Installation

composer require konekt/bearer-auth
touch config/concord.php

Edit config/concord.php and add this content to it:

<?php

return [
    'modules' => [
        Konekt\BearerAuth\Providers\ModuleServiceProvider::class,
    ]
];

Test if all worked well by invoking the command:

php artisan concord:modules

Now you should see this:

+----+--------------------+--------+---------+--------------------+-------------------+
| #  | Name               | Kind   | Version | Id                 | Namespace         |
+----+--------------------+--------+---------+--------------------+-------------------+
| 1. | Bearer Auth Module | Module | 1.5.0   | konekt.bearer_auth | Konekt\BearerAuth |
+----+--------------------+--------+---------+--------------------+-------------------+

Add The Bearer Auth Middleware

To protect your API routes with the Bearer Authentication, you need to use the BearerTokenRequired middleware class in the given middleware group.

namespace App\Http;

class Kernel extends HttpKernel
{
    protected $middlewareGroups = [
        // ...
        'api' => [
            'throttle:60,1',
             \Konekt\BearerAuth\Http\Middleware\BearerTokenRequired::class
        ],
    ];
//...
}

You can use other names than api for the middleware group

Afterwards, add the middleware group to your routes:

Route::middleware(['api'])->group(function () {
    // Add your API endpoints here
});

If you're using the api middleware group and the default Laravel setup, then you can simply add your routes to the routes/api.php file since the middleware group is already assigned in the app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php file.

Add The Token Endpoints

If you use the default token routes provided by the package, add the api-auth middleware group to your application's HTTP Kernel:

namespace App\Http;

class Kernel extends HttpKernel
{
    protected $middlewareGroups = [
        // ...
        'api-auth' => [
            'throttle:9,1',
        ],
    ];
//...
}

Optional: Protect the token endpoints with more strict throttling, eg throttle:9,1

Add Exception Handling
