Video by Learn with Jon on YouTube · 19 min. We did not make this video and we do not host it — watching it here still counts as a view for the creator.

Sanctum provides token‑based auth ideal for SPA and mobile apps. Pay attention to configuring the sanctum middleware and issuing tokens after login. New developers often forget to add the HasApiTokens trait to the User model, resulting in token errors.

In production you’ll issue long‑lived personal access tokens or short‑lived SPA cookies, depending on the client.
