Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require jeroen-g/guestpass
```

If you run Laravel 5.5, the service provider and facade are autodiscovered. If not then add them manually:

```
JeroenG\GuestPass\GuestPassServiceProvider::class,
// ...
'GuestPass' => JeroenG\GuestPass\GuestPassFacade::class,
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To use Guest Passes, you will need two models: one that is the owner granting guest access (typically a user) and another that is the object to which access is being granted. In the examples below, a photo is used for this.

### Creating new Guest Passes

[](#creating-new-guest-passes)

Requires the owner and object models.

```
GuestPass::create($user, $photo);
```

Returns true if successfull, false otherwise.

### Retrieving Guest Pass data

[](#retrieving-guest-pass-data)

A Guest Pass contains the following data: `owner_model`, `owner_id`; `object_model`, `object_id`; `key` (unique); `view` (nullable).

#### Getting all keys of the owner

[](#getting-all-keys-of-the-owner)

Requires the owner model.

```
GuestPass::getKeysOf($user);
```

Returns a collection of all Guest Pass keys and their corresponding data is attached as well.

#### Finding a Guest Pass for corresponding owner and object

[](#finding-a-guest-pass-for-corresponding-owner-and-object)

Requires the owner and object model.

```
GuestPass::findGuestPass($user, $photo);
```

Returns an Eloquent model (or throws an exception).

#### Get one specific Guest Pass by its key

[](#get-one-specific-guest-pass-by-its-key)

Requires the key (string).

```
GuestPass::getGuestPass($key);
```

Returns an Eloquent model (or throws an exception).

### Checking ownership

[](#checking-ownership)

Requires the owner and Guest Pass models.

```
GuestPass::isOwner($user, $guestpass);
```

Returns true or false.

### Access controller

[](#access-controller)

The package ships with a controller that checks for the `/gp/{owner id}/{key}` route and when valid it returns the view (404 otherwise). Each view is passed the object and the Guest Pass models. The views will be sought in the `resources/views/guests/` directory.

### Custom views

[](#custom-views)

When creating a Guest Pass it is possible to pass a custom view as the third parameter

```
GuestPass::create($user, $photo, 'album');
```

In this case, the access controller will not use `photo.blade.php` (which would be the default) but `album.blade.php` but the directory remains the same and it is not necessary to add the file extension.
