Authorizer
==========

[](#authorizer)

A super simple role-based authorization package. The examples here use Eloquent but the library is framework-agnostic.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

`composer require berg/authorizer`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add the use statement for the trait to your user model:

```
use Berg\Authorizer\AuthorizerTrait;

```

This trait requires that the user class has a method named `getRoles()` that will return an array of your role names. You can then access the `is` and `hasAccessTo` methods. Usage:

```
$user->is('admin');

$model = new ModelName($id);
$user->hasAccessTo($model);

```

`is` and `hasAccessTo` both return a boolean value. `hasAccessTo` requires that the model you pass as an argument contains a method `authorize(User $user);`.

### `is(string $roleName)`

[](#isstring-rolename)

Example checking role:

```
if($user->is('admin')) {}

```

### `hasAccessTo(User $user)`

[](#hasaccesstouser-user)

To make a model authorizable, add the `Authorizable` interface to your model. This interface requires you add a single method, `authorize($user)` to your model. Add any required authorization logic in that method and return a boolean value.

```
class Car
{
    public function authorize(User $user)
    {
        return $this->userId === $user->id;
    }
}

$carId = 1;
$car = new Car($carId);
if($user->hasAccessTo($car)) {}

```
