Using laravel 11 cookie to manually authenticate a request

Question

im trying to authenticate a request sent from the front end from another domain i tried to set the 'Cookie' header with the cookie value but it was blocked by the browser ,so i did the following

headers: {
                'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + sessionStorage.getItem('Cookie'),
            }

my plan now is to create a middleware and im familiar with the method

$request->bearerToken() 

but im not sure how to use the cookie i got to authenticate the request, im using laravel 11

Answer 1

since i already had the cookie, i modified the client code like this

$.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: _apiUrl,
            data: JSON.stringify(new _Model(packageName)),
            success: _receive,
            error: function(){setTimeout(function(){_send(packageName);}, 1000);},
            contentType: 'application/json',
            xhrFields: {
                withCredentials: true
            }
        });

the withCredentials flag the set the cookie header on the request allowing for laravel auth mechanism to validate this request
