How do you handle API authentication in Laravel?

Answer: In Laravel, API authentication is typically handled using Passport or Sanctum.

– Laravel Passport: It provides a full OAuth2 server implementation for your Laravel application. You set it up by installing Passport, running migrations, and configuring the `Auth` facade to use `passport` as the guard. You then issue access tokens for user authentication.

– Laravel Sanctum: It offers a simple token-based authentication system. You can issue API tokens for users, and use middleware to protect your routes. To set it up, install Sanctum, publish the configuration, run migrations, and use the `HasApiTokens` trait in your User model.

Both methods allow you to protect your API routes and validate incoming requests based on user authentication.
