After logging in to that URL the OAuth server will redirect back to our app where we can get an access token that we can use to request protected resources.
This tutorial will be the first part of multiple posts where we create an Angular SPA (Single Page Application) that uses a Laravel API. For this post we will work on setting up the project then adding authentication and authorization. We will be using Laravel's Passport together with Dingo API.
