Laravel JWT Auth Returning False

Question

I have followed the tutorial below but when I get the current user it always returns false. I am able to sign in and get my token in postman. I then create the url and hit send. However the following function always returns false.

$currentUser = JWTAuth::parseToken()->authenticate();
dd(currentUser)

Update When I run the below code I get the token value.

$token = JWTAuth::getToken();
JWTAuth::setToken($token);

The code fails at the following point

if (! $user = JWTAuth::parseToken()->authenticate()) {
    return response()->json(['user_not_found'], 404);
}

you passed generated token with your request? https://dab1nmslvvntp.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/1455663699postman_other_test.png — Renish Khunt, Jan 27 '17 at 05:12
that is correct like http://localhost:8080/test?token=123456. Using the token I was provided at login. — Matt, Jan 27 '17 at 05:14
I did use an account that I signed up with via a form as apposed to the api. But still got the token when I logged in. — Matt, Jan 27 '17 at 05:16

Below is the answer that solved my problem. I was using user_id as opposed to id. I changed this in the jwt config file.
