[Feature Request] Add the ability to set custom claims

[ludo237]

It would be nice to add custom claims before receiving the token from the Auth guard. What do you think?

[ollieread]

You can actually already do this @ludo237 using custom generation. This is how tokens are generated without a custom generator, so you could just provide your own generation and add your own custom claims.

Oh I saw the README I have two final questions: $instanteOfBuilder should be my custom guard class that implements the Guard contract therefore it should implements generateToken() right?

Should I put my setTokenGenerator() into AuthserviceProvider or in another location?

@ludo237 You do not need a custom guard.

If you put this in a service provider, doesn't matter which one as long as it's in the register() method, it will recreate the way it currently generates tokens. You can add your custom claims here.

Auth::guard('api')->setTokenGenerator(function (\Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable $user, \Sprocketbox\JWT\JWTGuard $guard) {
    $time   = Carbon::now();
    $expiry = new CarbonInterval($this->config['ttl']);
    
    return (new Builder)
        ->issuedBy(config('app.url'))
        ->permittedFor(config('app.url'))
        ->identifiedBy(Uuid::uuid4()->toString())
        ->issuedAt($time->timestamp)
        ->expiresAt($time->copy()->add($expiry)->timestamp)
        ->relatedTo($user->getAuthIdentifier());
});

The generator must return an instance of Lcobucci\JWT\Builder.

oh interesting, I need to experiment a bit because I'd like to pass a custom parameter for the claim

[ollieread]

@ludo237 You have given me an idea though.

[ludo237]

Glad I did. if I can help with the code don't esitate ask me.
