In Laravel 9, I am trying to hit the login API with the custom guard client, I am getting the following error. Please help.

BadMethodCallException: Method Laravel\Passport\Guards\TokenGuard::attempt does not exist.

config/Auth.php

    'guards' => [
        ...
        'client' => [
            'driver' => 'passport',
            'provider' => 'client',
        ],
    ],

    'providers' => [
        ...
        'client' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
            'model' => App\Models\Client::class,
        ],
    ],

Error line: if(!$authGuard->attempt($login)){

api/AuthController.php

public function login(Request $request){
        $login = $request->validate([
            'email' => 'required|string',
            'password' => 'required|string',
        ]);
        try {
            $authGuard = Auth::guard('client');
            if(!$authGuard->attempt($login)){
                $data = 'Invalid Login Credentials';
                $code = 401;
            } else {
                $user = $authGuard->user();
                $token = $user->createToken('user')->accessToken;
                $code = 200;
                $data = [
                    'user' => $user,
                    'token' => $token,
                ];
            }
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            $data = ['error' => $e->getMessage()];
        }
        return response()->json($data, $code);
    }

Models/Client.php

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Laravel\Passport\HasApiTokens;
class Client extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;

I think Auth::attempt() is not compatible with passport.

So, you can use Auth::check() method instead.

CodePudding user response：

I solved it by changing the driver from passport to session in config/auth.php

'clients' => [
    'driver' => 'session',
    'provider' => 'clients',
],

I am not sure this is the correct solution, but it works.

Please feel free to post the answer if there is any better solution

Thanks

CodePudding user response：

attempt() is only available to guards implementing the StatefulGuard interface.

So i agree with John that attempt is not compatible with Passport.

You can try this it should work :

auth()->guard('client')->setUser($login); or Auth::guard('client')->setUser($login);
