Jwt-auth: Laravel 5.3 Policies not working with jwt

[akrami]

I'm trying to use policies for my API but it seems that policies do not run with JWT.
https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/authorization#creating-policies

any workaround or fix?

Register Middleware to the route

Route::group(['middleware' => 'jwt.auth'], function () {
// your api url
});

Then the login user may be get inside laravel policy.

make sure the user_id is integer number or cast it

"1" === 1 False

I had same issue but I had a general check to make (which would've been nice to use in before() ) but instead opted to use a middleware

[masoudline]

can i use laravel policy and jwtAuth inside project?

and how?

Wondering also for laravel 5.6 and jwt-auth 1.0.0-rc2
Can't get policies to work together with this.

I have the very same problem with laravel 5.7 and [email protected].
@tymondesigns do you know whats the issue with policies?

Ok I figured it out.

Adding a middleware like this to the App\Http\Kernel

    protected $routeMiddleware = [
        //...
        'jwt.auth'      => \Tymon\JWTAuth\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
    ];

and using in routes like this

    Route::group(['middleware' => ['jwt.auth']], function () {
       Route::post('/auth/logout', 'Api\AuthController@logout')->name('api.auth.logout');
       Route::post('/auth/refresh', 'Api\AuthController@refresh')->name('api.auth.refresh');
    });

solves the authentication problem :-)

For nice json error messages i customized render moethod of the App\Exceptions\Handler like this;

    public function render($request, Exception $exception)
    {
        if ($exception instanceof UnauthorizedHttpException) {
            return response()->json(['error' => $exception->getMessage()], $exception->getStatusCode());
        }

        return parent::render($request, $exception);
    }

It's just normal laravel middleware.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
