You have not told us how to deal with access token because when I entered data in 127.0.0.1:8000/api/register and in 127.0.0.1:8000/api/projects route it shows login route not found and after adding this header X-Requested-With I am getting unauthorized message and on register link it's showing response to unauthorized access ?
how to deal with this I have 0 rows in user db ? show I make fake data first to generate access token

You should have modified the api routes not the web routes. I made such mistake at the beginning that resulted none of the url existed.
When I carefully corrected two typos in my scripts following the tutorial it worked.

I agree, its confusing to say the least for beginner how to use postman in particular.

I am having the same problem none of this url can be found.
surely, I am modified routes on api.php .

Now I figured out your first post is creating mess because you do not use token in this route 127.0.0.1:8000/api/projects this is wrong implementation as it is not using using token we make with passport auth.

In header please add Key: Accept Value: application/json

If composer dumpautoload is not helping then check if you have proper namespace declaration in ProjectController.php and double check for typos in class name/route declaration.

How to logout?

COCL オスマン • Dec 5 '20

I got it

public function logout (Request $request) {
$accessToken = auth()->user()->token();
$token= $request->user()->tokens->find($accessToken);
$token->revoke();

    return response(['message' => 'You have been successfully logged out.'], 200);
}

public function logout (Request $request) {
        $accessToken = auth()->user()->token();
        $token = $request->user()->tokens->find($accessToken);
        $token->revoke();

        return response([
            'message' => 'You have been successfully logged out.',
        ], 200);
    }

This makes sense I however got this error, do not know why,
Call to a member function token() on null

I figured out what happened. Before you can log a user out via API, you will need to pass authentication first and then log your login off. Therefore the route logout has to be underneath the middleware auth. For convenience I grouped it with the /user route that is used in this tutorial.

Route::middleware('auth:api')->group(function (){
    Route::get('/user', function (Request $request) {
        return $request->user();
    });
    Route::post('logout', [
        AuthController::class, 'logout'
    ]);
});
