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

In Laravel 7.2 if none of the above works use like this to retrive the user:

$credentials = request(['email', 'password']);

if (! $token = auth('api')->attempt($credentials)) {
        return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthorized'], 401);
}  
    
$user = auth('api')->user();
    
dd($user);
