CakePHP plugin for generating various (secure) tokens.

[![Abandoned repository](./abandoned-repo.png "This repository is no longer maintained.")](./abandoned-repo.png)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- CakePHP 3.+

> PHP 5.x users are strongly advised to install the [paragonie/random\_compat](https://github.com/paragonie/random_compat)polyfill composer package to ensure generated tokens are truly secure.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Install the plugin using composer:

    ```
    composer require alt3/cakephp-tokens:1.0.x-dev
    ```
2. To enable the plugin either run the following command:

    ```
    bin/cake plugin load Alt3/CakeTokens
    ```

    or manually add the following line to your `config/bootstrap.php` file:

    ```
    Plugin::load('Alt3/CakeTokens');
    ```
3. Create the required table used to store the tokens by running:

    ```
    bin/cake migrations migrate --plugin Alt3/CakeTokens
    ```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Inside your controller:

```
use Alt3\Tokens\RandomBytesToken

public function test() {

  // create a token object
  $token = new RandomBytesToken();
  $token->setCategory('password-reset');
  $token->setLifetime('+1 week');

  // save the token object
  $table = TableRegistry::get('Alt3/CakeTokens.Tokens');
  $entity = $table->newEntity($token->toArray());

  if ($table->save($entity)) {
    pr('Successfully saved token with id ' . $entity->id);
  }
}
```

> Visit [alt3/tokens](https://github.com/alt3/tokens) for more information about creating the token object and creating your own token-specific Adapters.

Methods
-------

[](#methods)

The `TokensTable` comes with the following methods:

- `setStatus($id, $status)`: set the status for token with id
- `deleteAllExpired()`: deletes all tokens that have expires
- `deleteAllWithStatus($status)`: deletes all tokens matching given status

Custom Finders
--------------

[](#custom-finders)

The `TokensTable` comes with the following custom finders:

- `findValidToken`: true when given token value (must be passed)exists, has status 0 and has not expired
- `findAllActive`: returns all tokens with status 0
