Laravel roles

This package provides a simple and easy way to manage roles in your laravel package.

Installation

1. Install the package via composer:

composer require nietthijmen/laravel-roles

1. Run the install command to publish the configuration file:

php artisan roles:install

1. Grab a cup of coffee and wait for the package to be installed.
2. Add the HasRoles trait to your User model:

use Nietthijmen\LaravelRoles\Traits\HasRoles;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasRoles;

    // ...
}

1. Alias your middleware (if you want to use this)

// bootstrap/app.php
withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        $middleware->alias([
            'role' => \NietThijmen\LaravelRoles\Http\Middleware\RoleMiddleware::class
        ]);
})

1. Add the RoleServiceProvider

// bootstrap/providers.php
<?php

return [
    //...
    \NietThijmen\LaravelRoles\Providers\RoleServiceProvider::class
];
 

1. You're good to go 🎉

Usage

Blade directive

@role('admin')
    <p>You are an admin!</p>
@endrole

Middleware

You can use the middleware to protect your routes:

Route::middleware(['role:admin'])->group(function () {
    Route::get('/admin', function () {
        return 'You are an admin!';
    });
});

Manual usage

auth()->user()->hasRole('admin'); // returns true if the user has the admin role
