README

This package is meant to be used in an architecture where you have multiple Laravel applications working together, with one of them issuing JWTs with a secret generated through an asymmetric encryption algorithm (RS256 for now). This is mostly to aid with use Laravel Passport tokens in service-oriented architectures where only the Auth service might be able to access all auth data.

JWT Validate will check the integrity of an incoming authentication token using your primary installation's public key. It will also hydrate a user model and make it available through the regular Auth::user() using data encoded in your JWT.

Note that Passport Validate should not be used on a project that already uses Laravel Passport. This is meant exclusively for applications that may not have access to the OAuth private key, Passport database tables, or other required elements of Laravel Passport.

Installation

Install through Composer

composer require jobilla/laravel-jwt-validate

Add the auth config

To enable the guard, add the following to your config/auth.php

<?php

return [
    // ...

    'guards' => [
        // ...
        
        'jwt' => [
            'driver' => 'jwt-validate',
            'public_key_path' => storage_path('oauth-public.key'),
            'hydrator' => function (array $claims, \Illuminate\Http\Request $request) {
                return new App\User(['id' => $claims['sub']]);
            },
        ]
    ]
];

You may choose to use this as your default guard, and likely replace the default api guard with this one.
