1. [Installation](#installation)
2. [Basic usage](#basic-usage)
3. [Middleware](#middleware)

\##Installation

Add on your composer.json

```
    "require": {
        "distilleries/permission-util": "1.*",
    }
```

run `composer update`.

Add Service provider to `config/app.php`:

```
    'providers' => [
        // ...
       'Distilleries\PermissionUtil\PermissionUtilServiceProvider',
    ]
```

And Facade (also in `config/app.php`)

```
    'aliases' => [
        // ...
        'PermissionUtil'   => 'Distilleries\PermissionUtil\Facades\PermissionUtil',
    ]
```

Export the configuration:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Distilleries\PermissionUtil\PermissionUtilProvider"

```

\###Basic usage To check the permission, I use the `auth` of your application. On your model use for the Auth implement the interface `Distilleries\PermissionUtil\Contracts\PermissionUtilContract` add the method `hasAccess` to define if the user have access or not. The key in param is a string action like `UserController@getEdit`.

```
    public function hasAccess($key)
    {
        return true;
    }
```

If the user is connected and your model haven't this method the class return true. If the user is not connected the permission util return false. To disabled the restriction of connected user just go in config file and put false in `auth_restricted`.

You can use the facade to detect if the user can access or not:

MethodCallDescription`hasAccess``PermissionUtil::hasAccess('Controller@action')`Return if the user can access to this action\##Middleware The package provide a middleware to detect automatically if the user can access to a method of a controller. To active it just add on your `app/Http/Kernel`:

```
    protected $routeMiddleware = [
        //...
		'permission' => 'Distilleries\PermissionUtil\Http\Middleware\CheckAccessPermission',
	];
```

And on your controller or your route add the middleware:

```
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('permission');

    }
```

If the user can access to an action that dispatch a 403
