Jwt-auth: no json output for manually generated token

[gin1314]

Hi, I've been trying to generate a token based on a given data, like the given code below

`class UserController extends Controller
{

/**
 * route: /api/users
 */
public function index()
{
    $payload = JWTFactory::sub(123)->aud('foo')->foo(['bar' => 'baz'])->make();

    $token = JWTAuth::encode($payload);

    return response()->json(compact('token'));
}`

however im getting an empty output like this:

{ "token": [] }

seems like its not allowing some characters on a json payload, any help would be apreciated thanks.

compact('payload') would generate a result in the form 'payload' => $payload; there would be no key named "token". Are you sure this is the code you're running?

Why have you come to this conclusion? Are there some characters that work and some that don't?

Thanks, yeah, sorry I mean compact ('token') , edited now, tried on var dumping the $token and im getting a random string as expected.

Got it, im plugging a Tymon\JWTAuth\Token object directly to an array value, it should be this
way:

$token = JWTAuth::encode($payload)->get();

to return a token as a string.

this should be specified in the wiki as well

particularly here -> Creating a Token based on anything you like

Yup same issue, my token was empty without get()
