Login to using another API in server in laravel - laravel

Question

Argument 1 passed to Illuminate\Auth\SessionGuard::login() must be an
Instance of Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable, instance of
Illuminate\Http\Request given

Answer 1

The question is not very descriptive. But from the title and the error, I am assuming you are trying to login to your application using another application login API.
For that, you need to build your own custom authentication system, middlewares for protecting authorized routes etc., as laravel default Auth will not work since it depends on Authenticatable contract which in return depends on user modal of the applicaiton.
If that another API, happened to be one of the Social media, in that case, you can use socialite driver.

Answer 2

public function userlogin(Request $request){
$validatedData = $request->validate([
'email' => 'required|max:255',
'pwd' => 'required|max:255|min:3',
]);
$data = [ "username"=>$request->email,
"password"=>$request->pwd,
];
$ch = curl_init("http://localhost/getuus/login");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type:application/json']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$result = collect(json_decode($result));
if ($result['status'] == 1) {
$Auth = new Auth; $Auth::login($request, true);
return redirect('home');
}
else{
return view('userlogin');
}
}
