This is particularly useful for staging or preview environments where you want to restrict access without setting up complex authentication. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require kommandhub/laravel-folder-protection ``` The service provider will automatically register itself. ### Publish Configuration [](#publish-configuration) You can publish the configuration file using: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="folder-protection-config" ``` This will create a `config/folder-protection.php` file in your application. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) You can configure the protection using environment variables in your `.env` file: ``` FOLDER_PROTECTION_ENABLED=true FOLDER_PROTECTION_USER=your_username FOLDER_PROTECTION_PASSWORD=your_password ``` ### Default Behavior [](#default-behavior) By default, the protection is enabled only when `APP_ENV` is set to `staging`. Environment VariableDescriptionDefault`FOLDER_PROTECTION_ENABLED`Enable or disable the protection`config('app.env') === 'staging'``FOLDER_PROTECTION_USER`The username for Basic Auth`null``FOLDER_PROTECTION_PASSWORD`The password for Basic Auth`null`*Note: The package also supports `APP_FOLDER_PROTECTION_USER` and `APP_FOLDER_PROTECTION_PASSWORD` for backward compatibility.* Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Global Middleware [](#global-middleware) To protect your entire application, add the middleware to your `bootstrap/app.php` (Laravel 11+) or `app/Http/Kernel.php` (Laravel 10 and below). #### Laravel 11 & 12 [](#laravel-11--12) ``` // bootstrap/app.php ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) { $middleware->append(\KommandHub\FolderProtection\Http\Middleware\FolderProtection::class); }) ``` #### Laravel 10 and below [](#laravel-10-and-below) ``` // app/Http/Kernel.php protected $middleware = [ // ... \KommandHub\FolderProtection\Http\Middleware\FolderProtection::class, ]; ``` ### Route-specific Middleware [](#route-specific-middleware) You can also apply the middleware to specific routes or groups: ``` Route::middleware([\KommandHub\FolderProtection\Http\Middleware\FolderProtection::class])->group(function () { Route::get('/staging-only', function () { // ... }); }); ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` ### Code Coverage [](#code-coverage) To run tests with code coverage (requires Xdebug or PCOV): ``` composer test:coverage ``` The coverage reports will be generated in `build/coverage`.
