This package protects site from viewing by regular users. Only the ones who know unique token can access site.

**WARNING! This package DOES NOT ensure high level of protection! It is intended to prevent viewing site by regular users. For real authentication use proper package like Laravel Passport.**

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

It requires PHP 7.4+ and Laravel 5.8+.

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

[](#installation)

1. Install package using composer:

```
composer require damianchojnacki/access-token
```

2. Create .env configuration variables:

```
ACCESS_TOKEN=
ACCESS_EXPIRATION=
```

You can specify here your access token and expiration time in minutes (default 1 day).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To make usage easier there is helper middleware that validates token. If it was not found 403 error is thrown.

You can guard whole site by placing middleware into Kernel.php file

```
protected $middleware = [
    \Damianchojnacki\AccessToken\CheckAccessToken::class,
];
```

If you want to guard specific route you can define named middleware:

```
protected $routeMiddleware = [
    'access-token' => \Damianchojnacki\AccessToken\CheckAccessToken::class,
];
```

There is also command for generating new token:

```
php artisan access-token:generate
```

```
[OK] Access token saved to .env file. You can now access your site by visiting url below:

https://example.com?token=3md3Q8sLYNMCVrMvqaw67FSnUvC7d9gN
```
