controller method return value without jwt token - laravel

Question

I have configured Jwt/tymon API authentication and use custom model, what I want is controller function should not be accessed without the token generated by JWT on login,
Route
Route::group([
'middleware' => 'api'
// 'prefix' => 'auth'
], function ($router) {
Route::post('auth/mpalogin', 'MpaLoginController#mpaLogin')->name('login');
Route::post('auth/mpalogout', 'MpaLoginController#logout');
Route::post('auth/mparefresh', 'MpaLoginController#refresh');
Route::post('auth/mpame', 'MpaLoginController#myinfo');
Route::post('auth/mpag', 'MpaLoginController#awain');
});
CONTROLLER -> The awain method at the last is accessed without sending the token, which I don't want, I want every method that I create in this controller should be accessed only by token
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Http\Requests;
use Config;
use JWTAuth;
use JWTAuthException;
use App\Mpa;
class MpaLoginController extends Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
Config::set('jwt.user', Mpa::class);
Config::set('auth.providers', ['users' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => Mpa::class,
]]);
$this->middleware('auth', ['except' => ['mpaLogin']]);
}
public function mpaLogin(Request $request){
$credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');
$token = null;
try {
if (!$token = auth()->attempt($credentials)) {
return response()->json([
'response' => 'error',
'message' => 'invalid_email_or_password',
]);
}
} catch (JWTAuthException $e) {
return response()->json([
'response' => 'error',
'message' => 'failed_to_create_token',
]);
}
return response()->json([
'response' => 'success',
'result' => [
'token' => $token,
'message' => 'I am front mpa',
],
]);
}
/**
* Get the authenticated User.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
public function myinfo()
{
return response()->json(auth()->user());
}
/**
* Log the user out (Invalidate the token).
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
public function logout()
{
auth()->logout();
return response()->json(['message' => 'Mpa Successfully logged out']);
}
/**
* Refresh a token.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
public function refresh()
{
return $this->respondWithToken(auth()->refresh());
}
/**
* Get the token array structure.
*
* #param string $token
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
protected function respondWithToken($token)
{
return response()->json([
'access_token' => $token,
'token_type' => 'bearer',
'expires_in' => auth()->factory()->getTTL() * 60
]);
}
public function awain()
{
return response()->json("xyz");
}
}

You can try this way.
Add this middleware file in your App\Http\Middleware folder.
Filename must be JWTMiddleware.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use App\Models\Authentication\Auth;
use Tymon\JWTAuth\Facades\JWTAuth;
use Tymon\JWTAuth\Exceptions\TokenExpiredException;
use Tymon\JWTAuth\Exceptions\TokenInvalidException;
use Tymon\JWTAuth\Exceptions\JWTException;
class JWTMiddleware
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if (is_null($request->bearerToken())) {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Token required.'], 401);
}
try {
// attempt to verify the credentials and create a token for the user
$token = JWTAuth::getToken();
$apy = JWTAuth::getPayload($token)->toArray();
} catch (TokenExpiredException $e) {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Session Expired.', 'status_code' => 401], 401);
} catch (TokenInvalidException $e) {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Token invalid.', 'status_code' => 401], 401);
} catch (JWTException $e) {
return response()->json(['token_absent' => $e->getMessage()], 401);
}
return $next($request);
}
}
register this middleware in $routeMiddleware of App\Http\kernel.php file.
protected $routeMiddleware = [
....
....
'jwt' => \App\Http\Middleware\JWTMiddleware::class,
];
Add this middleware to your Route group.
Route::group(['middleware' => [ 'jwt', 'jwt.auth']], function () {
....
....
});

Answer 2

Replace
$this->middleware('auth', ['except' => ['mpaLogin']]);
With this
$this->middleware('api', ['except' => ['mpaLogin']]);
Also remove the middleware from the route group. As you are adding the middleware code in the construct of the controller.
