✨ Introduction
--------------

[](#-introduction)

This package provides a middleware for securing access to Nova by requiring a secret key to be provided in the URL.

🔍 How it Works
--------------

[](#-how-it-works)

Once you've set up and configured this package, it works by preventing access to `http://my-website.com/nova`.

If you try to visit that link, you'll see a **"404"** message.

But if you add the secret key at the end of the URL like this: `http://my-website.com/nova/secret`, you'll be able to access the Nova login page.

> This functionality is facilitated through a specific type of cookie working behind the scenes. This cookie validates whether you possess the authorization to access the Nova login page.

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

You can install the package via Composer:

```
composer require dasundev/nova-access-secret
```

Optionally, you can publish the config file using:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="nova-access-secret-config"
```

👩‍💻 Usage
---------

[](#‍-usage)

After installing the package, open the .env file and add the following key with your secret key:

```
NOVA_ACCESS_SECRET_KEY=secret
```

To access Nova, append the secret key to the Nova URL like this:

```
https://my-website.com/nova/secret

```

Now, your Nova access is secured with the provided secret key.

> If you want to disable the secret access, simply keep the NOVA\_ACCESS\_SECRET\_KEY value empty or delete the key from the .env file.

🔐 Enhance Security
------------------

[](#-enhance-security)

To enhance security, you have the option to include your own cookie class through the configuration file.
