Route [login] not defined. in file

Level 73

This part ['except' => ['login'] is what gives you the error because the login route is not registered. You can search your project and look for 'login' string, and delete those usages if you want to avoid the login route.

@dipta_dey you have to write api/login since you place your routes in the api.php file, it will always be prefixed with api

@dipta_dey so if I understand correctly, you're trying to use the auth:api middleware in your AuthController except for the login method of the same controller, right?

If this is the case, I think the solution is to change this line:

$this->middleware('auth:api')->except('login');

my guards at auth.php

    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],

    'api' => [
        'driver' => 'jwt',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],

my api.php route

Route::resource('/user',AuthController::class);

Route::post('login',[AuthController::class,'login']);
