Error when using the auth()->tokenById($id) function.

[jfoza]

Subject of the issue

When using the tokenById function, the error Carbon\Carbon::rawAddUnit(): Argument #3 ($value) must be of type int|float, string given, called in \/var\/www\/html\/vendor \/nesbot\/carbon\/src\/Carbon\/Traits\/Units.php on line 356 is fired. The problem occurred with the variable JWT_TTL which is arriving as a string instead of an integer when this function is called /**

• Get the Expiration (exp) claim.
• @return int */ public function exp() { return Utils::now()->addMinutes($this->ttl)->getTimestamp(); }

This change resolved the issue in an alternative way: $ttl = (int) $this->ttl; return Utils::now()->addMinutes($ttl)->getTimestamp();

I encountered a similar issue with the Carbon\Carbon::rawAddUnit() error due to the JWT ttl value being passed as a string. I managed to resolve this by ensuring that the ttl value is cast to an integer directly in the configuration file. This might help anyone else experiencing this error.

Here’s how I modified the configuration:

// In config/jwt.php
'ttl' => (int) env('JWT_TTL', 60),  // Cast to int here

This change ensures that the ttl value is always an integer, regardless of how it's specified in the environment variables. It might be helpful to include this type of casting within the library itself to prevent similar issues.

Hope this helps!
