Alternatively, you can **[spread the word!](http://twitter.com/share?text=I%20am%20using%20this%20cool%20PHP%20package&url=https://github.com%2FLaragear%2FExpireRoute&hashtags=PHP,Laravel)** Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.3 or later - Laravel 12 or later Installation ------------ [](#installation) Just fire up Composer and require the package in your application ``` composer require laragear/expire-route ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) While [Laravel Temporarily Protected Routes](https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/urls#signed-urls) works great for making routes available for a given amount of time, this library uses your Eloquent Model in the route to expire it through a middleware. To better understand how the middleware works, let's imagine we have the `App\Models\Payment` model with an `expires_at` attribute that determines when the payment should be become invalid. The `expires` middleware does this automatically: if the `expires_at` time is past, the request will be aborted with a `HTTP 410 Gone` code. ``` use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; use App\Models\Payment; Route::get('payment/{payment}', function (Payment $invite) { // ... })->middleware('expires'); ``` ### Multiple route parameters [](#multiple-route-parameters) By default, the middleware will always check for the **last route parameter** in a route. You may set the name of the parameter if you require to check its expiration time. ``` use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; use App\Models\Payment; use App\Models\Detail; Route::get('payment/{payment}/detail/{detail}') ->uses(function (Payment $payment, Detail $detail) { // ... }) ->middleware('expires:payment'); ``` ### Custom attribute [](#custom-attribute) If your model doesn't have an `expires_at` attribute to check, you can use `dot.notation` to traverse the object attributes and find the expiration time. ``` use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; use App\Models\Payment; Route::get('payment/{payment}', function (Payment $payment) { // ... })->middleware('expires:payment.due_at'); ``` ### Relative expiration [](#relative-expiration) When you have a model that doesn't have an expiration time, you can set a time in minutes (or a string to be parsed by [`strtotime()`](https://www.php.net/manual/function.strtotime.php)) to calculate from the `created_at` attribute when the route should expire. For example, by setting `60`, the route will expire once 60 minutes have passed since the creation of the `App\Models\Payment` model. ``` use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; use App\Models\Payment; Route::get('payment/{payment}', function (Payment $party) { // ... })->middleware('expires:payment,60'); ``` If you want to calculate the time from other attribute than `created_at`, issue the name of the attribute using `dot.notation`. ``` use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; use App\Models\Payment; Route::get('payment/{payment}', function (Payment $party) { // ... })->middleware('expires:payment.issued_at,24 hours'); ``` Warning If the property or attribute doesn't exist or returns `null`, it will be assumed the model has **not** expired yet. ### Using the `routeExpiresAt()` method [](#using-the-routeexpiresat-method) If the model or object implements the `Laragear\ExpireRoute\Contracts\RouteExpirable` contract, the `routeExpiresAt()` method will be used to retrieve the moment the route it should expire. ``` namespace App\Models; use DateTimeInterface; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Laragear\ExpireRoute\Contracts\RouteExpirable; class Payment extends Model implements RouteExpirable { // ... public function routeExpiresAt(): DateTimeInterface { return $this->created_at->addMinutes(60); } } ``` Important Using the contract **takes precedence**, unless an attribute is specified by the middleware declaration itself. Non Eloquent Models ------------------- [](#non-eloquent-models) Both middlewares are not limited to only Eloquent Models. It can be any object (even an array) that has a UNIX Epoch timestamp or a datetime, since the check is done by retrieving the value through [`data_get()`](https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/helpers#method-data-get) and then parsed by Laravel's Date Factory. ``` use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Date; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; class Thing { public function __construct(public $expiredAt) { // } } Route::bind('thing', fn($time = 'now') => new Thing($value)); Route::get('some/{thing}', function (Thing $thing) { // ... })->middleware('expires:thing.expiredAt'); ``` Fluent middleware declaration ----------------------------- [](#fluent-middleware-declaration) You may also use the `Laragear\ExpireRoute\Http\Middleware\Expires` middleware to fluently configure it in your route. It's a great way to set relative time expressively. ``` use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; use Laragear\ExpireRoute\Http\Middleware\Expires; // Set the parameter name and attribute Route::get('/payment/{payment}/details/{detail}') ->middleware(Expires::using('payment.expiration_time')); // Set the relative amount of time to check. Route::get('/payment/{payment}') ->middleware(Expires::in(1)->hour()->and(30)->minutes()); // Set the relative amount of time to check. Route::get('/payment/{payment}') ->middleware(Expires::after('60 minutes'); ``` Laravel Octane compatibility ---------------------------- [](#laravel-octane-compatibility) - There are no singletons using a stale application instance. - There are no singletons using a stale config instance. - There are no singletons using a stale request instance. - There are no static properties written during a request.
