Jwt-auth: Get current authenticated user

[seuaCoder]

I would like to know if there is a method to get the current authenticated user but return false if not.

I tried :

$user = JWTAuth::parseToken()->authenticate()

But this is returning a response :

{ "message": "The token could not be parsed from the request", "status_code": 500 }

I would like to return true if there is the token match an user and false in any case else.

Any help ?

Thank you.

How are you sending your token to the server? If, like me, you are putting the token in a cookie, you can't use JWTAuth::parseToken() as it will not find the token.

As mentioned in the docs here you can set the token manually via JWTAuth::setToken('foo.bar.baz');, and subsequently use JWTAuth::authenticate() to get the user instance.

You can try:

if ( \JWTAuth::getToken()) {
     $user = \JWTAuth::parseToken()->toUser();
}

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