Laravel custom table with API token - laravel

Question

I am using a custom table customer for login and also Laravel Passport to generate token for my Ionic mobile app. I am stuck at the login code where I need to generate token after query from my custom table.
Below are the login code... I can successfully retrieve the id from database but how to link it with the token?
public function login(Request $request)
{
$phone = $request->input('phone');
$password = $request->input('password');
$user = $token = array();
try {
$rs_login = DB::select("select a.id from customer a where a.active > 0 and a.phone = ? and a.password = ?", [$phone, $password]);
$numrow_login = count($rs_login);
if ($numrow_login != 1) {
$this->error['form-message'] = 'ERR' . __LINE__ . ': Invalid phone number or password';
} else {
$user['id'] = $rs_login[0]->id;
}
} catch (\Illuminate\Database\QueryException $ex) {
$this->error['form-message'] = 'Login service is unavailable';
}
if ($this->error == '') {
$tokenResult = $user['id']->createToken('Personal Access Token'); // How to pass the $user['id'] to generate token?
$token = $tokenResult->token;
$token->save();
$token['access_token'] = $tokenResult->accessToken;
$token['token_type'] = 'Bearer';
$token['expires_at'] = Carbon::parse(
$tokenResult->token->expires_at
)->toDateTimeString();
}
if ($this->error == '') {
$response['status'] = 'success';
$response['message'] = 'Login successful';
$response['token'] = $token;
} else {
$response['status'] = 'error';
$response['error'] = $this->error;
$response['message'] = (isset($this->error['form-message'])) ? $this->error['form-message'] : 'Please check the form';
}
return response()->json($response);
}

Answer 1

You can just specify a custom table in the config/auth.php instead of rewriting the entire logic
'api' => [
'driver' => 'token',
'provider' => 'customer', // <--- Here
'hash' => false,
],
And create the provider to use the specific table from the database
'providers' => [
'users' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => App\User::class,
],
'customer' => [
'driver' => 'database',
'table' => 'customer',
],
],
And keep the default login behavior for passport
Hope this helps

// changes to be made in this file: config/auth.php
// Create a custom model to override the User model
'providers' => [
'users' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => App\User::class,
],
//custom provider
'customProvider' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => App\CustomModel::class, // put custom model here
],
],
// attach your custom provider within the api guard to use with api calls
'guards' => [
'web' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'users',
],
'api' => [
'driver' => 'passport',
'provider' => 'customProvider', // put custom provider here
],
],
// Use lik this in your api router
Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth:api'], function() {});
// I used it like this in LoginController
$user = CustomModel::where('email', $request -> email) -> first();
if(!Hash::check($request -> password, $user -> password)){
return response()->json(['message' => 'Authentication failed. Please check your
credentials and try again!'], 401);
}
Auth::login($user);
$accessToken = Auth::user() -> createToken('authToken') -> accessToken;
