Authentication

• Login
• Retrieve user
• Logout

Laravel CMS tries to authenticate against entries of the Laravel users table. To be able to use the GraphQL API, they need to be editors (use the artisan command to set the editor role):

php artisan cms:editor editor@example.com

Login

To authenticate for editing content:

mutation {
  cmsLogin(email: "editor@example.com", password: "secret") {
    name
    email
  }
}

{
  "data": {
    "cmsLogin": {
      "name": "A CMS editor",
      "email": "editor@example.com"
    }
  }
}

Retrieve user

Retrieve information about the authenticated user:

query {
  me {
    name
    email
  }
}

{
  "data": {
    "me": {
      "name": "A CMS editor",
      "email": "editor@example.com"
    }
  }
}

Logout

To log the current user out of the application:

mutation {
  cmsLogout {
    name
    email
  }
}

{
  "data": {
    "cmsLogout": {
      "name": "A CMS editor",
      "email": "editor@example.com"
    }
  }
}
