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

[](#installation)

Install this package through [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).

Edit your project's `composer.json` file to require `longman/laravel-dummyuser`

Create *composer.json* file:

```
{
    "name": "yourproject/yourproject",
    "type": "project",
    "require": {
        "longman/laravel-dummyuser": "~1.0"
    }
}
```

And run composer update

**Or** run a command in your command line:

```
composer require longman/laravel-dummyuser

```

After updating composer, add the DummyUserServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

```
Longman\LaravelDummyUser\DummyUserServiceProvider::class,
```

In the `config/auth.php` file you should add dummy guard in the `guards` array:

```
'guards' => [
    . . .

    'dummy' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'dummy',
    ],
]
```

and provider in the `providers` array

```
'providers' => [
    . . .

    'dummy' => [
        'driver' => 'dummy',
        'lifetime' => 3600, // Cache lifetime in minutes
    ],
]
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can specify default guard `dummy` in the `config/auth.php` file (`defaults` array) and use just `Auth::` calls, or use `Auth::guard('dummy')`, like `Auth::guard('dummy')->login($user)`

For authenticating users, you need some unique identifier. You can use remote id or something like `md5('some-unique-mail@mail.com')`

In User model you need to add `id` in fillable array. And if you use string `id` also add `protected $keyType = 'string';` field.

Usage example:

```
