Laravel JWT Auth get user on Login

Question

Is it possible with https://github.com/tymondesigns/jwt-auth to get the current user? Because right now I can only generate a token (when a user sign in).

Answer 1

try this (it works fine with laravel 5.6,5.7):

use Tymon\JWTAuth\Facades\JWTAuth;
use Tymon\JWTAuth\Exceptions\JWTException;

// code to generate token for user with email testuser@gmail.com
$user=User::where('email','=','testuser@gmail.com')->first();

if (!$userToken=JWTAuth::fromUser($user)) {
   return response()->json(['error' => 'invalid_credentials'], 401);
}

return response()->json(compact('userToken'));
