To verify a token with Laravel Passport, you can use the Auth::user() method which will return the currently authenticated user. Here is an example of how to verify a token with Laravel Passport:

1. Ensure you have installed Laravel Passport by running php artisan passport:install.
2. Create a route in your routes/api.php file to verify the token. For example:

1
2
3

Route::middleware('auth:api')->get('/user', function() {
    return Auth::user();
});

1. Make a request to the above route with the Authorization header containing the token. For example, using Postman:

• Set the request type to GET.
• Set the URL to http://your-app-url/api/user.
• Add a header with key Authorization and value Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE.

1. If the token is valid, the route will return the authenticated user in JSON format.

By following the above steps, you can verify a token with Laravel Passport and retrieve the authenticated user.
