Internationalization

Laravel supports localization for responses

Token messages can be translated

Error messages localized via Laravel lang files

SPA/mobile apps can handle translations

Scopes and access control messages configurable per locale

Accessibility

APIs accessible via standard HTTP requests

Secure token validation ensures authorized access

SPA clients can authenticate via password grant

Scopes provide role-based access control

Middleware ensures only valid requests are served

Ui Styling

Primarily JSON API responses

SPA or mobile clients handle UI

Optional Laravel Blade templates for OAuth endpoints

Front-end frameworks handle token storage and usage

No built-in UI; relies on Laravel routes and controllers

State Management

Tokens manage authentication state

Scopes enforce per-request permissions

Middleware verifies token state

Personal tokens tied to user model

Revocation updates token state in database

Data Management

Database stores clients, tokens, and personal tokens

Scopes linked to access tokens for authorization

Refresh tokens stored securely

Token expiration managed automatically

Encrypted client secrets stored in database
