User Login

To login a user, you must first authenticate their credentials and then create a session for them so that they can access your APIs.

Call the createNewSession function: API Reference

SuperTokens\SuperTokens::createNewSession($response, $userId, $jwtPayload, $sessionData)

• Call this function after you have verified the user credentials.
• This will override any existing session.
• $jwtPayload should not contain any sensitive information.

Example

Route::post('/login', function () {
    // check for user credentials..
    $userId = "User1";
    $jwtPayload = ["name" => "spooky action at a distance"];
    $sessionData = ["awesomeThings" => ["programming", "javascript", "supertokens"]];

    try {
        $response = new \Illuminate\Http\Response();
        $session = SuperTokens\SuperTokens::createNewSession($response, $userId, $jwtPayload, $sessionData);
        return $response;
    } catch (\SuperTokens\Exceptions\SuperTokensGeneralException $err) {
        // handle exception
    }
});
