What is wrong with laravel passport?

Question

Laravel

Situation:
There is a way

Route::get('test', '[email protected]'); // api/test

So, it seems to work just fine. The problem arises when you need to check whether the user is authorized or not.
That is, if I now write in TestController'e Auth::user() - it will display null, although the token is passed and it is valid
But at the same time, if I do the following:

Route::get('test', '[email protected]')->middleware(['auth:api']);

Then, Auth::user() will display the user ..
But I need to get into the TestController both as a registered user and as an unregistered one (it depends on how the data will be displayed). But it turns out either so, or in any way
How to fix it?

===================================
And:

return $this->setData([
            'user' => Auth::user(), // null
            'token' => $request->bearerToken() // а тут выводит токен
]);

Those. the token explicitly gets to laravel, but it does not process it if there is no authorization check

Answer 1

In config/auth.php like this?

'defaults' => [
        'guard' => 'web',
        'passwords' => 'users',
    ],

If the route does not define a guard to use, then the default one is used.
There are many solutions...
Try auth()->guard('api')->user() for example.
