It's useful for websites in a staging state. [![Screenshot](screenshot.png)](screenshot.png) Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Install with composer [](#install-with-composer) ``` composer require code16/privat ``` ### Configure Privat via .env keys [](#configure-privat-via-env-keys) ``` PRIVAT_ENABLED=true PRIVAT_PASSWORD=mypassword ``` Advanced usage -------------- [](#advanced-usage) ### Choose impacted middleware groups [](#choose-impacted-middleware-groups) By default, Privat will protect the `web` middleware group. If you want to impact other groups, you can tweak the corresponding .env key: ``` PRIVAT_MIDDLEWARE_GROUP=web,admin ``` ### Handle exceptions [](#handle-exceptions) You can exclude some hosts or URLs from Privat: ``` PRIVAT_EXCEPTED_URLS="/login,/admin" PRIVAT_EXCEPTED_HOSTS="admin.mywebsite.com" ``` ### Waiting page [](#waiting-page) If you need to present a public waiting page, set the waiting page view name in the `PRIVAT_WAITING_VIEW` env key: ``` PRIVAT_WAITING_VIEW="demo.waiting" ``` From then, all requests without the Privat registration will be redirected to `/privat_waiting` which will render the configured view, except `/privat`, which will still present the Privat form. ### Publish the config file [](#publish-the-config-file) Of course, you can publish the config file instead of using env variables (even if we think it’s more convenient for such a tool): ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Code16\Privat\PrivatServiceProvider" ``` How does it work ---------------- [](#how-does-it-work) Quite simple: if the given password is correct, Privat sets a session property, and look for it on each request. So, obviously, Privat won't work on non session based systems (an API for instance).
