laravel-mongodb: Password Reset errors [1 fix/other open]

I just started working with this package, not disappointed so far. However when enabling the PasswordResetServiceProvider I encountered an error when requesting a new password.

In the file Jenssegers/Mongodb/Auth/PasswordBrokerManager.php the method createTokenRepository creates an instance of the DatabaseTokenRepository. However the second argument should be a hash. I copied te code form the original method so the function looks like this:

protected function createTokenRepository(array $config)
    {
        $key = $this->app['config']['app.key'];

        if (Str::startsWith($key, 'base64:')) {
            $key = base64_decode(substr($key, 7));
        }

        $connection = isset($config['connection']) ? $config['connection'] : null;

        return new DatabaseTokenRepository(
            $this->app['db']->connection($connection),
            $this->app['hash'],
            $config['table'],
            $key,
            $config['expire']
        );

I tried it and it send the mail as expected.

Also when you have received the password reset email. When you have entered your email and new password a new error occurs.

FatalThrowableError in DatabaseTokenRepository.php line 24: Cannot use object of type MongoDB\BSON\UTCDateTime as array

I think this is because the tokeExpired method expects and $createdAt parameter and receives a $token parameter. I can only assume that those two mean different things.

I used Laravel 5.4.23 when debugging this problem.

The composer.json after a fresh install has a part that looks exactly like this

...
"psr-4": {
    "App\\": "app/"
}
...

Just change it to this

...
"psr-4": {
    "App\\": "app/",
    "Jenssegers\\Mongodb\\": "fixes/Jenssegers/Mongodb/"
}
...

In the same directory as composer.json create a new directory called fixes. If you want to change Jenssegers/Mongodb/Auth/DatabaseTokenRepository.php, then create the directories and the file such that you will have fixes/Jenssegers/Mongodb/Auth/DatabaseTokenRepository.php. Then delete the composer.lock file and install composer again.

The namespaces will still remain the same. How the autoload will work it will prioritize the fixes over the package files/classes.

Update: Don’t reïnstall Composer or delete composer.lock. Instead use the rebuild command, this will only rebuild the autoloader.

For the token invalid I found that you also need to change getPayload method from the DatabaseTokenRepository to

protected function getPayload($email, $token)
    {
        return ['email' => $email, 'token' => $this->hasher->make($token), 'created_at' => new UTCDateTime(time() * 1000)];
    }

Yeah, you don’t have to, but I it is better to keep to the original code in case you miss something.

There is a way, but it is kind of a hacky way. Create a map called fixes and then add in the composer.json file in the psr-4 array a entry called "Jenssegers\\Mongodb\\": "fixes/Jenssegers/Mongodb/". Then take the files you want to replace like the DatabaseTokenRepository.php and add it to fixed/Jenssegers/Mongodb/Auth/DatabaseTokeRepository.php. Then you have to reset composer, by deleting composer.lock and install composer again. And it should work.
