Video Description

In this video you'll learn how you can secure a Laravel API and authenticate users within it using JSON Web Tokens. Directly support these videos: https://www.patreon.com/aschmelyun - tymon/jwt-auth package: https://github.com/tymondesigns/jwt-auth - This will let you to separate your API and use it in external clients like native mobile apps or single-page web apps, where we need a user to be 'signed in' in order to view specific routes or pages. JWTs work like this: • Send user credentials to the API • Get back a unique token (JWT) representing the user's session • Use this token in requests where user authentication is required • Return details specific to the user who has provided their token Any questions?
