pseudo
Guest user library for Laravel
Description
pseudo adds the ability for guests permissions within Laravel's authentication functionality.
Installation
Include through composer
composer require agilesdesign/pseudo
Add to provider list
'providers' => [
Pseudo\Providers\PseudoServiceProvider::class,
];
Overview
Comparison to default Laravel behavior
Auth::check() // true if User false if Pseudo/Contracts/GuestContract
Auth::user() // returns instance of Pseudo/Contracts/GuestContract instead of null if no user found
@can() // no longer automatically fails if not authenticated, allows Gate to be checked
Usage
Out of the box this library does not require any additional configuration.
An instance of Pseudo\Auth\Guest
is resolved from Laravel's Service Container when Pseudo/Contracts/GuestContract
is requested.
This binding is registered in the supplied ServiceProvider:
public function register()
{
$this->app->bind(GuestContract::class, Guest::class);
}
Policy checks can still be type-hinted for Laravel's App\User
since Pseudo\Auth\Guest
extends it.
Example
Gate::define('create-article', function ($user, $article) {
if($user instanceof Pseudo\Auth\Guest)
{
// logic for guest
}
else
{
// logic for authenticated
}
});
