Basic authentication in Lumen - authentication

Question

I have already written an API call for check authentication using Laravel. I need to move that controller to Lumen for use it as micro service.
This is my controller in Laravel.
public function byCredantial(Request $request)
{
$user = [
'email' => $request->input('email'),
'password' => $request->input('password')
];
if (Auth::attempt($user)) {
$response = $this->getSuccess(Auth::user()->id);
return response()->json($response, 200);
} else {
$response = $this->getError($user);
return response()->json($response, 401);
}
}
Lumen doc is not provide how to do such authentication. They has not function for check creadential is correct. How can i do this in Lumen. Is this possible?

Answer 1

You can do this in Lumen. Facades are disabled by default (if you want to enable it you can see the instructions in the documentation), but I would not recommend enabling the facades as the add additional overhead to your application. Instead, I would modify your function to call app('auth'). This will return the class that the Auth facade proxies without loading all the other facades.
public function byCredantial(Request $request)
{
$user = [
'email' => $request->input('email'),
'password' => $request->input('password')
];
$auth = app('auth');
if ($auth->attempt($user)) {
$response = $this->getSuccess($auth->user()->id);
return response()->json($response, 200);
} else {
$response = $this->getError($user);
return response()->json($response, 401);
}
}
Also, I would recommend reading the authentication documentation and placing the bulk of this code in the AuthServiceProvider.
