Question

Laravel

Good afternoon, there is a client on vue and api on Larave

how to properly store a temporary random code in apiha, which is sent by SMS to the client's number through the Twillio service.

The scheme is as follows:
1. The client enters a phone number and presses send
2. A request is sent to api
3. A random number is generated and sent by SMS - and at this moment this number needs to be somehow saved for the current user
4. The client receives an SMS and he enters the code in the field and presses check
5. The request with the code goes to api and here you need to check it

Answer 1

Write to the cache, where in the key use the phone number (only numbers) and some kind of prefix.
The cache entry has a lifetime, you can just use it to limit the code entry time.
