#Privileges
This is a small role-permission integration for laravel projects. I know Entrust exists but i wanted to try it myself.
##Installation Download the package into the vendor folder
composer require matthc/privileges
Add the Service Provider to config/app.php
...
MatthC\Privileges\PrivilegeServiceProvider::class,
...publish files
$ php artisan vendor:publish
Run the migrations
$ php artisan migrate
Adjust the settings in config/privileges.php and run the following commands to add the roles and permissions you want.
$ php artisan privileges:db:seed
If you want to add users with specific roles, run the following command:
$ php artisan privileges:db:users
Add the trait to the usermodel
use MatthC\Privileges\Traits\PrivilegeUserTrait;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use PrivilegeUserTrait;
...
}##Usage
###User has role To check if a user has a specific role:
//one role
$user->hasRole('admin'); //returns true/false
//multiple roles
$user->hasRole(['admin', 'author']); //returns true if the user has one of these roles
//user must have all roles
$user->hasRole(['admin', 'author'], true);###User has permission To check if a user has a specific permission:
//one permission
$user->can('create_post');
//multiple permissions
$user->can(['create_post', 'update_post']);
//all true
$user->can(['create_post', 'update_post'], true);##Middleware You can also use predefined middleware. Add the following lines to the route middleware array in app/Http/kernel.php
protected $routeMiddleware = [
...
'role' => \MatthC\Privileges\Middleware\PrivilegeRoleMiddleware::class,
'permission' => \MatthC\Privileges\Middleware\PrivilegePermissionMiddleware::class,
];Example usage:
Route::group(['middleware' => ['role:admin']], function() {
//add routes
});
