[Refresh Tokens for Laravel](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/refresh-tokens-for-laravel.md)

# Installation

Require the package, then publish and run the migration. Migrations are publish-only — the package does not load them — and the service provider and the RefreshTokens facade are auto-discovered:

```bash
composer require roundly-consulting/refresh-tokens-for-laravel

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="refresh-tokens-migrations"
php artisan migrate
```

If your owner models are UUID- or ULID-keyed, set `key_type` **before** you migrate — the `owner_id` column is baked into the schema:

```bash
REFRESH_TOKENS_KEY_TYPE=ulid
```

The config file is optional — every key has an env-backed default. Publish it only to override:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="refresh-tokens-config"
```

## Add the trait

Add HasRefreshTokens to every model that holds sessions — any Authenticatable Eloquent model. Each owner model is an isolated account type in the same table:

```php
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use RoundlyConsulting\RefreshTokens\Traits\HasRefreshTokens;

final class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasRefreshTokens;
}

final class Client extends Authenticatable   // a second, isolated account type
{
    use HasRefreshTokens;
}
```

The only publish tags the package exposes are refresh-tokens-migrations and refresh-tokens-config. Its companion packages — crypto-for-laravel, enums-for-laravel and package-toolkit-for-laravel — are installed automatically and need no configuration.
