jwt-auth
JSON Web Token Authentication for Laravel & Lumen applications.
Overview
jwt-auth is a package designed to integrate JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication into Laravel and Lumen applications. It streamlines the process of securing your application's API endpoints by providing tools to generate, validate, and manage JWTs. This allows developers to implement stateless authentication, which is ideal for APIs and single-page applications.
The package offers detailed documentation for getting started, including installation instructions for both Laravel and Lumen, a quick start guide, and information on configuring the authentication guard. It handles common aspects of JWT authentication such as token parsing, validation, and exception handling, making it easier for developers to focus on their application's core logic while ensuring secure access.
