How To Build An Authentication System For A Customer In Laravel? (Package)

One of the best ways to build an authentication system for a customer in Laravel if you don't really need any Oauth functionality is to use Laravel Sanctum. 

Laravel sanctum authentication is an authentication package supported by Laravel. It provides two ways to build authentication.

– The first way is SPA Authentication for single-page applications, which can be both parts of your Laravel project and a completely separate project. 

For this feature, Sanctum does not use tokens of any kind. Instead, Sanctum uses Laravel's built-in cookie-based session authentication services. This approach to authentication provides the benefits of CSRF protection and session authentication and protects against leakage of the authentication credentials via XSS.

– The other way is issuing API Tokens, which is token-based authentication. 

Laravel documentation has full guidelines about both approaches. You can simply visit their web page and follow the instructions.

– Laravel also provides a simple and convenient way to authenticate with OAuth providers using Laravel Socialite. Socialite currently supports authentication via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, GitHub, GitLab, and BitBucket. 

You can follow the complete guideline in the official Laravel documentation.
