laravel calling route from a controller

Question

I am writing an API at the moment in Laravel, and using passport. My client will consume it's own API, so I am using personal access in Passport.

I am not wanting to show my oauth route and grant id, or secret in the POST request so I have created a route that sits the user posts too to login, and then deals with send a POST request to the oauth/token route, like below,

protected function authenticate(Request $request) {
        //return $request->input();
        //return Response::json($this->client);
        $email = $request->input('username');
            $password = $request->input('password');
            $request->request->add([
                'username' => $email,
                'password' => $password,
                'grant_type' => 'password',
                'client_id' => $this->client->id,
                'client_secret' => $this->client->secret,
                'scope' => '*'
            ]);

            $tokenRequest = Request::create(
                env('APP_URL').'/oauth/token',
                'post'
            );

            return Route::dispatch($tokenRequest)->getContent();

        }

My problem is that my authentication returns 200 irrespective of whether the oauth login was successful. Is there a way to fire a route from a controller and return that http code for that rather than the method it was called from http response?

If your frontend is consuming the API directly and within the same application and using JavaScript, you can simply use the built-in CSRF token. Have you seen this? laravel.com/docs/5.3/… — tptcat

this should fix the problem.

$data = [
        'grant_type'=> 'password',
        'client_id'=> 99,
        'client_secret'=> 'hgfhfhjnhnjnjnjnj',
        'username'=> $request->username,
        'password'=> $request->password,
        'scopes'=> '[*]'
    ];
$request = Request::create('/oauth/token', 'POST', $data);
return app()->handle($request);
