Get current personal access token in Laravel sanctum from request-CodePudding

I'm using Laravel Sanctum v3 in my Laravel project. I have an API controller which has the auth:sanctum middleware attached to it. I'm using the API key/plain access token that I copied to authenticate myself, but I need to retrieve the corresponding token itself.

I thought I could just do this from within my controller:

return response()->json([
    'token' => Auth::user()->token
], 200);

This gives me:

The attribute [token] either does not exist or was not retrieved for model

I also tried doing:

PersonalAccessToken::find(Auth::id());

This gives me null

What am I missing?

CodePudding user response：

I guess what you are looking for is Auth::user()->tokens which will return array of tokens to you. See the documentation : https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/sanctum#issuing-api-tokens

CodePudding user response：

You may access all of the user's tokens using the tokens Eloquent relationship provided by the HasApiTokens trait:

auth::user()->tokens

will return a collection of tokens related to the auth user if u don't Create an access token without a specific ability (Abilities serve a similar purpose as OAuth's "scopes") u can just do like that

auth::user()->tokens->first() ;
