I'm planning on using NodeJS frontend and a Laravel backend for a project. Authentication I am planning on using tokens, so NodeJS will give a cookie to a user that sticks with the user and if the user attempts to login it calls the user service and creates a token for the user, this token will be put into Redis for other services to use to validate. However how would I be able to create this sort of authentication? I was thinking using the Authentication header and sending it in there. What would you guys suggest?
I'm using this
https://github.com/tappleby/laravel-auth-token
Its pretty straight forward to implement. The client just needs to pass in X-Auth-Token in the header for every page that requires authentication. Then that package takes the users hashed token, and gets gives the necessary User model to Auth
