Laravel Sanctum custom token resolver
·1 min
By default, Laravel Sanctum uses a bearer token to resolve authenticated users.
But there is a way to modify this behavior by providing a custom callback for sanctum.
Here is an example of how it can be retrieved from a query string named api_key with a fallback to a bearer token.
Place this code to AuthServiceProvider::boot method.
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\AuthServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Laravel\Sanctum\Sanctum;
class AuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function boot()
{
// ...
Sanctum::getAccessTokenFromRequestUsing(function (Request $request) {
return $request->get('api_key', $request->bearerToken());
});
}
}
