To generate a JWT refresh token in Laravel, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a new refresh token column in your users table. You can do this using a migration:

1

php artisan make:migration add_refresh_token_to_users_table

In the migration file, add the following code:

1
2
3

Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->string('refresh_token')->nullable();
});

Then run the migration:

1

php artisan migrate

1. Install the tymon/jwt-auth package and configure it in your Laravel project. You can follow the installation instructions on the package repository: https://github.com/tymondesigns/jwt-auth
2. Generate a JWT access token as usual when a user logs in, using the JWTAuth::attempt() method. Here is an example:

1

$token = JWTAuth::attempt($credentials);

1. Generate a refresh token and store it in the refresh_token column of the user:

1
2
3
4

$user = Auth::user();
$refreshToken = Str::random(60);
$user->refresh_token = $refreshToken;
$user->save();

1. Return the refresh token along with the access token in the response to the client:

1
2
3
4

return response()->json([
    'access_token' => $token,
    'refresh_token' => $refreshToken
]);

Now you have successfully generated a JWT refresh token in Laravel. You can use this refresh token to generate a new access token when the current one expires.
