routes\api.php
<?php use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | API Routes |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Here is where you can register API routes for your application. These | routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which | is assigned the "api" middleware group. Enjoy building your API! | */ Route::post('register', 'Api\UserController@register');

Create Controller : php artisan make:controller LoginController
app\Http\Controllers\LoginController.php
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api; use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth; use App\Models\User; class LoginController extends Controller { // login api function public function login(Request $request) { $validator = Validator::make($request->all(),[ 'email' => 'required', 'password' => 'required' ]); if($validator->fails()) { return response()->json([ 'success' => false, 'message' => $validator->errors()->first() ]); } $user = User::where('email', $request->email)->first(); if(!$user) { return response()->json([ 'success' => false, 'message' => 'User not found.' ]); } if(Auth::attempt(['email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password])) { $user->token = $user->createToken('myApp')->plainTextToken; return response()->json([ 'success' => true, 'message' => 'User login successfully.', 'data' => $user ]); } } }
