Laravel Simple ACL

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Laravel 11+

Installation

{
    "require": {
        "rodrigopedra/laravel-simple-acl": "^2.0"
    }
}

• Export configuration and set the project's User model class name
  • default is: App\Models\User
• Add \RodrigoPedra\LaravelSimpleACL\Concerns\HasACL trait to the project's User model
• Run migrations
• Optionally load the included Middleware
  • This will load and cache a logged in user's roles and permissions and define a gate to each permission

Usage

Create roles and permissions through the included RodrigoPedra\LaravelSimpleACL\Models\Role and RodrigoPedra\LaravelSimpleACL\Models\Permission Eloquent models.

Permissions are meant to be grouped into a role, you can create a database seeder, or migration for your initial setup, for example:

$addUsers = Permission::create([
    'label' => 'add-users',
    'description' => 'User is allowed to create new users',
    'sort_index' => 1,
]);

$removeUsers = Permission::create([
    'label' => 'remove-users',
    'description' => 'User is allowed to remove users',
    'sort_index' => 2,
]);

Role::create([
    'label' => 'admin',
    'sort_index' => 1,
])->attachPermission($addUsers)->attachPermission($removeUsers);

Role::create([
    'label' => 'leader',
    'sort_index' => 2,
])->attachPermission($addUsers);

You can then add or remove roles to individual users using the included trait's helper methods:

$user->attachRole(Role::hasLabel('admin')->first());
$user->detachRole(Role::hasLabel('leader')->first());

If you add the \RodrigoPedra\LaravelSimpleACL\Http\Middleware\LoadSimpleACL middleware to your middleware stack, you can use Laravel's gate to check for permissions:

if ($user->can('add-users')) {
    // do something
}

Even on blade views

@can('add-users')
    {{-- do something --}}
@endcan
