Powerful and extremely flexible authentication
Key Features
- Framework agnostic:
Can work with any framework and any ORM / database layer. Implement two classes to integrate with your tools of choice and Auth will do the rest.
Learn more about Integration - Multiple Instances:
No statics or manky global scope. Every auth instance is totally self contained and can talk to entirely different backends and session handlers.
Learn more about Multiple Instances - Powerful Permissions:
Package based permissions allow you to define broad access control groups, and Overrides allow you to allow/disallow permissions on a per-user basis

Installation
Installation is as you'd expect, simply via a Composer requirement:
{ "require": { "solution10/auth": "^1.2" } }
Note: Auth provides absolutely no storage capability (no database layer / access). You will need to provide this by implementing a StorageDelegate. This approach might seem awkward at first, but it allows you to take completely control over the logic of data-retrieval, whilst Auth handles the actual mechanics for you. Learn more about Integration
Basic Usage
Your first step should be to complete everything in the Integration guide, but that doesn't make for a sexy demo, so we'll assume you've done that!
Let's pretend that I have fully implemented a StorageDelegate called "PDOStorageDelegate".
// The storage delegate handles reading/writing User data from // your data store. That could be a database, REST service, whatever. $storageDelegate = new PDOStorageDelegate(); // The session delegate handles maintaining state between // page loads. Essentially, it's a front to the $_SESSION array, // but if you do it different, you can re-implement! $sessionDelegate = new Solution10\Auth\Driver\Session(); // Fire up a new instance called "MyAuth" $auth = new Solution10\Auth\Auth('MyAuth', $sessionDelegate, $storageDelegate); // Play with some API methods: if ($auth->loggedIn()) { echo 'Hi, '.$auth->user()->username.', welcome to the site!'; }
As you may have noticed, we give auth instances names. This gives us a way of referencing them later. More on that in the Instances chapter.
Logging In
if ($auth->login($username, $password)) { echo 'User was logged in!'; } else { echo 'Please check your username and password.'; }
Logging Out
$auth->logout();
Checking Login State
if ($auth->loggedIn())) { echo "You're logged in!"; } else { echo "You are not logged in :("; }
Getting the Current User
$user = $auth->user();
Forcing a Login
This should be used with extreme caution, it will allow you to log a user in without their password. Probably only useful after registration.
// The $user object needs to be a class that implements the // Solution10\Auth\UserRepresentation interface. // It's a tiny interface, but it just gives us enough info to // do our work. $user = new UserRepresentationInstance(); $user->forceLogin($user);
You can read more about UserRepresentation in the Integration guide
