Hi! Does anyone now how the User Model ist connected to the Users table? Looked up in the Laravel Documentation but the suggested answer does not match the project. (video 3) That would be cool. Thanks

I'm at Lesson 16 with using laravel 7 and API resource.

return $this->morphToMany(Like::class, 'likeable');

doesnt work (got an error of likeable table not exist) so had to change

return $this->morphOne(Like::class, 'likeable');

instead. Hope this solution is ok

For video 19: Apparently Laravel 5.3 has the response() method inside FormRequest class.

For those who are using the latest versions of Laravel should override this method instead:

 1 /**
 2* Handle a failed validation attempt.
 3*
 4* @param  \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator  $validator
 5* @return void
 6*
 7* @throws \Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException
 8*/
 9protected function failedValidation(Validator $validator) : void
10{
11    if ($this->expectsJson()) {
12        throw new HttpResponseException(response()->json(
13            ['data' => $validator->errors()]
14        , 422));
15  }
16
17  throw (new ValidationException($validator))
18         ->errorBag($this->errorBag)
19         ->redirectTo($this->getRedirectUrl());
20}

This is working for me and i think is the correct approach.

Is it my idea or video 18 at the end is broken?

For people watching this course now, you can use the build in API resources (php artisan make:resource UserResource) instead of Fractal.

How can I get the password grant auth to work with "CreateFreshApiToken" as mentioned here https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/passport#consuming-your-api-with-javascript so I don't have to pass in the token with every request making the API vulnerable to attacks?

Lesson 18: There's only the first 7:55 :-( I tired in Firefox and Google Chrome.

This is great! Anyone knows what is the best practice to create an endpoint to return the current user details?

Hi, I got stuck in lesson #4. I created a fresh laravel 5.7 project and when I tried to login to the endpoint /oauth/token I am sending the same data as you:

1{
2    "grant_type": "password",
3    "client_id": "2",
4    "client_secret": "BsUKWr9kYFDX1PcbywK3uuCWjbQmnrCjx2uav0aT",
5    "username": "alex@codecourse.com",
6    "password": "ilovecats",
7    "scope": "*"
8}

But for some reason I am not getting the token as you showed

1{
2    "error": "invalid_credentials",
3    "message": "The user credentials were incorrect."
4}

Also, why do you send the email as username? I tried to change username for email as parameter but it seems passport specifically requires a username, and in this case it must be the email, which causes confusion because in the example you are using a username field but with a different purpose.

I hope you can help me with this error.

Hi! Anyone can explain me why in this tutorial are we using Laravel Passport rather than JWT tymondesigns?

Hi Alex, what is the best way to validate if the post belongs to the last topic in the url?

is it possible to do this using policy?

I tried something like this:

 1public function update(UpdatePostRequest $request, Topic $topic, Post $post)
 2{
 3    if ($topic->id !== $post->topic->id) {
 4        throw new \Exception("message", 1);
 5    }
 6
 7    $this->authorize('update', $post);
 8
 9    $post->body = $request->get('body', $post->body);
10    $post->save();
11
12    return fractal()
13        ->item($post)
14        ->parseIncludes(['user'])
15        ->transformWith(new PostTransformer)
16        ->toArray();
17}

Any suggestion?
