Takes care of the authorization and sets the roles and permissions for the user and consumer. Depends on the [iMemento JWT](https://gitlab.com/imemento/composer/packages/jwt) package for JWT related tasks. Decrypting the tokens happens in the JWT package.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require imemento/guard-laravel
```

The package uses Service Discovery. Still, if necessary, you can add the service to `config/app.php`:

```
iMemento\Guard\Laravel\AuthServiceProvider::class,
```

In `config/auth.php` add a guard with *jwt* as the driver:

```
'api' => [
	'driver' 	=> 'jwt',
	'provider' 	=> 'users',
],
```

In `config/auth.php` add a user provider with *static* as the driver. The model needs to be an instance of `iMemento\SDK\Auth\User::class` or an extension of it.

```
'users' => [
	'driver' 	=> 'static',
	'model' 	=> iMemento\SDK\Auth\User::class,
],
```

Dependencies
------------

[](#dependencies)

Since this package handles multiple operations in order to achieve the desired results, the following `.env` variables should be properly defined:

```
AUTH_KEY=
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To use the JWT Guard for all the routes in your `routes/api.php` file you just need to add it to the `api` middleware group in `app/Http/Kernel.php`.

```
'api' => [
	'throttle:60,1',
	'bindings',
	'auth:api', #this
],
```

If your API exposes public endpoints, the ones that should be guarded by the JWT Guard should be specifically grouped:

```
	Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth:api'], function ()) {
		//...
	}
```

Authenticated user
------------------

[](#authenticated-user)

Once the Guard has been applied, the app will have access to an authenticated user through `auth()->user()`.

The following fields are added to the current user and can be used in the application's policies.

```
{
  "id": 13,
  "agency_id": 2,
  "roles": ["admin"],
  "consumer_roles": ["user"],
  "permissions": ["read","write"]
}
```

The fields *id*, *agency\_id* can be null, *roles* can be empty.
