auth0-laravel

Q: How do I install auth0-laravel?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/auth0/agent-skills --skill auth0-laravel in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/auth0-laravel/ (personal) or .claude/skills/auth0-laravel/ (project).

by auth0Backend & APIs

Use when adding session-based login, logout, or user profile to a Laravel web application. Integrates auth0/login (laravel-auth0) with guard-based auth — use even if the user says "add login to my Laravel app".

Auth0 Laravel Web App Integration

Add login, logout, and user profile to a Laravel web application using auth0/login (Laravel Auth0 SDK).

Prerequisites

Laravel 11+ application
PHP 8.2+ with extensions: mbstring, openssl, json
Composer installed
Auth0 Regular Web Application configured (not an API - must be an Application)
If you don't have Auth0 set up yet, use the auth0-quickstart skill first

When NOT to Use

Scenario	Use Instead
Laravel API with JWT Bearer validation	`auth0-laravel-api` (stateless token guard)
Plain PHP (no framework) web app	`auth0-php`
Plain PHP API	`auth0-php-api`
Single Page Applications	`auth0-react`, `auth0-vue`, or `auth0-angular`
Next.js applications	`auth0-nextjs`
Node.js web apps	`auth0-express` or `auth0-fastify`
Flask web apps	`auth0-flask`

Quick Start Workflow

1. Install SDK

composer require auth0/login

The auth0/login package requires auth0/auth0-php (v8.19+) and will install it automatically. It also requires a PSR-18 HTTP client - if you don't already have one, install Guzzle:

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle guzzlehttp/psr7

2. Publish Configuration

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=auth0

This creates config/auth0.php with guard, middleware, and route configuration.

3. Configure Environment

Add to your .env:

APP_URL=http://localhost:8000
AUTH0_DOMAIN=your-tenant.us.auth0.com
AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
AUTH0_AUDIENCE=https://your-api-identifier
AUTH0_REDIRECT_URI=${APP_URL}/callback

AUTH0_DOMAIN is your Auth0 tenant domain (without https://). AUTH0_CLIENT_ID and AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET come from your Auth0 Application settings. AUTH0_AUDIENCE must be set to an API identifier registered in Auth0 (Auth0 Dashboard > Applications > APIs) - without it, Auth0 returns opaque access tokens that the SDK cannot decode, causing a crash on session restore. The SDK uses APP_KEY as the cookie secret by default - no separate secret needed.

Important: Ensure APP_URL includes the port if using the built-in dev server (http://localhost:8000). Fresh Laravel installs default to http://localhost (no port) which causes callback URL mismatches.

4. Configure Auth0 Dashboard

In your Auth0 Application settings:

Application Type: Regular Web Application
Allowed Callback URLs: http://localhost:8000/callback
Allowed Logout URLs: http://localhost:8000

5. Configure Auth Guards

Update config/auth.php to use Auth0 guards:

'guards' => [
    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'auth0.authenticator',
        'provider' => 'auth0-provider',
        'configuration' => 'web',
    ],
],

'providers' => [
    'auth0-provider' => [
        'driver' => 'auth0.provider',
        'repository' => 'auth0.repository',
    ],
],

The configuration key maps to the guard definition in config/auth0.php (web uses STRATEGY_REGULAR with session-based auth). We override the default web guard so that Laravel's built-in auth middleware and auth()->user() work without specifying a guard name. The SDK also auto-registers an auth0-session guard with identical config, but overriding web is simpler.

6. Routes Are Auto-Registered

The SDK automatically registers these routes when registerAuthenticationRoutes is true in config/auth0.php:

GET /login - Redirects to Auth0 Universal Login
GET /callback - Handles OAuth callback, exchanges code for tokens
GET /logout - Destroys session and redirects to Auth0 logout

No manual route definitions needed for the auth flow.

7. Add Protected Routes

In routes/web.php:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('home', ['user' => auth()->user()]);
});

Route::middleware('auth')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/profile', function () {
        return view('profile', ['user' => auth()->user()]);
    });
});

The standard auth middleware works with the Auth0 guard. Unauthenticated users are redirected to /login.

8. Create Views

Create resources/views/home.blade.php:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Home</title>
</head>
<body>
    @if($user)
        <h1>Welcome, {{ $user->name }}!</h1>
        <p><a href="/profile">Profile</a></p>
        <p><a href="/logout">Logout</a></p>
    @else
        <h1>Welcome</h1>
        <p><a href="/login">Login</a></p>
    @endif
</body>
</html>

Create resources/views/profile.blade.php:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Profile</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>{{ $user->name }}</h1>
    <p>Email: {{ $user->email }}</p>
    <img src="{{ $user->picture }}" alt="avatar" width="100" />
    <hr>
    <h2>User Claims</h2>
    <pre>{{ json_encode($user->jsonSerialize(), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT) }}</pre>
    <p><a href="/">Home</a> | <a href="/logout">Logout</a></p>
</body>
</html>

9. Test Authentication

php artisan serve

Visit http://localhost:8000 and click Login.

Important: Always access the app via http://localhost:8000 (not http://127.0.0.1:8000). The callback URL uses localhost, so the session cookie must be set for localhost to persist across the Auth0 login redirect. Using 127.0.0.1 causes an "Invalid state" error because the session cookie won't be sent to the localhost callback URL.

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Fix
Using `auth0/auth0-php` directly in Laravel	Use `auth0/login` which wraps the SDK with Laravel guards, middleware, and routes
App created as SPA type in Auth0 Dashboard	Must be Regular Web Application for server-side session auth
Missing callback URL in Auth0 Dashboard	Add `http://localhost:8000/callback` to Allowed Callback URLs
Missing logout URL in Auth0 Dashboard	Add `http://localhost:8000` to Allowed Logout URLs
Not publishing the config	Run `php artisan vendor:publish --tag=auth0` before configuring
Using wrong guard driver name	Driver is `auth0.authenticator` (not `auth0` or `auth0.guard`)
Forgetting to set `APP_KEY`	Run `php artisan key:generate` - the SDK uses this as cookie secret
Calling `Auth0::getCredentials()` directly	Use Laravel's `auth()->user()` - the SDK integrates via guards
Manually defining `/login`, `/callback`, `/logout` routes	Routes are auto-registered by the service provider
Setting `AUTH0_DOMAIN` with `https://` prefix	Use bare domain: `tenant.us.auth0.com` not `https://tenant.us.auth0.com`
Using `$request->user()` without middleware	Only available in routes with the `auth` middleware applied
Missing `AUTH0_AUDIENCE` env var	Without an audience, Auth0 returns opaque tokens the SDK cannot parse - causes "JWT string must contain two dots" crash
Visiting `http://127.0.0.1:8000` instead of `http://localhost:8000`	Session cookies set for `127.0.0.1` won't be sent to the `localhost` callback - causes "Invalid state" error
Using `$user->getName()` or `$user->getEmail()`	`StatefulUser` uses magic `__get` - use `$user->name`, `$user->email`, `$user->picture`

Key SDK Methods

Method	Usage	Purpose
`auth()->user()`	In routes/controllers	Returns the authenticated `StatefulUser` or `null`
`auth()->check()`	In routes/controllers/views	Returns `true` if user is authenticated
`auth()->guard('web')`	When using multiple guards	Gets a specific Auth0 guard instance
`$user->name`	On user object	User's display name (via `__get` magic)
`$user->email`	On user object	User's email (via `__get` magic)
`$user->picture`	On user object	User's avatar URL (via `__get` magic)
`$user->getAuthIdentifier()`	On user object	Returns the Auth0 `sub` claim
`$user->getAttribute('claim')`	On user object	Returns any claim value explicitly
`$user->jsonSerialize()`	On user object	Returns all user claims as array

User Object

The authenticated user is a StatefulUser instance implementing Laravel's Authenticatable contract. It uses __get magic for property-style access to claims:

$user = auth()->user();

$user->name;                   // display name (via __get)
$user->email;                  // email address (via __get)
$user->picture;                // avatar URL (via __get)
$user->email_verified;         // any claim via property access
$user->getAuthIdentifier();   // Auth0 'sub' (e.g. 'auth0|abc123')
$user->getAttribute('sub');    // explicit claim access
$user->jsonSerialize();        // all claims as array

Access any ID token claim as a property: $user->nickname, $user->updated_at, $user->sub, etc. For explicit access, use $user->getAttribute('claim_name').

    'auth0-provider' => [
        'driver' => 'auth0.provider',
        'repository' => 'auth0.repository',
    ],
],

Route protection:

Route::middleware('auth')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/dashboard', [DashboardController::class, 'index']);
});

Check auth in Blade:

@auth
    <p>Hello, {{ auth()->user()->name }}</p>
@else
    <a href="/login">Login</a>
@endauth

Environment variables:

APP_URL - Application URL with port (e.g. http://localhost:8000)
AUTH0_DOMAIN - Auth0 tenant domain (e.g. tenant.us.auth0.com)
AUTH0_CLIENT_ID - Application client ID
AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET - Application client secret
AUTH0_AUDIENCE - API identifier (required for JWT access tokens)
AUTH0_REDIRECT_URI - Callback URL (defaults to ${APP_URL}/callback)
APP_KEY - Laravel app key, used as cookie encryption secret
