Authorizing User Model

[thorny pasture]

I provided a Bearer token, but it is still Unauthenticated.

is there something wrong with the code?

thank you

how can i authenticate with a bearer token before a controller action is run?

By using auth middleware.

public function login(Request $request)
{
    $validated = $request->validate([
        'email' => ['required', 'email'],
        'password' => ['required', 'min:8']
    ]);
    if (Auth::attempt($validated)) {
        $user = Auth::user();
        $user->tokens()->delete();
        $token = $user->createToken($validated['email'])->plainTextToken;
        return ['token' => $token];
    }
}

what about that!?

how does it look/feel ?!

I don’t really understand what you’re showing me? Why are you showing me a login function with username and password if you actually want to authenticate using a bearer token? 🤷‍♂️

[thorny pasture]

maybe you don't understand, because you are a little dumb? login functions with username and password are closely working together with bearer tokens. 😉

That is wrong @thorny pasture and please watch your words

According to Laravel, auth bearer tokens are to be used to authenticate third party applications

Think you’re the dumb one. Have yourself a timeout if you’re going to be a tosser.
