What guard should I use in Spatie permission when I'm using sanctum for my APIs?

Question

I'm currently using the Spatie permission package, but I'm a bit confused what guard should I use since I'm using sanctum to authenticate the users. Should I use web? or api? or sanctum?

Answer 1

you can use the api guard if you have configured the api guard with sanctum driver in auth.php

'guards' => [
    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'admins',
    ],

    'api' => [
        'driver' => 'sanctum',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ]
], 

and in api.php you can group them with

Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth:api']], function () {
