A list of the tweaks we have made are documented below. App --- [](#app) ### Models [](#models) - Moved the `App\User` model into an appointed `Models` folder (`App\Models`), which we favour the structure of for cleaner code on larger projects - Updates the `User` model to break down the "name" column into "first name" and "last name" - Creates a `Role` model, including relationship to the `User` model ### Controllers [](#controllers) - Updated the Auth controllers to not redirect to `/home` because this route no longer exists - Updated any reference of the `User` model to be `App\Models\User` - Added a `PageController.php` for handling our default index route to take the closure away from the `web.php` routes file ### Providers [](#providers) - Updated the default name of the Laravel Passport cookie - Added a Gate to determine if the user is an admin or not. By default, this option is not used when first running the hga preset - Added a boilerplate for a View Composer Service Provider. Our recommendation is to use the path `App\Http\ViewComposers` when creating any view composer as per the commentary. ### Traits [](#traits) - We have, by default, a number of useful traits that we call on in projects - automating Uuids when they're being used for IDs on models as well as the User ID for models requiring the authenticated user's ID when saving - There's also a handy trait for determining whether a user has a particular role - the naming for this is up for debate as there may be other models beyond the `User` who could possibly be assigned roles in the future Config ------ [](#config) - Default api driver has been updated from 'token' to 'passport' to reflect our dependancy on the Laravel Passport package - Default Mailgun endpoint updated to point to the EU server - Updated to use encrypted sessions and secure session cookies only - **This configuration means any dev work will have to see the website served using [Laravel Valet](https://laravel.com/docs/master/valet) with a secure TLS certificate in place. Running over HTTP will throw a 419 error.** - Updated any reference of the `User` model to be `App\Models\User` Database -------- [](#database) - Updated migrations to reflect the changes on the `User` model - Migrations for the `Role` model and subsequent many-to-many relationship with our `App\Models\User` model - Added a `UsersTableSeeder.php` and a `RolesTableSeeder.php` to get things started - Removed the `UserFactor.php` for the time being Resources --------- [](#resources) - Default JS and SASS files have been updated to HGA standard configurations - Overwrites the default layout structure from Laravel into something more 'us' - Updates to the authentication scaffolding to account for the "first name" and "last name" options on the `User` model, but also to the styling because we don't use Bootstrap. - **This update means you have no reason to run** `php artisan make:auth` Routes ------ [](#routes) - `api.php` has been updated to prefix "v1" to the routes, which is good practice for software to account for when the API evolves over time - `web.php` has been updated to include Laravel's `Auth::routes()` to handle authentication, whilst removing the stock routes created after running `php artisan make:auth` Webpack ------- [](#webpack) - By default, versioning is enabled - Libraries such as VueJS and Axios are extracted to a `vendor.js` file Misc ---- [](#misc) - Includes Laravel Passport middleware for the `$web` array within `App\Http\Kernel.php` - Includes a custom validator `strong_password` to ensure a weak password cannot be used when registering - Additional parameters have been appended to the end of the .env file, including: - A Google Analytics param to hold the track ID, which will pre-populate the areas within the `layouts/app.blade.php` view - Mailgun parameters - Mail parameters - Session secure cookie (for ease of access in case Valet is unavailable to you) - The package.json file has been updated to: - **Remove** - bootstrap - lodash - jquery - popper.js - **Include** - fontawesome-free - es6-promise - sass - sass-loader - vue-template-compiler API Access ---------- [](#api-access) - Our preset ships with Laravel Passport to consume any API created via JavaScript (typically using a VueJS & Axios combination) - By default, we ignore the Passport migrations because we're not requiring such functionality within our applications, but it's good to know it's there - Turning these migrations back on is as simple as commenting out or removing the line `Passport::ignoreMigrations()`, which is in the `register()` method of `AppServiceProvider.php` ### Health Score 21 — LowBetter than 19% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity9 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity38 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 60% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
