•  Create a new Laravel project

     composer create-project laravel/laravel [my-project-name]

• Install JWT auth

        composer require tymon/jwt-auth

• Go to the app->Models->User.php and update that user model

        <?php

        namespace App;

        use Tymon\JWTAuth\Contracts\JWTSubject;

        use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

        use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

 

        class User extends Authenticatable implements JWTSubject

        {

            use Notifiable;

            // Rest omitted for brevity

            /**

             * Get the identifier that will be stored in the subject claim of the JWT.

             *

             * @return mixed

             */

            public function getJWTIdentifier()

            {

                return $this->getKey();

            }

            /**

             * Return a key value array, containing any custom claims to be added to the JWT.

             *

             * @return array

             */

            public function getJWTCustomClaims()

            {

                return [];

            }

        }
