README

This package provides migrations and middleware for locking access to the API where the app version has been blacklisted.

Pulling in with composer:

1. Install the package: composer require e3creative/api-force-app-update

Customisation

The error message given by the middleware is customisable in config/api-force-app-update.php if you publish the package's config file: php artisan vendor:publish

How to Use

1. Add the middleware to the $routeMiddleware property of your app/Http/Kernel.php:

   /**
    * The application's route middleware.
    *
    * These middleware may be assigned to groups or used individually.
    *
    * @var array
    */
   protected $routeMiddleware = [
    ...,
    'force_app_update' => \E3Creative\ApiForceAppUpdate\Middleware\ForceUpdate::class,
   ];
   

2. Add the middleware to the routes you want to protect, or to the api middleware group in Kernel.php if you want it to be applied univerally to the api routes.

Route::resource('users', 'UserController')->middleware('force_app_update');

1. Run the new migrations with php artisan migrate
2. Blacklist versions by adding them into your blacklisted_versions table
