Laravel Passport: Create access token manually

Question

I'm trying to find a way to create an access token manually in Laravel 5.5 using Passport and can't seem to figure it out.

I have 2 applications, one that holds the frontend and one api. The user receives an invitation via mail, and when he accesses the link, i wish to create the auth token and send it back in the response.

Any ideas on how to do this ? Thanks.

Solved it myself. It seems that the HasApiTokens trait that you put on the users model has a method to create a token

$user->createToken($name, $scopes);
