Laravel – How to Uninstall Laravel Passport

composer-phplaravel

I've decided to use JWT and completely remove Laravel Passport from the project.

I was trying to start with composer remove laravel/passport. However, it does no good:

  [Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError]
  Class 'Laravel\Passport\Passport' not found


Script @php artisan package:discover handling the post-autoload-dump event returned with error code 1

Removal failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

What could be the right and safe removing procedure?

You can remove passport by manually deleting this line "laravel/passport": "^4.0" in your composer.json file then run composer update.

If you're running Laravel 5.4 or below, make sure to remove this line in your app.config file Laravel\Passport\PassportServiceProvider::class

And all classes that relies on passport must be edited as well. The most common classes are:

  1. User model, remove the HasApiToken trait.
  2. AuthServiceProvider, remove Passport::routes(); in your boot method.
  3. Your config/auth.php, change your driver option for api authentication
