Authentication with JWT Laravel 5 without password

Question

I\'m trying to learn Laravel and my goal is to be able to build a RESTful API (no use of views or blade, only JSON results. Later, an AngularJS web app and a Cordova hybrid mobi

Answer 1

try with this:

$user=User::where('email','=','user2@gmail.com')->first();

if (!$userToken=JWTAuth::fromUser($user)) {
            return response()->json(['error' => 'invalid_credentials'], 401);
        }

return response()->json(compact('userToken'));

it works for me, hope can help
