In the tutorial on Scotch.io we created a new app called jot-bot to look at how to implement token-based authentication in AngularJS and Laravel by using jwt-auth and Satellizer together. On the Laravel side, jwt-auth let’s us generate JSON web tokens when the user inputs their credentials. The token can then be saved in local storage on the client-side with Satellizer where it is accessed and sent with each subsequent request to the API. We protected our API with the middleware that comes with jwt-auth so that the request gets denied if no token is present.
