Let's start implementing features into our Application:

  • Setting up API URL
  • Setting up custom middleware to check users' Auth status
  • Registration via API
  • Login via API

By the end, we should have a working Login/Registration system.

Setting Up API URL

First thing we need to do is add our API URL to our .env file:

.env.

# ...
 
API_URL=http://nativephp-events-app-api.test/api

Of course, we should never load the .env file in our code, so let's set up a config file for this:

config/services.php

    // ...
 
    'slack' => [
        'notifications' => [
            'bot_user_oauth_token' => env('SLACK_BOT_USER_OAUTH_TOKEN'),
            'channel' => env('SLACK_BOT_USER_DEFAULT_CHANNEL'),
        ],
    ],
 
    'api' => [
        'url' => env('API_URL'),
    ],
 
];

Now, we will be able to get our API URL by calling:

config('services.api.url')

Creating Custom Middleware

Now we have to think about our sessions. The typical auth middleware won't work here, as we are authenticated via token. So let's create a new one:

php artisan make:middleware ApiTokenExists

And inside it, we'll add:

  • A check to see if we have token set in our session
  • An API call to load the user Profile
