🛠 Requirements

Before installing Keysmith React, ensure your environment meets the following requirements:

PHP 8.0+
Laravel 12.x
React 19.x
Laravel Sanctum

🚀 Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require blaspsoft/keysmith-react

Choose Your Installation Template

You can install one (or both) of the available templates:

Page Template

Adds a dedicated API tokens page at pages/api-tokens/index.tsx.

php artisan keysmith:install page

Settings Template

Integrates API token management within the Laravel Vue Starterkit settings at pages/settings/api-tokens.tsx.

php artisan keysmith:install settings

🔧 Configuration

1️⃣ Configure Inertia Middleware

Add the following to your HandleInertiaRequests.php middleware's share method to enable API token flash messages:

'flash' => [
    'api_token' => fn () => session()->get('api_token'),
],

Full example:

public function share(Request $request): array
{
    [$message, $author] = str(Inspiring::quotes()->random())->explode('-');

    return [
        ...parent::share($request),
        'name' => config('app.name'),
        'quote' => ['message' => trim($message), 'author' => trim($author)],
        'auth' => [
            'user' => $request->user(),
        ],
        'flash' => [
            'api_token' => fn () => session()->get('api_token'),
        ],
    ];
}

This ensures newly created API tokens are displayed to users.

2️⃣ Add Navigation Links

For the Page Template

Modify js/components/app-sidebar.tsx:

const mainNavItems: NavItem[] = [
  {
    title: "Dashboard",
    href: "/dashboard",
    icon: LayoutGrid,
  },
  {
    title: "API Tokens",
    href: "/api-tokens",
    icon: KeyRound,
  },
];

For the Settings Template

Modify js/layouts/settings/layout.tsx:

const sidebarNavItems: NavItem[] = [
  {
    title: "Profile",
    href: "/settings/profile",
  },
  {
    title: "Password",
    href: "/settings/password",
  },
  {
    title: "Appearance",
    href: "/settings/appearance",
  },
  {
    title: "API Tokens",
    href: "/settings/api-tokens",
  },
];

3️⃣ (Optional) Publish Configuration File

To customize settings, publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=keysmith-config --force

This creates config/keysmith.php, where you can modify key permissions.

🔑 Dependencies

Keysmith React requires Laravel Sanctum for API token authentication.

Install Laravel Sanctum:
```
composer require laravel/sanctum
```

Publish and run Sanctum’s migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravel\Sanctum\SanctumServiceProvider" --tag="sanctum-migrations"
php artisan migrate

Add the HasApiTokens trait to your User model:

use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasApiTokens;
    // ... existing code ...
}

📦 Components

Keysmith React provides two main components located in /components:

create-api-token-form.tsx → Form for generating new API tokens
manage-api-tokens.tsx → Component for viewing and managing existing tokens

These components are used in both Page and Settings templates.

🌐 Routes

Keysmith uses the routes defined below:

Route::get('/settings/api-tokens', [TokenController::class, 'index'])->name('settings.api-tokens.index');
Route::get('/api-tokens', [TokenController::class, 'index'])->name('api-tokens.index');
Route::post('/api-tokens', [TokenController::class, 'store'])->name('api-tokens.store');
Route::put('/api-tokens/{token}', [TokenController::class, 'update'])->name('api-tokens.update');
Route::delete('/api-tokens/{token}', [TokenController::class, 'destroy'])->name('api-tokens.destroy');

🧪 Testing

Keysmith React includes tests in tests/Feature/ApiToken/:

Run the tests with:

php artisan test

🎛 Customizing Permissions

Modify the available API token permissions in config/keysmith.php:

return [
    'permissions' => [
        'read',
        'create',
        'update',
        'delete',
        // Add your custom permissions here
    ],
];
