Requirements

• Version 2.x of this package requires PHP 7.2+ and Laravel 6.0+
• Version 1.x requires PHP 5.6+ and Laravel 5.0+

Getting Started

Install the package using composer

composer require kodeine/laravel-acl

If you need to support Laravel 5.x, make sure to install version 1.x

composer require kodeine/laravel-acl "^1.0"

1. If you are using Laravel before version 5.4, manually register the service provider in your config/app.php file

'providers' => [
    'Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider',
    'Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider',
    ...
    'Kodeine\Acl\AclServiceProvider',
],

1. Publish the package configuartion files and add your own models to the list of ACL models"

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Kodeine\Acl\AclServiceProvider"

Once you publish, it publishes the configuration file where you can:

• Use your own models: Define your own models which should extend to Acl models.
• Use your own guard: Define a guard other than laravel default for user recovery.

1. Add the middleware to your app/Http/Kernel.php.

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    ....
    'acl' => 'Kodeine\Acl\Middleware\HasPermission',
];

1. Add the HasRole trait to your User model.

use Kodeine\Acl\Traits\HasRole;

class User extends Model implements AuthenticatableContract, CanResetPasswordContract
{
    use Authenticatable, CanResetPassword, HasRole;
}

1. Run the migrations to generate your roles and permissions tables

Please note that if you are upgrading to 6.0 from a previous version, the default column type for the id on the users table has changed. On certain databases foreign keys can only be defined with matching column types. As such, you will need to change the id column on your users table to bigInteger in to user this package.

php artisan migrate
