Understanding Laravel Sanctum 🛡️

Welcome to this new video where we’ll build an application with an API using Laravel and dive into the authentication process with Sanctum (🍪). We’ll start by installing and configuring everything, and then explore the authentication steps using cookies in the context of a SPA (Single Page Application).
🚀 Here's what's on the agenda:
Creating a simple Laravel application
Configuring Sanctum to manage authentication with HTTP-only cookies (🔒)
Installing and using HTTP clients like Insomnia (or Postman) to test the API
Handling common errors, including the notorious "CSRF token mismatch" (🤔)
We’ll also explore the necessary configurations for cookies, CORS, and API routes to ensure smooth communication between the frontend and backend.
🎯 Goal: To understand and correctly configure authentication with Laravel Sanctum for your SPA applications, while following the best security practices!
