API Token with Seeds & Factories

[dakiesse]

Hey! How can I make API Token for User via Factories/Seed?

Hey @dakiesse ! 👋

I didn't really understand your question. Also, if it's not an issue in the framework, please ask this question in the forum/discord server.

Hey @RomainLanz ,

I meant How to use generating an api token for seeding (How to create token entity for user through seeding) but I have already found a solution for it:

const Config = use('Adonis/Src/Config')
const Auth = use('Adonis/Src/Auth')

class UserSeeder {
  async run () {
    await clearDatabase()

    // main user
    const user = await Factory.model('App/Models/User').create()

    // make token
    const auth = new Auth({}, Config)
    const token = await auth.generate(user)
    console.log('Main user token:', token)

    // ... other code
  }
}

Why would you want to make a JWT token while seeding?

[dakiesse]

I want to make API Token (no JWT). I have been doing because I create a mobile application and I want to test auth. For example, a case when a user is EXISTS and need to auth at mobile application.

Cool 👍

I believe we can close this issue since you found a solution. Feel free to comment again if you want me to reopen it!
