Our goal is to handle good security and privacy management practices and to do it in a way the will make app development and maintenance simpler instead of making it harder or more complicated. Silicon can be viewed as a glue layer between [Laravel](https://laravel.com/)and [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org). Those technologies combined provide every required aspect to handle application security, identity management and ease of development. It is simple to develop new features and maintain the app and most probably Silicon will boost your performance but it's not aimed at everyone, especially not at coding beginners. Silicon does not reinvent concepts, it just stands on shoulders of giants. What it provides is the separation of concerns and modular [Laravel](https://laravel.com/) code divided into bundles with security and identity management concepts included by design. It would probably require some effort (although it's possible) to include Silicon into an existing project but if you are thinking about creating a fresh codebase or new API / webapp version it may be a choice worth considering. Core benefits ------------- [](#core-benefits) - GDPR friendly (and probably other regulations also) - when used correctly is simplifies user, roles and identities management by offloading everything to [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org) and providing full integration with [Laravel](https://laravel.com/) helpers and features - does not reinvent the wheel, it uses existing technologies and adds minimal required code to make them work together and give bigger benefits (we believe that `2 + 2 = 5` when combining good solutions) Caveats ------- [](#caveats) - requires senior / upper-mid skills to understand and use Silicon correctly, although with guidance it's possible to introduce junior level programmer to develop features - cannot be integrated into an existing Laravel project without refactoring (although it can be easily removed and leave modular code behind) How it works ------------ [](#how-it-works) Silicon provides several built-in services that introduce security oriented code bundles into [Laravel](https://laravel.com/). Concept is somewhat similar to the [Symfony bundle system](https://symfony.com/doc/3.3/bundles.html). In [Symfony](https://symfony.com/) world those are considered a legacy feature (for a good reason), but in Silicon they play different role than just separation of concerns thus they are still relevant and innovative. Each bundle (or `extensions` - as they are called in Silicon world) besides a service provider provide entry point class that extends base `Newride\Silicon\bundles\extensions\Extension`. In their essence, bundles are automatically registered [Laravel packages](https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/packages)with built-in additional Silicon features. Extension is the place to register [Laravel](https://laravel.com/) policies and provide simple entry point to check if user has sufficient permissions to use the entire bundle. Users are not stored in the application database, they are retrieved by using [Keycloak's](https://www.keycloak.org) OAuth access token. Good practice is to assign a different role to each bundle to easily build and maintain modular application. For example if your app consist of blog and shop you can have two extensions: `shop` and `blog` and `view-shop`, `view-blog` roles respectively. Extension entry point should make one or two generic checks to cut off access to the extension completely. More specific permissions, access control lists etc should be moved to [Laravel's security policies](https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/authorization#creating-policies). Given such basic code organisation, your application would not store any personal data and be divided into modules with several layers of flexible security checks. ### Health Score 22 ↓ LowBetter than 22% of packages Maintenance0 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity9 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity60 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 80% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
