Laravel: Forgot Password Controller for API

api.php

<?php

Route::post('forgot/password', 'ForgotPasswordController')->name('forgot.password')

ForgotPasswordController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api\Auth;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\SendsPasswordResetEmails;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Password;

class ForgotPasswordController extends Controller
{
	use SendsPasswordResetEmails;

	/**
	 * Create a new controller instance.
	 */
	public function __construct()
	{
		$this->middleware('guest');
	}

	public function __invoke(Request $request)
	{
		$this->validateEmail($request);

		// We will send the password reset link to this user. Once we have attempted
		// to send the link, we will examine the response then see the message we
		// need to show to the user. Finally, we'll send out a proper response.
		$response = $this->broker()->sendResetLink(
			$request->only('email')
		);

		return $response == Password::RESET_LINK_SENT
			? response()->json(['message' => 'Reset link sent to your email.', 'status' => true], 201)
			: response()->json(['message' => 'Unable to send reset link', 'status' => false], 401);
	}
}

We must handle request and guess expected response type if same function is returning response for both WEB and API like this

if($request->expectsJson()){
        return $response = Password::RESET_LINK_SENT
            ? response()->json(['status' => 'Success','message' => 'Reset Password Link Sent'],201)
            : response()->json(['status' => 'Fail','message' => 'Reset Link Could Not Be Sent'],401);
    } 

In the route action i had to add ‘Api\Auth’ before the ‘ForgotPasswordController’. Thanks!

Why did I get Route [password.reset] not defined ??? If I'm using a api request no form action in blade template. Anyone knows how to resolve this ?

@joerecra You might have to run the 'php artisan make:auth' command.

and for mobile development how we catch link for that?
