I asked a question the right way to structure a project with Laravel 4. I currently am making an API (to support a mobile app) and a web app to serve as the backend.
1) What would be the best practice for this? Two installations (the web app would get data via the api (what I have done)? Using one Laravel installation with namespaces? One Laravel installation with folders?
2) I have make a custom auth driver for Laravel and got it working. In the return on login I return an API token which I need for subsequent calls. I understand that in Laravel, only the ID of the user is saved, how would I make the api token saved at well when Auth::check() passes? Some of this stuff is making me question if it is bad to use Laravel in this decoupled from the db setting because it makes Eloquent not an option.
