Blockade
========

[](#blockade)

A simple block for your [Laravel](https://laravel.com) app to prevent access without a known code, and to force to https if you wish.\*

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

[](#installation)

- Install Blockade using composer: `composer require konsulting/laravel-blockade`
- If you are using Laravel 5.5 or above, the package will make the service provider available for auto-discovery. If you are using an earlier version of Laravel, add Blockade's Service Provider to `config/app.php`

```
'providers' => [
    // Other service providers...

    Konsulting\Laravel\Blockade\BlockadeServiceProvider::class,
],
```

- Add the middleware to your `app/Http/Kernel.php`

```
protected $middlewareGroups = [
        'web' => [
            ... Other middleware
            \Konsulting\Laravel\Blockade\IsBlocked::class,
            \Konsulting\Laravel\Blockade\ForceSecure::class,
        ],
        ... Other middleware groups
    ];
```

*Only add the middleware you want to use.*

- Publish configuration and adjust for your site

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Konsulting\\Laravel\\Blockade\\BlockadeServiceProvider --tag=config

```

- Optionally publish views and adjust for your site

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Konsulting\\Laravel\\Blockade\\BlockadeServiceProvider --tag=views

```

Configuration Options
---------------------

[](#configuration-options)

There is a small set of configuration options. See the `blockade.php` config file for more information.

**key** - the variable name for the 'unlock code' to be used when checking is the site is blocked.

**code** - the code that allows access, it can be set using the environment variable `BLOCKADE_CODE` in the `.env` file

**multiple\_codes** - whether or not to allow multiple codes to be used (specified as a comma-delimited list). Defaults to `false`

**show\_form** - should Blockade show a form for the user to enter the code? defaults to `false`

**redirect** - optional url to redirect the user to when blocked

**until** - optional datetime for the blockade to expire

**not\_blocked** - an array of url patterns that should not be blocked

**not\_secure** - an array of url patterns that should not be forced to https
