Error Laravel API "Target class [auth.api] does not exist."

Question

I try login with the API, and login successful. But when I try to access page with Auth:users()-> show error like this

{
    "message": "Target class [auth.api] does not exist.",
    "exception": "Illuminate\\Contracts\\Container\\BindingResolutionException",
    "file": "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/i-entry-system/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Container/Container.php",

This is my controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api\Employer;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Models\CompanyDetail;
use App\Models\Employer;
use App\Http\Controllers\Utils\Tools\ToolsController;
use App\Models\Worker;
use Auth;
use App\Services\SectorServices;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ApiEmployerController extends Controller
{
    public $successStatus = 200;

    /**
     * API get data from DB
     *
     * @param Request $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $dataFromDB = Worker::with('company_detail', 'employer')
                ->where('company_id', $request->company_id);

            if (Auth::user()->area_role_relation) {
                // Only show user belongs to user's state
                if (Auth::user()->area_role_relation->state_id) {
                  $query->where('state_id', Auth::user()->area_role_relation->state_id);
                }
            }

            $dataFromDB = $dataFromDB->orderBy('id', 'desc');
            $dataFromDB = $dataFromDB->get();

        return response()->json($dataFromDB, $this->successStatus);
    }
}
?>

This is the route of API

Route::POST('employer/index', 'Api\Employer\ApiEmployerController@index')->middleware('auth.api');

I'm trying to take the token and pass it to the api I'm aiming for after login but still getting an error. I have added use Auth; to the controller, still the same error.

Before this didn't happen, it happened recently. I am using Laravel 7.X and Passport 8.0.

does anyone receive an error like this?

Your middleware protection in your route is incorrect:

Route::POST('employer/index', 'Api\Employer\ApiEmployerController@index')->middleware('auth.api');

it should be:

Route::POST('employer/index', 'Api\Employer\ApiEmployerController@index')->middleware('auth:api');

Note the colon between auth and api.

An example from the manual: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/passport#via-middleware

Have you added the following code in config/auth.php ?

'guards' => [
    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],
    'api' => [
        'driver' => 'passport',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],
],

Need to check your function working or not and if not work then you need to change your Routes. like this,

Route::POST('employer/index', 'Api/Employer/ApiEmployerController@index')->middleware('auth.api');

Please be sure whatever tool you use please check your parameter and method are same or not also check a route in tools...!!

Happy Coding!!

For me, it happen when I use command: artisan optimize. Something to do with "compiled service and package file". After I cleared them back, it work fine: artisan optimize:clear.
