Impersonate package for Laravel.
================================

[](#impersonate-package-for-laravel)

Flexible impersonating Laravel package.

stage 1
-------

[](#stage-1)

first of all pull the package through Composer.

```
composer require devmi/impersonate
```

Next, if you're using older Laravel version than 5.5, include the service provider within your `config/app.php` file. (otherwise ignore this step)

```
'providers' => [
    Devmi\Impersonate\ImpersonateServiceProvider::class,
];
```

Stage 2
-------

[](#stage-2)

Add the middleware to `App\Http\Middleware\Kernel.php`

```
protected $middlewareGroups = [
    ...
    \Devmi\Impersonate\Middleware\Impersonate::class,
]
```

Stage 3
-------

[](#stage-3)

Public the configuration so you can custom this package depending on your needs.

```
php artisan vendor:publich --tag=impersonate

```

The file generated would be found under `config/impersonate.php`

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

You can visit `http://your-domain/admin/impersonate`.

Enter the user email address you want to impersonate and you're done.

### Note

[](#note)

> `@impersonating` blade directive is already provided so you can display `stop impersonating` button to quit the impersonation.

> Hit `route('impersonate.destroy')` to destroy your impersonation session.

That's it.
