Is it safe to store user access token in the database after creation
How do I retrieve access token after creation
I tried this
public function showprofile(Request $request)
{
$user = new UserResource(User::find($request->id));
$token = $user->token();
dd($token);
// return response ($user);
}
It returned null, I have checked oauth access token table, the user id I am sending is present.

1) yes, this is no problem. In fact, if you're using Laravel Passport, it will be done automatically. Passport's default migrations will make sure it's stored in a safe way. You can optionally publish the migrations yourself to adjust them if needed:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=passport-migrations
2) If you've added the HasApiTokens trait to your user model. You'll be able to access the token like this:
$user->token()
Or if you need all tokens $user->tokens(). More info can be found in the passport documentation.
Update
You're trying to access the token on the UserResource. This doesn't contain the token(). Try to access the token before creating the resource like this:
public function showprofile(Request $request)
{
$user = User::find($request->id);
$token = $user->token();
$user = new UserResource($user);
dd($token);
// return response ($user);
}
Also, I'd recommend you to use Route Model Binding. This will make your controller much cleaner since you don't need to look up the model yourself, Laravel will do this automatically for you.
