Roles and Permissions
=====================

[](#roles-and-permissions)

[![CI](https://github.com/jomisacu/roles-and-permissions/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/jomisacu/roles-and-permissions/actions)

A framework-agnostic PHP library for managing roles and permissions with multi-tenant support. Zero runtime dependencies — just PHP 8.1+ and PDO.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Multi-tenant** — all data is scoped by a `contextId`, so one installation serves multiple apps, orgs, or workspaces.
- **Resource-level permissions** — grant or deny permissions on specific resources with wildcard matching (`blog::post::*`).
- **Permission negation** — explicitly deny a permission, even if granted through a role.
- **MySQL and PostgreSQL** support.
- **Framework-agnostic** — works with Laravel, Symfony, or plain PHP. Migration generators included for all three.
- **In-memory caching** — optional `CachedPermissionChecker` decorator to avoid repeated queries within a request.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.1+
- `ext-pdo`
- `ext-pdo_mysql` (for MySQL) or `ext-pdo_pgsql` (for PostgreSQL)

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require jomisacu/roles-and-permissions
```

Database Setup
--------------

[](#database-setup)

Generate migrations for your platform and framework:

```
# Plain PHP + MySQL (default)
vendor/bin/jomisacu-roles-and-permissions generate-migrations

# Laravel + MySQL
vendor/bin/jomisacu-roles-and-permissions generate-migrations \
  --target-framework=laravel \
  --target-platform=mysql \
  --migrations-path=database/migrations

# Symfony + PostgreSQL
vendor/bin/jomisacu-roles-and-permissions generate-migrations \
  --target-framework=symfony \
  --target-platform=postgres \
  --migrations-path=migrations

# Custom table prefix
vendor/bin/jomisacu-roles-and-permissions generate-migrations \
  --table-prefix=myapp_
```

Then run the generated migrations with your usual tool (`php artisan migrate`, `doctrine:migrations:migrate`, etc.).

Alternatively, apply the consolidated schema directly:

```
mysql -u root -p your_database can($contextId, $actorId, 'edit-posts', 'blog::post::123');

// Any of several permissions
$checker->canAny($contextId, $actorId, ['edit-posts', 'delete-posts'], 'blog::post::123');

// All permissions required
$checker->canAll($contextId, $actorId, ['edit-posts', 'publish-posts'], 'blog::post::123');
```

Checking Roles
--------------

[](#checking-roles)

```
$checker->is($contextId, $actorId, 'admin');
$checker->isAny($contextId, $actorId, ['admin', 'editor']);
$checker->isAll($contextId, $actorId, ['admin', 'editor']);
```

Resource Wildcards
------------------

[](#resource-wildcards)

Resources use `::` as separator. The `*` wildcard matches any single segment, and `**` matches any number of remaining segments.

Given permissionRequested resourceMatch`blog::post::*``blog::post::123`✅`blog::*::edit``blog::post::edit`✅`blog::**``blog::post::123::comments`✅`blog::post::*``blog::post::123::comments`❌Custom Table Prefix
-------------------

[](#custom-table-prefix)

Pass the same prefix to both the migration generator and the repositories:

```
use Jomisacu\RolesAndPermissions\MySqlTableNames;

$tableNames = MySqlTableNames::fromPrefix('myapp_');

$permissions = new PermissionRepositoryMySql($pdo, $tableNames);
$roles       = new RoleRepositoryMySql($pdo, $tableNames);
// ... same for all other repositories
```

PostgreSQL
----------

[](#postgresql)

Replace `MySql` classes with their `Postgres` equivalents:

```
use Jomisacu\RolesAndPermissions\{
    PermissionRepositoryPostgres,
    RoleRepositoryPostgres,
    PostgresTableNames,
};

$tableNames = PostgresTableNames::fromPrefix('myapp_');
$permissions = new PermissionRepositoryPostgres($pdo, $tableNames);
```

Production Notes
----------------

[](#production-notes)

- Wrap `PermissionChecker` with `CachedPermissionChecker` to avoid repeated DB queries within a single request.
- `PermissionChecker` is stateless across calls, so it can be safely reused as a long-lived service.
- SQL repositories raise domain exceptions (`RepositoryException`, `UniqueConstraintViolationException`, `ForeignKeyConstraintViolationException`) instead of leaking raw PDO errors.

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

```
vendor/bin/phpunit        # unit + integration tests
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse # static analysis (level 8)
```

Integration tests require MySQL and PostgreSQL. Connection settings are in `phpunit.xml.dist`. Tests that cannot connect to a database are automatically skipped.
