README

This is a package containing handy utils such as built-in authentication and authorization (Spatie Laravel Permissions), easy model filtering (Filtertable) setup, and easy CRUD API setup (CrudController).

Installation

Proceed to install the package via composer:

composer require cyaoz94/laravel-utilities:^1.0

Usage

CrudController

You can extend our controller in order to use our base functions to speed up your CRUD api development. Just specify the model class in your constructor method and the CRUD methods defined in CrudController will know which model to query for.

// imports
use Cyaoz94\LaravelUtilities\CrudController;

class AdminUserController extends CrudController
{

    public function __construct(Request $request)
    {
        // let specify model class
        $this->modelClass = AdminUser::class;

        parent::__construct($request);
    }
    // your implementation here
}

Filterable

You can also use our Filterable trait so that you can easily implement filtering logic for your controller's CRUD methods.

First, use the trait in your model.

// imports
use Cyaoz94\LaravelUtilities\Filters\Filterable;

class AdminUser extends Authenticatable 
{
    // use Filterable trait
    use HasFactory, Filterable;
}

Define your filter class. Here we will define a name() method to handle filtering for the name column. Take note that the filter key should be always be in snake_case, eg. some_key. The QueryFilter.php class will loop through all the parameters in the request body to see if any matching method names in camelCase are found. Using back our some_key example, the matching function name will be someKey()

namespace Cyaoz94\LaravelUtilities\Filters;

class AdminUserFilter extends QueryFilter
{
    public function name($value)
    {
        parent::like('name', $value);
    }
}

Then in your controller's constructor, specify which filter class to use. Now, name's value submitted in the request body will be used for filtering.

// imports
use Cyaoz94\LaravelUtilities\CrudController;
use Cyaoz94\LaravelUtilities\Filters\AdminUserFilter;

class AdminUserController extends CrudController
{

    public function __construct(Request $request)
    {
        $this->modelClass = AdminUser::class;
        // specify Filter class
        $this->filterClass = AdminUserFilter::class;

        parent::__construct($request);
    }

    // your implementation here
}

In certain scenarios, you will need to override the base functions of CrudController, you can still utilize the Filterable trait by doing the following

class AdminUserController extends CrudController
{
    // an overriding function in the child class
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $query = AdminUser::filter(new AdminUserFilter($request));

        // your implementations
    }
}

Migrations

The migrations of this package are now publishable under the "migrations" tag. It will publish the create_admin_users_table migration in the migrations folder in the database path, prefixed with the current date and time via:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cyaoz94\LaravelUtilities\LaravelUtilitiesServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

Run the migrations to create admin_users table.

php artisan migrate

Spatie Laravel Permission

You can easily integrate spatie laravel permission using our package. You should publish the migration and the config/permission.php config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Permission\PermissionServiceProvider"

Run the migrations to create all related tables.

php artisan migrate

You need to register our middleware in app/Http/Kernel.php file. If you would like to override our middleware, you can create your new middleware and extend ours. Remember to register your middleware in app/Http/Kernel.php.

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    'permission' => \Cyaoz94\LaravelUtilities\PermissionMiddleware::class,
];

You need to add PermissionMiddleware exception handling in app/Exceptions/Handler.php.

namespace App\Exceptions;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;
use Spatie\Permission\Exceptions\UnauthorizedException as SpatieUnauthorizedException;
use Throwable;

class Handler extends ExceptionHandler
{
    public function render($request, Throwable $exception, $message = '')
    {
        if ($exception instanceof SpatieUnauthorizedException) {
            return response()->json(
                [
                    'code' => 401,
                    'error_message' => 'Unauthorized',
                ], 401
            );
        }
    }
}

Use middleware in your routes.

Route::get('', [AdminUserController::class, 'index'])->middleware('permission:admin-user.read');

Seeders

The seeders of this package are now publishable under the "seeders" tag. It will publish the RolePermissionSeeder seeder in the seeders folder in the database path via:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cyaoz94\LaravelUtilities\LaravelUtilitiesServiceProvider" --tag="seeders"

RolePermissionSeeder will seed basic permissions, create superadmin role, grant permissions to superadmin, and create one admin user as superadmin. Run the seeder via:

php artisan db:seed --class=RolePermissionSeeder

In RolePermissionSeeder.php, you can update permissions array according to your system needs. We included some basic one. You can always run this seeder when you added or updated your permissions. It helps to update accordingly.

$permissions = [
    'admin-user.create',
    'admin-user.read',
    'admin-user.update',
    'admin-user.delete',
    'user.create',
    'user.read',
    'user.update',
    'user.delete',
    'role.create',
    'role.read',
    'role.update',
    'role.delete',
];

In RolePermissionSeeder.php and Cyaoz94\LaravelUtilities\Models\AdminUser.php, we defaulted $guardName = 'admin'. You might want to change it to other guard name, example sanctum. You can create your own AdminUser model and extends our model. You need to update the guard name in both RolePermissionsSeedeer.php and AdminUser model.

// database/seeders/RolePermissionSeeder.php

$guardName = 'sanctum';

// app/Models/AdminUser.php

namespace App\Models;

use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
use Cyaoz94\LaravelUtilities\Models\AdminUser as BaseAdminUser;

class AdminUser extends BaseAdminUser
{
    use HasApiTokens;

    protected $guard_name = 'sanctum';
}

Role Features

To use role related features (example RoleController), please register RolePolicy in AuthServiceProvider.

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\AuthServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;
use Spatie\Permission\Models\Role;
use Cyaoz94\LaravelUtilities\Policies\RolePolicy;

class AuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    protected $policies = [
        Role::class => RolePolicy::class,
    ];

    public function boot()
    {
        $this->registerPolicies();
    }
}
