Laravel sanctum check if user is authenticated-CodePudding

How to check if the user is authenticated when using Laravel sanctum?

Example :

Controller :

public function testAuth(Request $request)
{ 
     if ($request->user()) {
            return "auth";
      } else {
            return "guest";
      }
}

api.php

Route::get('testauth', [MyTestController::class, 'testAuth']);

this route always returns guest even if I pass token in headers.

when I add sanctum middleware, route return auth

api.php

Route::get('testauth', [MyTestController::class, 'testAuth'])->middleware('auth:sanctum');

but I don't want that , I want to check if the user is authenticated in the controller without using middleware

Try this following code will help you.....You can use user('sanctum') instead of user()

public function testAuth(Request $request)
{ 
     if ($request->user('sanctum')) {
            return "auth";
      } else {
            return "guest";
      }
}

CodePudding user response：

if (auth('sanctum')->check()){
   return "auth";
}else{
   return "guest";
}
