Auth Component extends the functionality of Illuminate\Auth with the extra functionality to retrieve users' role. This is important when we want to manage application Access Control List (ACL).

To install through composer, simply put the following in your composer.json file:

{
	"require": {
		"orchestra/auth": "~3.0"
	}
}

And then run composer install from the terminal.

Above installation can also be simplify by using the following command:

composer require "orchestra/auth=~3.0"

Next replace Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider with the following service provider in config/app.php.

'providers' => [

	// ...

	Orchestra\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class,
	Orchestra\Authorization\AuthorizationServiceProvider::class,
	Orchestra\Memory\MemoryServiceProvider::class,

	Orchestra\Auth\CommandServiceProvider::class,
	Orchestra\Memory\CommandServiceProvider::class,
],

CommandServiceProvider are optional, useful for interaction using the Artisan command line tool.

To make development easier, you could add Orchestra\Support\Facades\ACL alias for easier reference:

'aliases' => [

	'ACL' => Orchestra\Support\Facades\ACL::class,

],
