column name entity_id and entity _type use?

[JosephSilber]

@orkempire they aren't, because they're not meant to be used directly. Bouncer uses it behind the scenes.

i tried using your example in artisan tinker

\Bouncer::allow('admin')->to('create', Order::class);

and it populates the abilities table like so

 7 | create         |      NULL | App\Order   | 2016-01-26 04:05:31 | 2016-01-26 04:05:31

so the entity type is NULL , is there a way to pass an entity ID? or model id

is it Ok to be NULL? what is the meaning if the entity id is null and also if it has an ID?

[JosephSilber]

It's used when you restrict an ability to a particular model: Bouncer::allow('admin')->to('delete', Order::first());

[masterpowers]

so it pertains to the model instance currently taking...
so for example when a user create a order

$order = new Order;
$order->name = 'name';
$order->save();

then ill use it like so to assign an ability
Bouncer::allow('user')->to('edit', $order);

got it.. but how can i use it to show inside my view?

is there a blade directive? like

@can('edit', $order)
    <a href="/order/{{ $order->id }}/edit">Edit Post</a>
@endcan

so the 'edit' is the ability and the $order at the can is the instance or the selected id in url...

THanks for your answer

[masterpowers]

My understaning now is
this can allow a user to edit all kinds of post id on the Model Post
Bouncer::allow($user)->to('edit', Post::class);

but this one can only edit an specific post....
Bouncer::allow($user)->to('edit', $post);

am i correct?

[JosephSilber]

You are correct. Yes. It's all in the docs. And yes: you can use the @can directive like that.

Dont know if im doing it wrong to Authorize a user using this Bounce Method

Authorizing users
$abilities = $user->getAbilities();
----------------------------------------
Silber\Bouncer\Database\Ability {#734
  id: 9,
  name: "create",
  entity_id: 1,
  entity_type: "App\Order",
  created_at: "2016-01-26 04:23:15",
  updated_at: "2016-01-26 04:23:15",
},
-----------------------------------------
Bouncer::allows($ability);

i tried passing id of the ability and get a return false even if i got that abilities
Bouncer::allows(9);

Am i Doing it wrong, nothing says about this on documentation in Authorizing users

[JosephSilber]

You check abilities by their name, and optionally pass in a model:

$order = Order::find(1);

Bouncer::allows('create', $order);

BTW, this ability of yours doesn't make much sense. Since the order is already created, there's no point in allowing it to be created. But you get the point.

@JosephSilber sorry for reopening this thread, but where are the entity_id, entity_type mentioned in the docs? Could you please provide a link?
