how to create a JWT token with a role of a user ( Spatie JWT web token)

I want to pass the role of a user with a token after login. Instead of passing like below

 return response()->json([  
            'success' => true, 
            'access_token' => $token,
            'token_type' => 'bearer',
             'role' => auth('api')->user()->getRoleNames()
            /* 'expires_in' => auth('api')->factory()->getTTL() * 60 */
  ]);

I want to encode a role of a user with a JWT token. what I have tried

 public function login()
    {
        $credentials = request(['email', 'password']);

        if (! $token = auth()->guard('api')->attempt($credentials)) {
            return response()->json(['errors' => 'In-valid username and Password'], 401);
        }
        return $this->respondWithToken($token);
    }

  protected function respondWithToken($token)
    {

        $role =auth('api')->user()->getRoleNames();
        $payload = JWTFactory::make($role); 
        $token = JWTAuth::encode($payload);

        return response()->json([  
            'success' => true, 
            'access_token' => $token,
            'token_type' => 'bearer',
        ]);
    }

when I tried this I am not getting a token. I have seen this documentation https://github.com/tymondesigns/jwt-auth/wiki/Creating-Tokens to do this.

Thank you

Here we need to create our own token with user role.The code which work for me and it may help to others.

 public function login()
    {
        $credentials = request(['email', 'password']);

        if (!auth()->guard('api')->claims(['role' => 'bar'])->attempt($credentials)) {
            return response()->json(['errors' => 'In-valid username and Password'], 401);
        }

        $token = auth('api')->claims(['role' => str_replace(['["', '"]', '/', '*'], '',auth('api')->user()->getRoleNames())])->attempt($credentials);
        return $this->respondWithToken($token);

    }

 protected function respondWithToken($token)
    {
        auth('api')->payload($token);
        return response()->json([  
            'success' => true, 
            'access_token' => $token,
            'token_type' => 'bearer',
        ]);
    }
