Installation

This package can be easily installed as a private composer package. See below for details and docs.

Laravel 5.4

  1. Create a folder named packages in your Laravel project directory, and clone the repository into that folder:
cd <project-root-directory>
mkdir packages && cd packages
git clone git@github.com:whitesunrise/guardian.git
  1. Add the cloned repository to your project's composer.json file in the autoload section like so:
"autoload": {
    "classmap": [
        "database"
    ],
    "psr-4": {
        "App\\": "app/",
        "WhiteSunrise\\Guardian\\": "packages/whitesunri/whitesunri/src/"
    }
},
  1. Clear composer and artisan autoload from your project root:
composer dumpautoload && php artisan clear-compiled
  1. Open your config/app.php and add the following to the providers array:
WhiteSunrise\Guardian\GuardianServiceProvider::class,
  1. In the same config/app.php and add the following to the aliases array:
'Guardian' =>  WhiteSunrise\Guardian\Facades\GuardianFacade::class,
  1. Publish the package configuration file to config/guardian.php:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="WhiteSunrise\Guardian\GuardianServiceProvider" --tag=config
  1. Open your config/auth.php and make the following 3 changes for the Admin User class:

    1. In the providers array:

      'providers' => [
          'users' => [
              'driver' => 'eloquent',
              'model' => App\Models\User::class,
          ],
          'admins' => [
              'driver' => 'eloquent',
              'model' => App\Models\AdminUser::class,
          ],
      ],
      
    2. In the guards array:

      'guards' => [
          'web' => [
              'driver' => 'session',
              'provider' => 'users',
          ],
          'web_admin' => [
              'driver' => 'session',
              'provider' => 'admins',
          ],
      
          'api' => [
              'driver' => 'token',
              'provider' => 'users',
          ],
      ],
      
    3. In the passwords array:

      'passwords' => [
          'users' => [
              'provider' => 'users',
              'table' => 'password_resets',
              'expire' => 60,
          ],
          'admins' => [
              'provider' => 'admins',
              'table' => 'admin_password_resets',
              'expire' => 60,
          ],
      ],
      
  2. If you want to use Middleware (requires Laravel 5.1 or later. you also need to add the following to the routeMiddleware array in app/Http/Kernel.php:

'role' => \WhiteSunrise\Guardian\Middleware\GuardianRole::class,
'permission' => \WhiteSunrise\Guardian\Middleware\GuardianPermission::class,
'ability' => \WhiteSunrise\Guardian\Middleware\GuardianAbility::class,

Configuration

Set the proper values in the config/auth.php.

To further customize table names and model namespaces, edit the config/guardian.php configuration file.

Users

Guardian uses the app/Models directory for storing models. If you used [Laravel's Authentication Quickstart](https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/authentication#authentication-quickstart. to generate your User model and controllers, make sure you update the values in your config file.

  1. Generate the Guardian migrations:
php artisan whitesunrise:guardian:make:migration all

This will generate the <timestamp>_guardian_create_roles_tables.php and <timestamp>_guardian_create_permissions_tables.php migrations. Now you can run the migration(s.:

php artisan migrate

After the migration, five new tables will be present:

  1. roles - stores role records
  2. permissions - stores permission records
  3. role_users - stores [many-to-many](http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/eloquent#many-to-many. relations between roles and users
  4. role_admin_users - stores [many-to-many](http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/eloquent#many-to-many. relations between roles and admin users
  5. permission_roles - stores [many-to-many](http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/eloquent#many-to-many. relations between roles and permissions

Models

Role

Generate the new Role model inside app/models/Role.php by running:

artisan whitesunrise:guardian:make:model role

The Role model is used for both the User and AdminUser models. Both have pivot tables to keep user data separate. Role model has four main attributes:

  • name - Unique human readable name for the Role. For example: "User Administrator", "Project Owner", "Widget Co. Employee".
  • slug - Unique name for the Role, used for looking up role information in the application layer. For example: "admin", "owner", "employee".
  • description - A more detailed explanation of what the Role does. This field is optional.
  • parent_id - Optional field to inherit permissions from another role.

Both parent_id and description are optional; their fields are nullable in the database.

Alternatively, you may use an existing Role model instead by extending the GuardianRole class, shown below.


namespace App\Models;

use WhiteSunrise\Guardian\Models\GuardianRole;

class Role extends GuardianRole
{
}

Permission

Generate the new Permission model inside app/models/Permission.php by running:

artisan whitesunrise:guardian:make:model permission

The Permission model has three main attributes:

  • name - Unique human readable name for the permission. For example "Create Posts", "Edit Users", "Post Payments", "Subscribe to mailing list".
  • slug - Unique name for the permission, used for looking up permission information in the application layer. For example: "create-post", "edit-user", "post-payment", "mailing-list-subscribe".
  • description - A more detailed explanation of the Permission.

In general, it may be helpful to think of the last two attributes in the form of a sentence: "The permission name allows a user to description."

Alternatively, you may use an existing Permission model instead by extending the GuardianPermission class, shown below.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use WhiteSunrise\Guardian\Models\GuardianPermission;

class Permission extends GuardianPermission
{
}

User

Next, use the GuardianUserTrait trait in your existing User model. For example:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use WhiteSunrise\Guardian\Traits\GuardianUserTrait;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;
    use GuardianUserTrait;

    // continued...
}

This will enable the relation with Role and add the following methods to the User model:

  1. roles()
  2. hasRole($roleSlug, $requireAll = false) - accepts either a string or an array of roles to check
  3. can($permissionSlug, $requireAll = false) - accepts either a string or an array of permissions to check
  4. ability($roles, $permissions, $options) - more advanced role and permission checking
  5. attachRoles($role)
  6. detachRoles($role)
  7. withoutRoles($roles) static method that returns the users WITHOUT the specified roles
  8. withRoles($roles) static method that returns the users WITH the specified roles

Admin User

Next, use the GuardianAdminUserTrait trait in your existing AdminUser model. For example:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use WhiteSunrise\Guardian\Traits\GuardianAdminUserTrait;

class AdminUser extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;
    use GuardianAdminUserTrait;

    // continued...
}

This will enable the relation with Role and add the following methods to the User model:

  1. roles()
  2. hasRole($roleSlug, $requireAll = false) - accepts either a string or an array of roles to check
  3. can($permissionSlug, $requireAll = false) - accepts either a string or an array of permissions to check
  4. ability($roles, $permissions, $options) - more advanced role and permission checking
  5. attachRoles($role)
  6. detachRoles($role)
  7. withoutRoles($roles) static method that returns the users WITHOUT the specified roles
  8. withRoles($roles) static method that returns the users WITH the specified roles

Don't forget to dump composer autoload:

composer dump-autoload

Seeders

  1. Generate the seeder files: artisan whitesunrise:guardian:make:seeder

  2. Add the seeders to your DatabaseSeeder class:

    $this->call(GuardianRolesTableSeeder::class);
    
  1. Generate the seeder files: artisan whitesunrise:guardian:make:seeder

  2. Add the following to your DatabaseSeeder class: $this->call(GuardianRolesTableSeeder::class); or run artisan db:seed --class=GuardianRolesTableSeeder

  3. Add the following to your DatabaseSeeder class: $this->call(GuardianPermissionsTableSeeder::class); or run artisan db:seed --class=GuardianPermissionsTableSeeder

Usage

Concepts

You can generate any of the following models using the artisan commands: User, AdminUser, Role, and Permission

  • Generate all the models: artisan whitesunrise:guardian:make:model all
  • Generate a specific model: artisan whitesunrise:guardian:make:model <user|admin_user|role|permission>

  1. Generate the seeder files: artisan whitesunrise:guardian:make:seeder

  2. Add the following to your DatabaseSeeder class: $this->call(GuardianRolesTableSeeder::class); or run artisan db:seed --class=GuardianRolesTableSeeder

  3. Add the following to your DatabaseSeeder class: $this->call(GuardianPermissionsTableSeeder::class); or run artisan db:seed --class=GuardianPermissionsTableSeeder

  4. (Optionally) Add the Facade to your aliases in config/app.php:

    'Guardian' => WhiteSunrise\Guardian\Facades\GuardianFacade::class,
    
  5. (Optionally) Generate the models: artisan whitesunrise:guardian:make:model

  6. Use the GuardianUserTrait in your User model:

    <?php
    
    use WhiteSunrise\Guardian\Traits\GuardianUserTrait;
    
    class User extends Eloquent
    {
        use GuardianUserTrait; // add this trait to your user model
    
        ...
    }
