I have build application with two parts: RESTful part for mobiles and web.
How can I use web/api guards at the same time? That I can register users with stadart web form, and accept request like as Restful?

Protect whatever routes are for your api with auth:api
middleware
Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth:api']], function(){
//protected routes for API
});
We must make sure that your users
table has an api_token
column:
php artisan make:migration alter_users_table_add_api_token_column
Then inside of the up
function:
Schema::table('users', function($table){
$table->string('api_token', 60)->unique(); //this must be 60 characters
});
Finally in your App\Http\Controllers\Auth\RegisterController
, modify the create file to add your api_token
protected function create(array $data)
{
return User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
'api_token' => str_random(60) //add this
]);
}
Now request to the auth:api
protected routes will need to contain an api_token
in their payload.
