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

[](#installation)

### Composer, Environment, and Service Provider

[](#composer-environment-and-service-provider)

#### Composer

[](#composer)

To install from Composer, use the following command:

```
composer require csun-metalab/laravel-force-https

```

#### Environment

[](#environment)

Now, add the following line(s) to your `.env` file:

```
FORCE_HTTPS=true

```

This will enable the forcing functionality.

#### Service Provider

[](#service-provider)

Add the service provider to your `providers` array in `config/app.php` in Laravel as follows:

```
'providers' => [
   //...

   CSUNMetaLab\ForceHttps\Providers\ForceHttpsServiceProvider::class,

   // You can also use this based on Laravel convention:
   // 'CSUNMetaLab\ForceHttps\Providers\ForceHttpsServiceProvider',

   //...
],

```

### Middleware Installation

[](#middleware-installation)

Add the middleware to your `$middleware` array in `app/Http/Kernel.php` to apply it to all requests the application receives:

```
protected $middleware = [
	//...

	CSUNMetaLab\ForceHttps\Http\Middleware\ForceHttps::class,

	// You can also use this based on Laravel convention:
	// 'CSUNMetaLab\ForceHttps\Http\Middleware\ForceHttps',

	//...
];

```

### Publish Everything

[](#publish-everything)

Finally, run the following Artisan command to publish everything:

```
php artisan vendor:publish

```

The following assets are published:

- Configuration (tagged as `config`) - these go into your `config` directory

Required Environment Variables
------------------------------

[](#required-environment-variables)

You added an environment variable to your `.env` file that controls the protocol the application traffic uses.

### FORCE\_HTTPS

[](#force_https)

Whether to force HTTPS on all URLs or not. Default is `false` to prevent any unexpected issues from forcing HTTPS directly upon installation.

Middleware
----------

[](#middleware)

### Force HTTPS Middleware

[](#force-https-middleware)

This class is namespaced as `CSUNMetaLab\ForceHttps\Http\Middleware\ForceHttps`.

The middleware performs the following steps:

1. Checks to see if the application configuration requests traffic to be forced over HTTPS
2. If so, it performs the following steps:
    1. Resolves the request URI as an absolute URL so it can also see the protocol
    2. Checks to see if the `HTTPS` server variable is a non-empty value or set as `off`
    3. If the protocol isn't already `https:` then it replaces it with `https:` and returns a redirect
3. If not, it passes the request instance to the next configured middleware in the pipeline
