Simple auth

A simple authentication driver, which makes it possible to define one or more users in the app.config file. This is great for mockup projects or when you don't have/need a database. This library extends the original Laravel auth drivers, so it uses exactly the same methods.

Installation

Install using composer:

composer require cedricve/simpleauth

Add the service provider in app/config/app.php:

'Cedricve\Simpleauth\SimpleauthServiceProvider',

The service provider will register a extension with the original auth manager. There is no need to register additional facades or objects.

Configuration

Change your default database connection name in app/config/auth.php:

'driver' => 'simple'

And add a new property to the app/config/app.php file:

'users' => [
    [
        "id" => 1,
        "username" => "root",
        "password" => "root",
        "firstname" => "Cédric",
        "secondname" => "Verstraeten"
        ...
    ],
    [
        "id" => 2,
        "username" => "root2",
        "password" => "root",
        "firstname" => "Cédric",
        "secondname" => "Verstraeten"
        ...
    ]
],

Examples

You can use the default Auth methods.

Basic Usage

Try to signin

Auth::attempt(['username' => 'root', 'password' => 'root'))

Retrieving the user that signed in
