Login using passport not return bearer token instead

I am facing a problem where when I tried to login in postman, the data return after login is not a bearer token but such like this

{
    "success": true,
    "message": "User login succesfully, Use token to authenticate.",
    "token": {
        "name": "passport_token",
        "abilities": [
            "*"
        ],
        "tokenable_id": 1,
        "tokenable_type": "App\\Models\\User",
        "updated_at": "2022-07-04T08:52:22.000000Z",
        "created_at": "2022-07-04T08:52:22.000000Z",
        "id": 6
    }
}

Below is the login API

public function login(Request $request)
{
    $input = $request->only(['email', 'password']);

    $validate_data = [
        'email' => 'required|email',
        'password' => 'required|min:8',
    ];

    $validator = Validator::make($input, $validate_data);

    if ($validator->fails()) {
        return response()->json([
            'success' => false,
            'message' => 'Please see errors parameter for all errors.',
            'errors' => $validator->errors()
        ]);
    }

    // authentication attempt
    if (auth()->attempt($input)) {
        $token = auth()->user()->createToken('passport_token')->accessToken;

        return response()->json([
            'success' => true,
            'message' => 'User login succesfully, Use token to authenticate.',
            'token' => $token
        ], 200);
    } else {
        return response()->json([
            'success' => false,
            'message' => 'User authentication failed.'
        ], 401);
    }
}

How to get the bearer token instead of the json like that since I also not found the way in documentation.

Try change accessToken to plainTextToken

-------
$token = auth()->user()->createToken('passport_token')->plainTextToken;

        return response()->json([
            'success' => true,
            'message' => 'User login succesfully, Use token to authenticate.',
            'token' => $token,
            'tokenType' => 'Bearer'
        ], 200);
---------

Hope this help you

That's weird behaviour of passport package, even though we follow the documentation. However if you want to generate the token then you can do it by following LOC.

$resultToken = $user->createToken($user->email);
