Tymon\JWTAuth::toUser error: A token is required - laravel

Question

I have a Larvel API that uses Tymon\JWTAuth to authenticate the user.
It is working fine.
For some reasons I have also a non-guarded route in web.php:
Route::get('myroute', 'MyController#mymethod');
The code of MyController#mymethod is the following:
$user = JWTAuth::toUser($request->input('token'));
// I tried also this:
// JWTAuth::setToken($request->input('token'));
// $user = JWTAuth::authenticate();
And I call the route using this url in the browser: /myroute?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGci....
The problem is that I have an exception in JWT.php:
Tymon \ JWTAuth \ Exceptions \ JWTException
A token is required
JWT.php
protected function requireToken()
{
if (! $this->token) {
throw new JWTException('A token is required');
}
}
How can I decode the token that is passed as URL parameter and not in the header of the request?

Answer 1

If you are using jwt-auth dev, the toUser method in old version will drop the error like above, try this:
// Get the currently authenticated user
$user = auth()->user();
If the user is not then authenticated, then null will be returned.

Answer 2

Instead of
$user = JWTAuth::toUser($request->input('token'));
Use
$user = $this->jwt->User();

Answer 3

I solved it using this code:
use Namshi\JOSE\SimpleJWS;
$secret = config('jwt.secret');
$jws = SimpleJWS::load($token);
if (!$jws->isValid($secret)) {
return response()->json([], 401); // unauthorized
}
$payload = $jws->getPayload();
$account = Account::find($payload["account"]["id"]);
However I would have preferred to use directly JWTAuth
