Basically this is a starter kit for you to integrate Lumen with JWT Authentication. If you want to Lumen + Dingo + JWT for your current application, please check here.

• Lumen 5.4.
• JWT Auth for Lumen Application. ^[1]
• Dingo to easily and quickly build your own API. ^[1]
• Lumen Generator to make development even easier and faster.
• CORS and Preflight Request support.

[1] Added via this package.

• Clone this repo or download it's release archive and extract it somewhere
• You may delete .git folder if you get this code via git clone
• Run composer install
• Run php artisan jwt:generate
• Configure your .env file for authenticating via database
• Set the API_PREFIX parameter in your .env file (usually api).
• Run php artisan migrate --seed

• Run a PHP built in server from your root project:

php -S localhost:8000 -t public/

Or via artisan command:

php artisan serve

To authenticate a user, make a POST request to /api/auth/login with parameter as mentioned below:

email: johndoe@example.com
password: johndoe

Request:

curl -X POST -F "email=johndoe@example.com" -F "password=johndoe" "http://localhost:8000/api/auth/login"

Response:

{
  "success": {
    "message": "token_generated",
    "token": "a_long_token_appears_here"
  }
}

• With token provided by above request, you can check authenticated user by sending a GET request to: /api/auth/user.

Request:

curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer a_long_token_appears_here" "http://localhost:8000/api/auth/user"

Response:

{
  "success": {
    "user": {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "John Doe",
      "email": "johndoe@example.com",
      "created_at": null,
      "updated_at": null
    }
  }
}

• To refresh your token, simply send a PATCH request to /api/auth/refresh.
• Last but not least, you can also invalidate token by sending a DELETE request to /api/auth/invalidate.
• To list all registered routes inside your application, you may execute php artisan route:list

⇒  php artisan route:list
