README
A simple role/permission authentication package for Laravel 4
- Secure password storage with salt
- Role/permission based authentication
- Exceptions for intelligent handling of errors
- Configurable/extendable
Installation
Add Verify to your composer.json file:
"require": {
"toddish/verify": "2.0.*"
}
Now, run a composer update on the command line from the root of your project:
composer update
Registering the Package
Add the Verify Service Provider to your config in app/config/app.php
:
'providers' => array( 'Toddish\Verify\VerifyServiceProvider' ),
Change the driver
Then change your Auth driver to 'verify'
in app/config/auth.php
:
'driver' => 'verify',
You may also change the 'model'
value to 'Toddish\Verify\Models\User'
if you want to be able to load Verify's User model when using Auth::user()
.
Alternatively, you can simply create your own User model, and extend Verify's:
use Toddish\Verify\Models\User as VerifyUser; class User extends VerifyUser { // Code }
Publish the config
Run this on the command line from the root of your project:
php artisan config:publish toddish/verify
This will publish Verify's config to app/config/packages/toddish/verify/
.
You may also want to change the 'db_prefix'
value if you want a prefix on Verify's database tables.
Migration
Now migrate the database tables for Verify. Run this on the command line from the root of your project:
php artisan migrate --package="toddish/verify"
You should now have all the tables imported, complete with a sample user, called admin, with a password of password.
Usage
The package is intentionally lightweight. You add Users, Roles and Permissions like any other Model.
$user = new Toddish\Verify\Models\User; $role = new Toddish\Verify\Models\Role; $permission = new Toddish\Verify\Models\Permission;
etc.
All models are in the namespace 'Toddish\Verify\Models'.
The relationships are as follows:
- Roles have many and belong to Users
- Users have many and belong to Roles
- Roles have many and belong to Permissions
- Permissions have many and belong to Roles
Relationships are handled via the Eloquent ORM, too:
$role->permissions()->sync(array($permission->id, $permission2->id));
More information on relationships can be found in the Laravel 4 Eloquent docs.
Basic Examples
// Create a new Permission $permission = new Toddish\Verify\Models\Permission; $permission->name = 'delete_user'; $permission->save(); // Create a new Role $role = new Toddish\Verify\Models\Role; $role->name = 'Moderator'; $role->level = 7; $role->save(); // Assign the Permission to the Role $role->permissions()->sync(array($permission->id)); // Create a new User $user = new Toddish\Verify\Models\User; $user->username = 'Todd'; $user->email = 'todd@toddish.co.uk'; $user->password = 'password'; // This is automatically salted and encrypted $user->save(); // Assign the Role to the User $user->roles()->sync(array($role->id)); // Using the public methods available on the User object var_dump($user->is('Moderator')); // true var_dump($user->is('Admin')); // false var_dump($user->can('delete_user')); // true var_dump($user->can('add_user')); // false var_dump($user->level(7)); // true var_dump($user->level(5, '<=')); // false
