Can I use OAuth and Auth at the same time in Laravel?

Question

I am doing a project in which I have implemented private chat in Laravel. But for the third party, we use OAuth but i have already used auth() in my project. Can I use both? OAuth is getting token, then communicate with Vue.js. So, I don't want to remove auth() functions in my project. Can you please guide me what to do?

Real time chat system in laravel project. I'm using separate Vue.js with Laravel.

Yes. You can use both OAuth and default Laravel Auth at the same time. In default, Laravel provides routes as web.php and api.php.

web.php: This route uses default Laravel Auth functionality

api.php: Routes defined here uses OAuth functionality

Make sure you use default driver as web in config/auth.php

'defaults' => [
    'guard' => 'web',
    'passwords' => 'users',
],
