I am trying to develop a rest api using lumen. For authentication I am using Dingo and JWTAuth api, but I am getting the following message:

Auth guard driver [api] is not defined.

Below is a screenshot of the message from Postman, including the stacktrace.

In your bootstrap/app.php file, make sure the following line is uncommented:

$app->register(App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider::class);

This will cause the api auth driver to be registered.

Open the file bootstrap/app.php and uncomment (or add if you don't have them) the lines:

$app->register(App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider::class);

And:

$app->routeMiddleware([
    'auth' => App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
]);

And finally, run:

composer dump-autoload
