Quick Start

How do generate a custom token ?

use KolayIK\Auth\Facades\KolayAuth;

class AuthenticateController extends Controller
{
    public function authenticate(Request $request)
    {
        // your add custom login code
        $userId = "kolayik";

        return response()->json(KolayAuth::generate($userId));
    }
}

How do authenticate via token in custom middleware ?

    namespace App\Http\Middleware;
    use KolayIK\Auth\Facades\KolayAuth;

    class CustomAuth
    {
        public function handle($request, Closure $next)
        {   
            $token = KolayAuth::authenticate();

            if ($token->isExpired()) {
                throw new \Exception('Session expired!');
            }

            return $next($request);
        }
    }

Authentication

To make authenticated requests via http using the built in methods, you will need to set an authorization header as follows:

Authorization: Bearer {yourtoken}

Note to Apache users

Apache seems to discard the Authorization header if it is not a base64 encoded user/pass combo. So to fix this you can add the following to your apache config

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule .* - [e=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

Alternatively you can include the token via a query string

http://api.mysite.com/me?authorization_key={yourtoken}

To get the token from the request you can do:

$token = KolayAuth::getToken();

Middleware

You can use kolay.auth middleware:

Route::group(['prefix' => '/api/v1', 'middleware' => 'kolay.auth'], function () {
    //your code
});
