Key Secret Api Authentication extension for Laravel

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

### 1. Require the package

[](#1-require-the-package)

```
composer require black-bits/key-secret-api-authentication
```

### 2. Extend your model (with key and secret fields)

[](#2-extend-your-model-with-key-and-secret-fields)

In our case we want a project model, that has a key and a secret field, for api authentication. Therefore a user can have different projects, each with it's own key-secret pair for authentication. Instead of "extends Model", use "extends KeySecretAuthenticatableModel".

```
class Project extends KeySecretAuthenticatableModel
{
    // ...
}
```

### 3. Configure config/auth.php

[](#3-configure-configauthphp)

Change the guard for api to the following...

```
'guards' => [
    // ...

    'api' => [
        'driver' => 'key_secret',
        'provider' => 'key_secret',
    ],
],
```

... and add a new provider "key\_secret" with reference to your Model

```
'providers' => [
    'users' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => App\User::class,
    ],

    'key_secret' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => App\Project::class,
    ],
],
```

### 4. Modify MiddlewareGroup in App\\Http\\Kernel.php

[](#4-modify-middlewaregroup-in-apphttpkernelphp)

Change the MiddlewareGroup in the Kernel as you would for usage for api\_token. Set the "auth" to "auth:api".

```
protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
       // ...
    ],

    'api' => [
        'auth:api',
        'throttle:60,1',
        'bindings',
    ],
];
```

### 5. Start Using it

[](#5-start-using-it)

In "routes/api.php" create a route and start using it.

```
Route::get('test', function (Request $request) {
    return "hello world - " . $request->user()->name;
});

// Be aware, that "$request->user()->name" will return the property "name" from our Project-Model and not from the referenced User-Model.
```

Add a new Header to your API Call with a key "Authorization" and a value "Bearer xyz". xyz should be replaced with your base64\_encoded key:secret pair.

```
$key    = 'abc'
$secret = '12345'
$token  = base64_encode($key . ':' . $secret);
```

ToDo's
------

[](#todos)

- The token should be refactored to use jwt.
