Hi Everybody
Today we will learn how to itegrate Passport in laravel 5.3 and generate tokens password grant client. Laravel Passport provides a full OAuth2 server implementation for our Laravel application. APIS do not maintain session state between requests. So we need a tokens to Authenticate users.
Step 1 : Go to your project folder and Install Passport via the Composer package manager with following command.
composer require laravel/passport Step 2 : Register the Passport service provider in the providers array of yourconfig/app.php configuration file:
Laravel\Passport\PassportServiceProvider::class,php artisan migratephp artisan passport:installStep 5 : After running this command, add the Laravel\Passport\HasApiTokens trait to our App\User model. This trait will provide a few helper methods to our model which allow us to inspect the authenticated user's token and scopes:
<?php
namespace App;
use Laravel\Passport\HasApiTokens;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasApiTokens, Notifiable;
}<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Laravel\Passport\Passport;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\AuthServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;
class AuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* The policy mappings for the application.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $policies = [
'App\Model' => 'App\Policies\ModelPolicy',
];
/**
* Register any authentication / authorization services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function boot()
{
$this->registerPolicies();
Passport::routes();
}
}'guards' => [
'web' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'users',
],
'api' => [
'driver' => 'passport',
'provider' => 'users',
],
],Now go to your controller, where we want to generate access and refresh token. Inside the controller write the following script.
$http = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$oauth_client = DB::table('oauth_clients')->where('name', '=', 'Laravel Password Grant Client')
->where('password_client', '=', 1)->first();
$response = $http->post(url('/') . '/oauth/token', [
'form_params' => [
'grant_type' => 'password',
'client_id' => $oauth_client->id,
'client_secret' => $oauth_client->secret,
'username' => $request->email,
'password' => $request->password,
'scope' => '',
],
]);
$response_body = json_decode((string)$response->getBody(), true);
$access_token = $response_body['access_token'] ;
$refresh_token = $response_body['refresh_token'];
Now token is generated through password grant client.
Thanks
