Sanctum

Step 1: setup database in .env file

DB_DATABASE=youtube
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD= redhat@123

Step 2:Install Laravel Sanctum.

composer require laravel/sanctum

Step 3:Publish the Sanctum configuration and migration files .

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravel\Sanctum\SanctumServiceProvider"

Step 4:Run your database migrations.

php artisan migrate

Step 5:Add the Sanctum's middleware.

../app/Http/Kernel.php

use Laravel\Sanctum\Http\Middleware\EnsureFrontendRequestsAreStateful;

...

    protected $middlewareGroups = [
        ...

        'api' => [
            EnsureFrontendRequestsAreStateful::class,
            'throttle:60,1',
            \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
        ],
    ];

    ...
],

Step 6:To use tokens for users.

`use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasApiTokens, Notifiable;
}`

Step 7:Let's create the seeder for the User model

php artisan make:seeder UsersTableSeeder

Step 8:Now let's insert as record

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
...
...
DB::table('users')->insert([
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'email' => 'john@doe.com',
    'password' => Hash::make('password')
]);

Step 9:To seed users table with user

php artisan db:seed --class=UsersTableSeeder

Step 10: create a controller nad /login route in the routes/api.php file:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
class UserController extends Controller
{
    // 

    function index(Request $request)
    {
        $user= User::where('email', $request->email)->first();
        // print_r($data);
            if (!$user || !Hash::check($request->password, $user->password)) {
                return response([
                    'message' => ['These credentials do not match our records.']
                ], 404);
            }
        
             $token = $user->createToken('my-app-token')->plainTextToken;
        
            $response = [
                'user' => $user,
                'token' => $token
            ];
        
             return response($response, 201);
    }
}

Step 11: Test with postman, Result will be below

{
    "user": {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "John Doe",
        "email": "john@doe.com",
        "email_verified_at": null,
        "created_at": null,
        "updated_at": null
    },
    "token": "AbQzDgXa..."
}

Step 11: Make Details API or any other with secure route

Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth:sanctum'], function(){
    //All secure URL's

    });


Route::post("login",[UserController::class,'index']);
