Improvements to Authentication in Laravel 5.3
In my book Joseph Silber is one of the unsung heroes of the Laravel ecosystem. Whenever I open up internals on Larachat or Github he's giving friendly and thoughtful advice. I was happy to learn that Joseph started a blog.
In the first post he goes over all the improvements made to authentication in Laravel 5.3.
Authentication has gotten some nice improvements in 5.3, so let's examine it piece by piece.
- Introducing the authenticate method
- The exception handler's unauthenticated method
- The Authenticate middleware
- Authenticating against multiple guards
- Route model binding and global scopes
- Bonus: the request's expectsJson method
