Note that the purpose of this package is only to authenticate user credentials. It does not currently, and probably will not in the future, handle user account creation and management. That is more properly the domain of application-level functionality, or at least a separate Aura bundle. Foreword -------- [](#foreword) ### Installation [](#installation) This library requires PHP 8.2 or later, and depends only on [aura/session-interface](https://packagist.org/packages/aura/session-interface) for its shared session contracts. It is installable and autoloadable via Composer as [aura/auth](https://packagist.org/packages/aura/auth). Alternatively, [download a release](https://github.com/auraphp/Aura.Auth/releases) or clone this repository, then require or include its *autoload.php* file. ### Quality [](#quality) [![Scrutinizer Code Quality](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b181b9c9722ef21f64171bbba9cdc69149fb33fd5e815c2c42717ec8149f9a80/68747470733a2f2f7363727574696e697a65722d63692e636f6d2f672f617572617068702f417572612e417574682f6261646765732f7175616c6974792d73636f72652e706e673f623d362e78)](https://scrutinizer-ci.com/g/auraphp/Aura.Auth/)[![Continuous Integration](https://github.com/auraphp/Aura.Auth/actions/workflows/continuous-integration.yml/badge.svg?branch=6.x)](https://github.com/auraphp/Aura.Auth/actions/workflows/continuous-integration.yml) To run the unit tests at the command line, issue `composer install` and then `vendor/bin/phpunit` at the package root. This requires [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) to be available as `composer`.
