you might want to also add

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

when you add respondWithToken to app/Http/Controllers/Controller.php (Lumin 6+)

This is key.

I was followed step by step your tutorial, writing the code by myself (i mean, without clone your github project) and without this line (thanks @cleathley ) an error appears.

I think you should edit your post and add that line after you explain this:
«Add a global respondWithToken method to Controller class»

Anyway, great tutorial. It help me a lot!!

I'm glad it helped 👍

I will update the post, so new readers don't run into this same error.
