Class jwt-auth does not exist error when using middleware in Laravel 5.1

Question

I followed the official JWT-Auth installation https://github.com/tymondesigns/jwt-auth/wiki/Installation.

I now have a middleware in my controller:

$this->middleware('jwt-auth', ['only' => ['postChange', 'postChoose']]);

I have also add Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\JWTAuthServiceProvider::class to providers array in config/app.php

However when I make a request to the API I get this error message:

ReflectionException in Container.php line 737:
Class jwt-auth does not exist

Any help at all will be appreciated.

I have the same problem to use the middlewares you will have to register them in app/Http/Kernel.php under the $routeMiddleware property:

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    ...
    'jwt.auth' => 'Tymon\JWTAuth\Middleware\GetUserFromToken',
    'jwt.refresh' => 'Tymon\JWTAuth\Middleware\RefreshToken',
];

I have registered it ..are you using jwt.auth or jwt-auth as the middleware

Thanks. Seems the official documentation is not very informative.

Do you run PHPUnit tests? I am trying to make a request by using token in a test getting errors

Remember to place those single quotes ('). They are very important.

I have been facing a similar issue. You have to add exactly

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    .......
    'jwt.auth' => \Tymon\JWTAuth\Middleware\GetUserFromToken::class,
    'jwt.refresh' => \Tymon\JWTAuth\Middleware\RefreshToken::class,
];

Remember the "\" at the begining.

I had the same problem and turned out that "\" is required on the begin of the path (per analogy to the other middleware entries) :

'jwt.auth' => \Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\JWTAuthServiceProvider::class

and this resolved my problem (Laravel 5.1.4)
