Cannot create access token with Laravel passport?-CodePudding

I tried implementing Passport to my project and upon Login attempt, I cannot return the access token. This is my User model

use Laravel\Passport\HasApiTokens;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasFactory, Notifiable, HasApiTokens;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array<int, string>
     */

And this is the Login controller, the login works, if i try to just return the authenticated user it works, but createToken() method is not recognized for some reason

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api\V1;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;

class LoginController extends Controller
{
    public function Login(Request $request){
        $login = $request->validate([
            'email' => 'required|string|max:255',
            'password' => 'required|string|max:255',
        ]);
        //Check wether the login credentials are valid
        if( !Auth::attempt($login)){
            return response(['message' => 'Invalid login credentials'], 401);
        }
        else{
            return(Auth::user()->createToken());
        }
    }
}

And this is the config file for the auth.php, I added the api driver and provider as the documentation suggested

 'guards' => [
        'web' => [
            'driver' => 'session',
            'provider' => 'users',
        ],
     
        'api' => [
            'driver' => 'passport',
            'provider' => 'users',
        ],
    ],

CodePudding user response：

The reason behind this is that you cannot pass any value to the access token. Do the below code :

$token = auth()->user()->createToken('API Token')->accessToken;

return response(['user' => auth()->user(), 'token' => $token]);

CodePudding user response：

Try out this.

public function Login(Request $request){
       $login = $request->validate([
            'email' => 'required|string|max:255',
            'password' => 'required|string|max:255',
        ]);
        //Check wether the login credentials are valid
        if( !Auth::attempt($login)){
            return response(['message' => 'Invalid login credentials'], 401);
        }
        else{
          $token = Auth::user()->createToken('TutsForWeb')->accessToken
            return $token;
        }
    }
