firebase JWT library which requires installation:

composer require firebase/php-jwt

But you can use any other library that allows you to validate JWT and extract useful data from it

Configuration

Configure 'api' guard to use jwt as driver in config/auth.php file

'guards' => [
    'api' => [
        'driver' => 'jwt',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],
],

Testing

composer test
