Outline
we try to use jwt(Json Web token) to make token based authentication system on Laravel. if we implement everything of jwt authentication system, it’s hard and takes long time. so we decided to use tymon/jwt-auth middleware to develop jwt authentication system.
in this blog, we’ll see how to install and configure tymon/jwt-auth. if you want to more detail about tymon/jwt-auth, see below links.

Repository
we’ve made the repository of jwt authentication system. click below link to see our repository.

Development Environment
in here, we’ll use Laravel development environment created by Laradock and Ansible. if you want to know our environment, see our previous blog.
Install Middleware
execute below composer command to install tymon/jwt-auth middleware for jwt authentication system.
# vagrant ssh
# sudo docker exec -it laradock_workspace_1 bash
composer require tymon/jwt-auth
Configure Provider
open config/app.php file in Laravel project folder and add Provider like below.
...
'providers' => [
...
Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider::class,
...
]
...
after configuration, execute below artisan command to apply the middleware.
# vagrant ssh
# sudo docker exec -it laradock_workspace_1 bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider"
if you get the error like below,
In ProviderRepository.php line 208:
Class 'Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider' not found
you should update tymon/jwt-auth version. modify composer.json file like below.
...
"require": {
...
"tymon/jwt-auth": "^1.0.0-rc.3"
...
},
...
after modifying the version, execute below composer command to update it.
composer update
and execute artisan command again to apply the middleware.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider"
Create Secret Key
we need to create secret key which tymon/jwt-auth middleware uses.
php artisan jwt:secret
check below exists at the bottom of .env file
JWT_SECRET=*******
Completed
we saw how to install and configure tymon/jwt-auth middleware for jwt(Json Web Token) based authentication system. next blog, we’ll introduce how to use jwt to develop authentication system.
