Alnus
=====

[](#alnus)

Alnus is a library to add roles and permissions to a Laravel project and is built to work alongside Laravel's Gate system. Alnus hill is a reference to something called, wait for it... [Gate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_(novel_series)).

### Quick Installation

[](#quick-installation)

Composer is the best way to install Alnus.

```
composer require defrostedtuna/alnus

```

Otherwise you could just place it in your `composer.json` file.

```
"require": {
    "defrostedtuna/alnus": "^1.0"
},
```

### Service Provider

[](#service-provider)

After installing, you must place the service provider into `config/app.php`

```
'providers' => [

    // Lots of providers here

    DefrostedTuna\Alnus\AlnusServiceProvider::class,

    // Some other jargon afterwards

],
```

### Migrations

[](#migrations)

Migrations have been made to incorporate this into an application out of the box. Simply run `php artisan migrate` to have the migration tables created.

**Note:** By default, Alnus is set to migrate a **uuid** field as a foreign key in reference to the *users* table.

Personally, I use the package `webpatser/laravel-uuid` for this matter. [Here is a very good article on implementing uuids into a Laravel project](https://medium.com/@steveazz/setting-up-uuids-in-laravel-5-552412db2088#.ytme0xw00).

### Trait

[](#trait)

To finish setup, attach the `RolesAndPermissions` trait onto your user model.
