我是否可以使用post请求登录用户，而不是默认通过Laravel登录页面

Question

In Laravel (5.4) I can login by going to {domain}/login and submitting the login form. This works fine.

What I want though, is to be able to send a request like so:

{domain}/login?email=[e-mail]&password=pass1234

and if user is authenticated, a json response would return with the api_token for that specific user, but if the user is rejected, a json response with the message "User login failed".

Is it possible to do this in Laravel as of yet? Or do I have to implement my own method?

Yes it is possible. You'll have to modify your LoginController by adding a new method, along the lines of:

public function authenticate(Request $request)
    {
        if (Auth::attempt(['email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password])) {
            // Authentication passed...
            return json_encode($my_things);
        }
    }
