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

[](#installation)

Run the following command to install the package:

```
composer require matthewbdaly/laravel-impersonator
```

Then just include this in your `app/Http/Kernel.php` in the appropriate place where you want to import the middleware:

```
\Matthewbdaly\LaravelImpersonator\Http\Middleware\Impersonator::class
```

You can apply it globally, or only to specific routes as you wish. You will also need to add the trait `Matthewbdaly\LaravelImpersonator\Eloquent\Traits\CanImpersonate` to your user model to add these methods:

- `startImpersonating($id)` - start impersonating user `$id`
- `stopImpersonating()` - stop impersonating
- `isImpersonating()` - Is user impersonating or not?
