Laravel Multi Auth using Guards with Example (Api)

• install laravel global
  composer global require laravel/installer

• creat project
  laravel new example-app


• run project
  cd example-app
php artisan serve

• Database Configuration
  DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=database_name
DB_USERNAME=database_username
DB_PASSWORD=database_password

• Create migration and model for admins
  To make the model and migration for admins table, run the following command:

php artisan make:model Admin -m

It will create migration and model both. From the database/migrations directory, open the admin's migrations file, and edit it as follows:
public function up()
{
Schema::create('admins', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->string('password');
$table->rememberToken();
$table->timestamps();
});
}

• migrate database
  php artisan migrate

• Open the Admin model in app/Models/Admin.php and add the following:
  use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class Admin extends Authenticatable
{
use Notifiable;
protected $guard = 'admin';
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password',
];
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
}

• Define the guards , open config/auth.php file
  before adding a new guard, first, we need to add the provider for that because all authentication drivers have a user provider. Let’s add a user provider for admin users where the driver is eloquent and the model is an Admin model class. After adding the provider array will look like below:
  'providers' => [
'users' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => App\Models\User::class,
],
'admins' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => App\Models\Admin::class,
]
]

now we will create a new guard for admin users, where the driver will be session and the provider is admins. after adding that guard array will look like below:
'guards' => [
'web' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'users',
],
'admin' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'admins',
],
'api' => [
'driver' => 'token',
'provider' => 'users',
'hash' => false,
]
]

• now got to (app\Providers\RouteServiceProvider.php)
  for make routes admin in file (admin.php)
  write :
  ` */
  public function boot(): void
  {
  $this->configureRateLimiting();

  $this->routes(function () {
      Route::middleware('api')
          ->prefix('api')
          ->group(base_path('routes/api.php'));
  
      Route::middleware('web')
          ->group(base_path('routes/web.php'));
  
              // Admin User
      Route::prefix('admin')->name('admin.')
      ->namespace($this->namespace)
      ->group(base_path('routes/admin.php'));
  
  });
  

  }
  `

• create file route in path (routes\admin.php)
  now write all routes for the

admin
in this file
