Authentication using JWT in laravel-CodePudding

how to create a token in laravel that contains information about a user when he authenticates (login).

This is a login function in controller, when I decode the token, it doesn't contain information about user.!!

/**
 * Get a JWT token after successful login
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
 */
public function login(Request $request){
    $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
        'email' => 'required|email',
        'password' => 'required|string|min:5',
    ]);

    if ($validator->fails()) {
        return response()->json($validator->errors(), 422);
    }

    if (! $token = JWTAuth::attempt($validator->validated())) {
        return response()->json(['status' => 'failed', 'message' => 'Invalid email and password.', 'error' => 'Unauthorized'], 401);
    }

    return $this->createNewToken($token);
}

CodePudding user response：

In your User model there should be method "getJWTCustomClaims" where you can add all the custom data you wish to be saved in token, like user group, special permission...

See https://jwt-auth.readthedocs.io/en/develop/quick-start/

This is in one of my projects:

    /**
     * @return array<string,string|int>
     */
    public function getJWTCustomClaims(): array
    {
        return [
            'group' => data_get($this, 'group'),
            'tenant' => data_get($this->tenant, 'id'),
        ];
    }
