Jwt-auth: JWT Default Expiry and Increasing TTL

[Mr-Anonymous]

I have installed jwt-auth in my Laravel 5.1. Couple of questions if someone can help please:

1) What is the default expiry time for a new token that is generated after login? Is it 1 hours, 1/2 hour or 15 mins?

2) How do I change the expiry time for the token when they are generated? Say, if I want to increase the token validity to 24 hours from the time they login?

At the moment, the tokens are created like this:

public function login(Request $request)
        {
            $credentials = $request->only('username', 'password');

            try {
                // verify the credentials and create a token for the user
                if (! $token = JWTAuth::attempt($credentials)) {
                    return response()->json(['error' => 'Invalid Login Credentials'], 401);
                }
            } catch (JWTException $e) {
                // something went wrong
                return response()->json(['error' => 'Could Not Create Token'], 500);
            }

            // if no errors are encountered we can return a JWT
            return response()->json(compact('token'));
        }

The default is 60 minutes and it should be in your config/jwt.php file under the ttl option. 1440 minutes is one day so if you change it to that, users will have a valid token for up to a day.
