Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

This package requires **PHP 7.1+** and **Laravel 5.5+**.

Lumen is not supported!

#### Version information

[](#version-information)

VersionIlluminateStatusPHP Version1.05.5 - 5.7Active support>= 7.1.0### Installation

[](#installation)

First, you need to install the package via Composer:

```
composer require cyrildewit/laravel-silent-authentication
```

You can optionally publish the config file with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="CyrildeWit\LaravelSilentAuthentication\SilentAuthenticationServiceProvider" --tag="config"
```

#### Register service provider manually

[](#register-service-provider-manually)

If you prefer to register packages manually, you can add the following provider to your application's providers list.

```
// config/app.php

'providers' => [
    // ...
    CyrildeWit\LaravelSilentAuthentication\SilentAuthenticationServiceProvider::class,
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Default setup

[](#default-setup)

This package will overwrite the default `SessionGuard` by default. The customized session guard uses the `SilentAuthentication` trait which will allow you silently authenticate users.

If you're not interesting in this default or if it's breaking your application, you can disable it in the config file.

### SilentAuthentication trait

[](#silentauthentication-trait)

If you're already overwriting the default `SessionGuard` in your application, you can simply implement the `SilentAuthentication` trait.

```
use Illuminate\Auth\SessionGuard as BaseSessionGuard;
use CyrildeWit\LaravelSilentAuthentication\Guards\Traits\SilentAuthentication;

class SessionGuard extends BaseSessionGuard
{
    use SilentAuthentication;
}
```
