README

Use a WordPress site as the authentication provider for a Laravel app.

Also can act as a WordPress REST API client.

Goals and Status

Authenticate as a WordPress user from Laravel - done.
Provide an API client for querying the WordPress REST API from Laravel - done.
Provide a WordPress based middleware. - Next step

Usage

Setting Up WordPress

This library could use other authentication systems but only JWT is implimented.

Have WordPress 4.7 or later
Install JWT Authentication for the WP REST API
Set the right constants as describe in the plugin's readme.
Activate plugin

Add WordPress Login To Your App

Config
- Publish config and set url for WordPress site or use WPUSERWPURL in your .env
- URL must include /wp-json/ (or whatever) you use WITH trailing slash.
Add a login route, for example

Route::post('/wp-login', function( \calderawp\WPUser\JWTAuthenticator $authenticator, \Illuminate\Http\Request $request ){
	if( $request->has( 'username' ) && $request->has( 'password' ) ){
		if( $authenticator->login( $request->input( 'username'), $request->input( 'password' ) ) ){
			$user = \calderawp\WPUser\Model\Model::fromAuth( $authenticator );
		}

		//return an error;
	}
});

NOTES:

This uses a User Model from the package. No migration is provided to save.
You could save the WP User in database, with token.

Example To Authenticate User

    //SUPER IMPORTANT to use a trialing slash after wp-json
    $wpApiUrl = 'https://roysivan.com/wp-json/';
    $authClient = \calderawp\WPUser\Factory::jwtAuthenticator( $wpApiUrl, [ 
        //args to pass to constructor of GuzzleHttp\Client
     ] );
     
    //BTW- in local testing, might want to set verify false
    // $authClient = \calderawp\WPUser\Factory::jwtAuthenticator( $wpApiUrl, [ 'verify' => false ] );


    //authenticate
    if( $authClient->login( 'josh', '12345' ) ){
        $api = \calderawp\WPUser\Factory::jwtAuthenitcated( $wpApiUrl, $authClient->getUser(), 
            [ 
                //args to pass to constructor of GuzzleHttp\Client
             ] 
        );
        $me = $api->me();
    }
