Laravel passport does not return accessToken as JWT

  • 772

I am creating an access token for my user in passport and instead of getting a stringfrom JWTI am getting the token data in format json. Why is this happening?

Token creation:

if(Auth::attempt($credentials)){
    $user = Auth::user();
    $token = $user->createToken('My Token', ['read-phrase'])->accessToken;
    return response()->json(["token" => $token]);
}

The variable $tokenremains as an instance ofLaravel\Sanctum\PersonalAccessToken

What I get as a response from the call tocreateToken()

The documentation of passport indicates that to obtain the token it is necessary to call subsequently ->accessToken;, which returns me:

    "abilities" => "json"
    "last_used_at" => "datetime"

I have tried with a totally clean installation of laravel and passport and it has delivered the JWT without major problems.

The output of the call to $user->createToken('My Token')->accessToken;is a JWT like the following:

The difference between the clean install and my "app" is as follows:

1.- I am using UUID for users and passport

2.- I installed Jetstream

3.- I installed LightHouse (Graphql)

How can I give the corresponding format to my token to later use them in the headers with Bearer?

laravel

  1. Best Answer

    I noticed that the import of traitthe in the class Userwas incorrect in relation to what the passport documentation mentioned. It is possible that this import was done by the jetstream installation ( but I'm not sure if that was the case, maybe it was a bad move by the code editor ).

    I currently had

    use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;

    After changing the import to what was mentioned in passport, everything worked as expected again.

    use Laravel\Passport\HasApiTokens;

  2. The method createToken()in Passport returns an instance of PersonalAccessTokenResultwhich in turn implements Arrayableand Jsonable, so you can do the following:

    $user->createToken('My Token', ['read-phrase'])->toArray();

$user->createToken('My Token', ['read-phrase'])->toJson();

    Depending on your needs.

  3. I show you an example that comes in the documentation:

    $token = $user->createToken('token-name');
return $token->plainTextToken;

    Likewise, adapted to the flow of your code, it would look like this:

    if( Auth::attempt($credentials) ){
    $user = Auth::user();
    $token = $user->createToken('My Token', ['read-phrase']);
    return response()->json(["token" => $token->plainTextToken]);
}

    By the way, the object returned by the function createTokenmust be an instance of Laravel\Sanctum\NewAccessToken, I recommend that you check your configuration.
