How to provide token when adding records via AJAX? {"error":"token_not_provided"} about builder

To do an AJAX request with the user already logged in you dont need JWT. JWT is designed for apps that have a completely separated front-end to backend example: Single Page Applications that need to authenticate with an API. Ember is a great JavaScript framework for that.

Based on what I'm seeing you're trying to send the _token as an Authorization header. If you're using the _token that is defined by default thats the CSRF token so you need to adjust your request as follows:

<input type="hidden" v-model="activity._token" value="window._token">

				axios.post('/api/v1/activities', this.activity)
                                 .then((res) => { console.log(res); })
                                 .catch((err) => { console.error(err); })
          
			}```

Then in the `master.blade.php` file you'll need to adjust the `_token` to `window._token` that should work then.

Okay thank you for the explanation of using JWT. I think it's going to be easier to use the CRUD Maker pattern and similar type forms.

I spun up a new Grafite app to test the CRUD Maker and ran into an issue where in ActivateService:sendActivationToken auth()->user()->meta is evaluating to null, after I ran the seeder.

Do you know why the meta relationship comes up null after running the seeder? (If this is better as a separate issue I can open it that way)

Off the top of my head no, you'd have to check your database and confirm that that relationship exists.

All good! Appreciate the help. I'm simplifying it by adding activities the old fashion way:

<form method="POST" action="/activities">
    {{ csrf_field() }}
    <input type="date" class="form-control" name="date">
    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="title">
    <input type="submit" value="Add Activity" class="btn btn-primary">
</form>

Down the line I'll get more comfortable with API interactions and the CRUD Maker. Awesome tool!
