L8 - Sanctum - Add my own token with migration

I’m using Laravel 8 with Sanctum.

Is there a way to create a migration, or what is the best practice, to add some default token every time I redeploy my project?

Thank you.

Solution

  • You can use User factory for this:

    public function configure()
{
    return $this->afterCreating(function (User $user) {
        //You need to use some condition in user to determine, make token or not 
        if($user->isAdmin){
            $user->tokens()->create([
                'name' => 'default_token',
                'token' => 'default_token_value',
                'abilities' => '*',
            ]);
        }
    });
}

    If user is admin - after creating - factory make default token for them.

    Than, you can use factory in your seeder/tests/etc.
