How to consume an authenticated API with Axios

I’m trying to build an application using Vue and Laravel. I currently use passport authentication within Laravel for user authentication. However, when I try to make a post request from a vue component using axio, I get 401 unauthorized, even if I am currently logged in.

Here is some example code:

1. Get request from the vue component

    getEvents() {
      axios
        .get("/api/calendar")
        .then(resp => (this.events = resp.data.data))
        .catch(err => console.log(err.response.data));
    }

JavaScript
​x
 
    getEvents() {      axios        .get("/api/calendar")        .then(resp => (this.events = resp.data.data))        .catch(err => console.log(err.response.data));    }​

2. Laravel routes

Route::apiResource('/calendar', 'CalendarController')->middleware('auth:api');

JavaScript
 
Route::apiResource('/calendar', 'CalendarController')->middleware('auth:api');​

3. Calendar controller associated with the get request above

    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return IlluminateHttpResponse
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return CalendarResource::collection(Calendar::all());
    }

JavaScript
 
    /**     * Display a listing of the resource.     *     * @return IlluminateHttpResponse     */    public function index()    {        return CalendarResource::collection(Calendar::all());    }​

I’ve spent hours with this issue and everything I have found simply doesn’t work. So any help at all is extremely appeciated.

Answer

I made some changes to your project, here is the github repository https://github.com/AzafoCossa/ProFix, hope it works.

Open AuthServiceProvider.php file, add Passport::routes() to boot() function and open auth.php file, update ‘api’ guard from 'driver'=>'token' to 'driver'=>'passport' and finally open Kernel.php file, add this middleware:

'web' => [
   // Other middleware...
   LaravelPassportHttpMiddlewareCreateFreshApiToken::class,
],

JavaScript
 
'web' => [   // Other middleware...   LaravelPassportHttpMiddlewareCreateFreshApiToken::class,],​
