You have completed Using Cookies and JWTs for Secure Authentication!
Now that we have a JWT created, we can pass that instead of our JSON encoded array. Although a JWT is JSON encoded, there is more to it, so we'll need to change our decode function.
Decode JWT
function decodeAuthCookie($prop = null)
{
try {
Firebase\JWT\JWT::$leeway=1;
$cookie = Firebase\JWT\JWT::decode(
request()->cookies->get('auth'),
getenv("SECRET_KEY"),
['HS256']
);
} catch (Exception $e) {
return false;
}
if ($prop === null) {
return $cookie;
}
if ($prop == 'auth_user_id') {
$prop = 'sub';
}
if (!isset($cookie->$prop)) {
return false;
}
return $cookie->$prop;
}
