2. admins

Step : 1 Add following route in routes/api.php

Route::post('auth/userlogin', 'ApiController@userLogin');
Route::post('auth/adminlogin', 'ApiController@adminLogin');

Step : 2 Create Controller

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Http\Requests;
use Config;
use JWTAuth;
use JWTAuthException;
use App\User;
use App\Admin;

class ApiController extends Controller
{

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->user = new User;
        $this->admin = new Admin;
    }
    
    public function userLogin(Request $request){
		Config::set('jwt.user', 'App\User'); 
		Config::set('auth.providers.users.model', \App\User::class);
		$credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');
		$token = null;
		try {
		    if (!$token = JWTAuth::attempt($credentials)) {
		        return response()->json([
		            'response' => 'error',
		            'message' => 'invalid_email_or_password',
		        ]);
		    }
		} catch (JWTAuthException $e) {
		    return response()->json([
		        'response' => 'error',
		        'message' => 'failed_to_create_token',
		    ]);
		}
		return response()->json([
		    'response' => 'success',
		    'result' => [
		        'token' => $token,
		        'message' => 'I am front user',
		    ],
		]);
    }

    public function adminLogin(Request $request){
		Config::set('jwt.user', 'App\Admin'); 
		Config::set('auth.providers.users.model', \App\Admin::class);
		$credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');
		$token = null;
		try {
		    if (!$token = JWTAuth::attempt($credentials)) {
		        return response()->json([
		            'response' => 'error',
		            'message' => 'invalid_email_or_password',
		        ]);
		    }
		} catch (JWTAuthException $e) {
		    return response()->json([
		        'response' => 'error',
		        'message' => 'failed_to_create_token',
		    ]);
		}
		return response()->json([
		    'response' => 'success',
		    'result' => [
		        'token' => $token,
		        'message' => 'I am Admin user',
		    ],
		]);
    }
}
