You can use this for password-less applications, or simply to authenticate users from links your application sends (via email, text message etc.). Why this package ---------------- [](#why-this-package) I started to use [laravel-passwordless-login](https://github.com/grosv/laravel-passwordless-login) package by [grosv](https://github.com/grosv) and it worked very well. Unfortunately, because of the redirection, I had some troubles with Google analytics and UTM tracking. I wanted to extend the package, but then realized that there wasn't a trivial solution, as utm tracking parameters should not be used in the context of intenal website navigation. Hence I created this package, which is very strongly inspired by [laravel-passwordless-login](https://github.com/grosv/laravel-passwordless-login). Signed Auth Middleware package allows you to generate signed links that will automatically authenticate your users using a middleware (without any redirect). Unlike [laravel-passwordless-login](https://github.com/grosv/laravel-passwordless-login), this package does not support the `use-once` link feature. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require jhumanj/laravel-signed-auth-middleware ``` You can publish the config file with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-signed-auth-middleware-config" ``` This is the contents of the published config file: ``` return [ 'signature_param_name' => 'auth-signature', 'default_expire' => 60, 'remember_login' => true, 'user_guard' => 'web' ]; ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Setting up middleware [](#setting-up-middleware) The first thing to do is to setup the middleware. The middleware needs to be registered before the auth middleware. You can achieve that by adding the `HasSignedAuth` trait to your `App\Http\Kernel.php` file: ``` use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Kernel as HttpKernel; use JhumanJ\LaravelSignedAuthMiddleware\Traits\HasSignedAuth; class Kernel extends HttpKernel { use HasSignedAuth; // ... public function __construct(Application $app, Router $router) { parent::__construct($app, $router); $this->setupSignedAuthMiddleware(); } } ``` Then you have two options: use the middleware on all or your routes or not. To add the middleware to all your routes, add the middleware to the web middleware group. ``` // App/Http/Kernel.php protected $middlewareGroups = [ 'web' => [ // ... \JhumanJ\LaravelSignedAuthMiddleware\SignedAuthMiddleware::class, ], ]; ``` Now if you don't want to use the middleware on all of your web routes you can also define a route middleware like this: ``` // Kernel.php protected $routeMiddleware = [ 'auth.signed' => \JhumanJ\LaravelSignedAuthMiddleware\SignedAuthMiddleware::class, ]; ``` And then use it as follows in your route file: ``` // routes/web.php Route::get('/', function () { return view('welcome'); })->middleware('auth.signed','auth'); ``` ### Creating auth signed links [](#creating-auth-signed-links) Here is how to generate a signed link that will authenticate your users: ``` use JhumanJ\LaravelSignedAuthMiddleware\Facades\SignedAuth; $signedUrl = SignedAuth::forUser($user) ->route('welcome') ->generate(); ``` You can also override the default expiry time: ``` use JhumanJ\LaravelSignedAuthMiddleware\Facades\SignedAuth; $signedUrl = SignedAuth::forUser($user) ->expired(60*24) // expires in 24 hours ->route('welcome') ->generate(); ``` Or you set it to never expire: ``` use JhumanJ\LaravelSignedAuthMiddleware\Facades\SignedAuth; $signedUrl = SignedAuth::forUser($user) ->neverExpires() ->route('welcome') ->generate(); ``` If you need to add some more parameters, just proceed as you would do it with the normal `route()` method: ``` use JhumanJ\LaravelSignedAuthMiddleware\Facades\SignedAuth; $signedUrl = SignedAuth::forUser($user) ->route('welcome',[ 'utm_source' => 'source', 'utm_medium' => 'medium', 'utm_campaign' => 'utm_campaign' ]) ->generate(); ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) Please make sure that all package tests are running successfully before sending a pull request. ``` composer test ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
