Laravel 9 API authentication with passport tutorial. In this tutorial, I will show you how to build rest APIs with passport authentication in Laravel 9.
Also, I will show you how to install passport and configure passport in laravel 9 app.
First of all, you need to follow this step.
Laravel 9 API Authentication with Passport Tutorial
Step 1: Install laravel 9 App
Step 2: Database Configuration in .env file
Step 3: Install Passport Auth
Step 4: Passport Configuration
Step 5: Run Migration
Step 6: Create APIs Route
Step 7: Create Passport Auth Controller
Step 8: Create Eloquent API Resources
Step 9: Now Test Laravel REST API in Postman
Step 1: Install laravel 9 App
We need to run command to create Laravel 9 projects.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel-8-passport-apicd laravel-8-passport-apiStep 2 : Connecting App to Database
Next step, we will set the database credentials in the application. Let’s open your project .env file and set the database credentials here.
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravelAPI
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root@123Generate barcode in laravel: https://therealprogrammer.com/how-to-generate-barcode-in-laravel-8/
Step 3: Install Passport Auth
php artisan passport:installStep 4: Passport Configuration
In this step, I will configuration on three place model, service provider and auth config file. So we need change in following file.
In model we added HasApiTokens class of Passport,
In auth.php, we added api auth configuration.
app/Models/User.php
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Passport\HasApiTokens;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'email',
'password',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password',
'remember_token',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be cast to native types.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
}
config/auth.php
<?php return [ /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Authentication Defaults |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | This option controls the default authentication "guard" and password | reset options for your application. You may change these defaults | as required, but they're a perfect start for most applications. | */ 'defaults' => [ 'guard' => 'web', 'passwords' => 'users', ], /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Authentication Guards |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Next, you may define every authentication guard for your application. | Of course, a great default configuration has been defined for you | here which uses session storage and the Eloquent user provider. | | All authentication drivers have a user provider. This defines how the | users are actually retrieved out of your database or other storage | mechanisms used by this application to persist your user's data. | | Supported: "session", "token" | */ 'guards' => [ 'web' => [ 'driver' => 'session', 'provider' => 'users', ], 'api' => [ 'driver' => 'passport', 'provider' => 'users', ], ], /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | User Providers |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | All authentication drivers have a user provider. This defines how the | users are actually retrieved out of your database or other storage | mechanisms used by this application to persist your user's data. | | If you have multiple user tables or models you may configure multiple | sources which represent each model / table. These sources may then | be assigned to any extra authentication guards you have defined. | | Supported: "database", "eloquent" | */ 'providers' => [ 'users' => [ 'driver' => 'eloquent', 'model' => App\Models\User::class, ], // 'users' => [ // 'driver' => 'database', // 'table' => 'users', // ], ], /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Resetting Passwords |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | You may specify multiple password reset configurations if you have more | than one user table or model in the application and you want to have | separate password reset settings based on the specific user types. | | The expire time is the number of minutes that the reset token should be | considered valid. This security feature keeps tokens short-lived so | they have less time to be guessed. You may change this as needed. | */ 'passwords' => [ 'users' => [ 'provider' => 'users', 'table' => 'password_resets', 'expire' => 60, 'throttle' => 60, ], ], /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Password Confirmation Timeout |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Here you may define the amount of seconds before a password confirmation | times out and the user is prompted to re-enter their password via the | confirmation screen. By default, the timeout lasts for three hours. | */ 'password_timeout' => 10800, ];
Step 5: Run Migration
Here I will run create migration for blogs table using Laravel 9 php artisan command, so first fire bellow command:
php artisan make:migration create_blogs_tableAfter this command I will open file in following path database/migrations and I will put bellow code in your migration file for create blogs table.
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class CreateBlogsTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('blogs', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('title');
$table->text('description');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('blogs');
}
}
Now, Run migrate command.
php artisan migrateAdd in model
app/Models/Blog.php
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Blog extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'title', 'description'
];
}
Step 6: Create API Routes
In this step, I will create api routes. Laravel provide api.php file for write web services route. So, let’s add new route on that file.
routes/api.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\API\RegisterController;
use App\Http\Controllers\API\ProductController;
use App\Http\Controllers\API\BlogController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| API Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register API routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| is assigned the "api" middleware group. Enjoy building your API!
|
*/
Route::post('register', [RegisterController::class, 'register']);
Route::post('login', [RegisterController::class, 'login']);
Route::middleware('auth:api')->group( function () {
Route::resource('blogs', BlogController::class);
});Step 7: Create Passport Auth Controller
app/Http/Controllers/API/BaseController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\API;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller as Controller;
class BaseController extends Controller
{
/**
* success response method.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function sendResponse($result, $message)
{
$response = [
'success' => true,
'data' => $result,
'message' => $message,
];
return response()->json($response, 200);
}
/**
* return error response.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function sendError($error, $errorMessages = [], $code = 404)
{
$response = [
'success' => false,
'message' => $error,
];
if(!empty($errorMessages)){
$response['data'] = $errorMessages;
}
return response()->json($response, $code);
}
}
app/Http/Controllers/API/RegisterController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\API;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\API\BaseController as BaseController;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Validator;
class RegisterController extends BaseController
{
/**
* Register api
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function register(Request $request)
{
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'name' => 'required',
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required',
'confirm_password' => 'required|same:password',
]);
if($validator->fails()){
return $this->sendError('Validation Error.', $validator->errors());
}
$input = $request->all();
$input['password'] = bcrypt($input['password']);
$user = User::create($input);
$success['token'] = $user->createToken('MyApp')->accessToken;
$success['name'] = $user->name;
return $this->sendResponse($success, 'User register successfully.');
}
/**
* Login api
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function login(Request $request)
{
if(Auth::attempt(['email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password])){
$user = Auth::user();
$success['token'] = $user->createToken('My Token')-> accessToken;
$success['name'] = $user->name;
return $this->sendResponse($success, 'User login successfully.');
}
else{
return $this->sendError('Unauthorised.', ['error'=>'Unauthorised']);
}
}
}
app/Http/Controllers/API/BlogController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\API;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\API\BaseController as BaseController;
use App\Models\Blog;
use Validator;
use App\Http\Resources\Blog as BlogResource;
class BlogController extends BaseController
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index()
{
$Blogs = Blog::all();
return $this->sendResponse(BlogResource::collection($Blogs), 'Blogs retrieved successfully.');
}
/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(Request $request)
{
$input = $request->all();
$validator = Validator::make($input, [
'title' => 'required',
'description' => 'required'
]);
if($validator->fails()){
return $this->sendError('Validation Error.', $validator->errors());
}
$Blog = Blog::create($input);
return $this->sendResponse(new BlogResource($Blog), 'Blog created successfully.');
}
/**
* Display the specified resource.
*
* @param int $id
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function show($id)
{
$Blog = Blog::find($id);
if (is_null($Blog)) {
return $this->sendError('Blog not found.');
}
return $this->sendResponse(new BlogResource($Blog), 'Blog retrieved successfully.');
}
/**
* Update the specified resource in storage.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param int $id
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function update(Request $request, Blog $blog)
{
$input = $request->all();
$validator = Validator::make($input, [
'title' => 'required',
'description' => 'required'
]);
if($validator->fails()){
return $this->sendError('Validation Error.', $validator->errors());
}
$blog->title = $input['title'];
$blog->description = $input['description'];
$blog->save();
return $this->sendResponse(new BlogResource($blog), 'Blog updated successfully.');
}
/**
* Remove the specified resource from storage.
*
* @param int $id
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function destroy(Blog $blog)
{
$blog->delete();
return $this->sendResponse([], 'Blog deleted successfully.');
}
}
Step 8: Create Eloquent API Resources
php artisan make:resource Blog
app/Http/Resources/Blog.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Resources;
use Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\JsonResource;
class Blog extends JsonResource
{
/**
* Transform the resource into an array.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @return array
*/
public function toArray($request)
{
return [
'id' => $this->id,
'title' => $this->title,
'description' => $this->description,
'created_at' => $this->created_at->format('d/m/Y'),
'updated_at' => $this->updated_at->format('d/m/Y'),
];
}
}
Step 9: Now Test Laravel REST API in Postman
Don’t forget to implement following details.
'headers' => [
'Accept' => 'application/json',
'Authorization' => 'Bearer '.$accessToken,
]Now check Routes in below.
