Answer 1

By using this code you can get a new token after login by using the regenerate() method and returning a new csrf_token() in the response.

Your Controller inside the function:

public function refreshToken(Request $request)
{
     session()->regenerate();
     return response()->json([
        "token"=>csrf_token()],
      200);

}

JavaScript:

$.ajax({
    url: "{{url('refresh-token')}}",
    type: 'get',
    dataType: 'json',
    success: function (result) {
        $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content', result.token);
        $.ajaxSetup({
            headers: {
                'X-CSRF-TOKEN': result.token
            }
        });
    },
    error: function (xhr, status, error) {
        console.log(xhr);
    }
});

Just add this to your script

<script type="text/javascript">
            $.ajaxSetup({
                headers: {
                    'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="_token"]').attr('content')
                }
            });
</script>

And make sure you have added token to your meta tag like below.

<meta name="_token" content="{!! csrf_token() !!}" />

I hope this will work for you.
