Permiso

---

A simple Laravel 5 package for Role-based permissions.

Instalation

1. Add to composer.json

In the require key of composer.json file add the following:

"ricardoriogo/permiso": "dev-master"

Run composer update command.

$ composer update

2. Register Service Provider

In config/app.php add Riogo\Permiso\PermisoServiceProvider to the end of $providers array.

    'providers' => array(
		'App\Providers\EventServiceProvider',
		'App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider',
        ...
        'Riogo\Permiso\PermisoServiceProvider',
    ),

3. Change Auth configuration

In config/auth.php change the driver configuration to permiso. Permiso will use App\User model by default. You will need to change model configuration on config/auth.php if you're using another model for authentication.

4. Add UserRoleTrait to your auth model

In your auth model add the UserRoleTrait trait. By default App\User is the model used for authentication.

    class User extends Model implements AuthenticatableContract, CanResetPasswordContract {
        
        use Riogo\Permiso\UserRolesTrait
        ...
    }    

5. Run Migrations

To create the migration file for roles and permissions tables use the command:

$ php artisan permiso:migration

This will create a migration file on database/migrations. Then use migrate command.

$ php artisan migrate

How to use

Permiso extends Auth class capabilities for checking if authenticated user have especific roles or permissions.

Checking for a Role

To check for a role you have to use hasRole() method.

    if (Auth::hasRole('admin')) {
        // Actions for this Role
    }

You can use the alias method is() too.

     if (Auth::is('admin')) {
        // Actions for this Role
     }

Checking for multiple Roles

It's possible check for multiple roles, passing an array with the roles or a string with comma separated values.

    // Using an array
    if (Auth::hasRole(['admin', 'member'])) {
        // Actions for this Roles
    }
    
    // Same result with string
    if (Auth::hasRole('admin, member')) {
        // Actions for this Roles
    }

It will return true if user have one or more of this roles.

If you want to check if user have all roles use the method checkAll() before hasRole().

    // Will return true if user have admin and member roles.
    if (Auth::checkAll()->hasRole(['admin', 'member'])) {
        // Actions for this Roles
    }

Checking for a Permission

All uses of role are applicable in permissions using hasPermission() ou your alias can().

    if (Auth::hasPermission('users.list')) {
        // Actions for this Permission
    }
    
    if (Auth::checkAll()->can('users.delete, users.create')) {
        // Actions for this Permissions
    }

Variant of is() method

For check one role it's possible to use a variant of is(), it use a magic method to define a role to check. See the examples:

• Auth::isAdmin() will return true if user have admin role.
• Auth::isMember() will return true if user have member role.
• Auth::isRoleWithLongName() will return true if user have role_with_long_name role.
