Install on Backpack v4.1 (Laravel 6 or Laravel 7)

1. In your terminal:

composer require momenoor/backpackusermanager

1. Add Backpack's CrudTrait on your User model:

By default: app/User.php

namespace App;

class BackpackUser extends User
{
    use \Backpack\CRUD\app\Models\Traits\CrudTrait; // <--- Add this line

    // ...

1. [Optional] If your User model is NOT App\User::class or your users table is not users, you should publish this package's config file and correct those assumptions in the config/momenoor/usermanager.php file. To publish file, run:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Momenoor\UserManager\UserManagerServiceProvider" --tag='config'

1. [Optional] Add a sidebar link

php artisan backpack:add-sidebar-content "<li class='nav-item'><a class='nav-link' href='{{ backpack_url('user') }}'><i class='nav-icon la la-user'></i> <span>Users</span></a></li>"

(alternatively, manually add an item in resources/views/vendor/backpack/base/inc/sidebar_content.blade.php or menu.blade.php)

Install on Backpack v4.0 (Laravel 6 or Laravel 7)

1. In your terminal:

composer require momenoor/backpackusermanager

1. Add Backpack's CrudTrait on your User model:

By default: app/Models/BackpackUser.php

namespace App\Models;

use App\User;
use Backpack\CRUD\app\Models\Traits\InheritsRelationsFromParentModel;
use Backpack\CRUD\app\Notifications\ResetPasswordNotification as ResetPasswordNotification;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Backpack\CRUD\app\Models\Traits\CrudTrait; <--- Add this line

class BackpackUser extends User
{
    use InheritsRelationsFromParentModel;
    use Notifiable;
    use CrudTrait; <--- Add this line

    ...

1. [Optional] Add a sidebar link

php artisan backpack:add-sidebar-content "<li class='nav-item'><a class='nav-link' href='{{ backpack_url('user') }}'><i class='nav-icon fa fa-user'></i> <span>Users</span></a></li>"

(alternatively, manually add an item in resources/views/vendor/backpack/base/inc/sidebar_content.blade.php or menu.blade.php)

Install on Backpack v3 (Laravel 5)

1. In your terminal:

composer require momenoor/backpackusermanager

1. For Laravel <5.5, add the service provider to your config/app.php file:

Momenoor\UserManager\UserManagerServiceProvider::class,

1. Use the following traits on your User model:

<?php namespace App;

use Backpack\CRUD\CrudTrait; // <------------------------------- this one
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use CrudTrait; // <----- this

    /**
     * Your User Model content
     */

1. [Optional] Add a menu item for it:

php artisan backpack:base:add-sidebar-content "<li><a href='{{ backpack_url('user') }}'><i class='fa fa-user'></i> <span>Users</span></a></li>"

(alternatively, manually add an item in resources/views/vendor/backpack/base/inc/sidebar_content.blade.php or menu.blade.php)

How to extend this package

When you need more control on your user model, the best way is copying the code.

You can even make your own CRUD controller with php artisan backpack:crud user and simply add handlePasswordInput addFields methods in src/app/Http/Controllers/UserCrudController. See code

To copy source code into your project

Go to vendor/momenoor/usermanager/src and copy:

• Route: routes/momenoor/usermanager.php in your routes/web.php file

• Controller app/Http/Controllers/UserCrudController.php inside your app/Http/Controllers folder

• Requests app/Http/Requests/* inside your app/Http/Controllers folder

• In UserCrudController set the model, example:

  $this->crud->setModel('App\User'));

• In every file, replace my namespace Momenoor\UserManager\app\Http\Requests for App\Http\Requests

Now you can remove the package with composer:

composer remove eduardoarandah/usermanager

Upgrade from Backpack 4.0 to 4.1

To successfully use this package after you upgrade your project from Backpack 4.0 to Backpack 4.1, you need to:

• require version ^3.0 of this package by changing your composer.json file or running composer require momenoor/usermanager:"^3.0";
• (most likely) change the user model in the usermanager config file from App\Models\BackpackUser::class to App\User::class;
• (less likely) if you've extended the UserCrudController in this package and you've modified the handlePasswordInput() function, you also need to take account that the crud request in now fetched using setters and getters instead of directly as a property; take a closer look at Step 11 in the Backpack 4.1 upgrade guide, or look at the new code in this package for inspiration;
