README

This will add a simple password form in front of your application to protected it from any access. The password is specified using the .env file. You can protect development or staging sites.

Also, since the request code is configurable, you can enjoy this package without health check errors if your application is behind Elastic Beanstalk.

You can define multiple passwords.

Installation

composer require gorankrgovic/laravel-access-protect

Laravel >= 5.5

You don't need to add this package to your app/config/app.php since it supports auto discovery.

Add Middleware

Add Middleware to app/Http/Kernel.php or specific routes you want to protect.

protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        ...
        \Gox\Laravel\Http\Middleware\AccessProtect::class,
    ],
    ...
];

Configuration

Add your password to .env. You can use multiple passwords separated by comma.

ACCESS_PROTECT_PASSWORDS=pass1,pass2

To revoke access to your site simply change the password. This requires every user using the old password to re-enter a password.

Customization

You can modify the view that handles password entry by publishing the views to your resource folder.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Gox\Laravel\AccessProtect\Provides\AccessProtectServiceProvider" --tag=views

and config

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Gox\Laravel\AccessProtect\Provides\AccessProtectServiceProvider" --tag=config

That's it...
