Escher Auth Middleware
======================

[](#escher-auth-middleware)

Escher authentication middleware for the Laravel and Lumen framework.

About
-----

[](#about)

This package allows you to authenticate the incoming requests with Escher authentication.

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

[](#installation)

Require the ngabor84/laravel-escher-auth package in your composer.json and update your dependencies:

```
composer require ngabor84/laravel-escher-auth
```

Usage with Laravel
------------------

[](#usage-with-laravel)

Add the service provider to the providers array in the config/app.php config file as follows:

```
'providers' => [
    ...
    \Middleware\Auth\Escher\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider::class,
]
```

Run the following command to publish the package config file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Middleware\Auth\Escher\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider"
```

You should now have a config/escher.php file that allows you to configure the basics of this package.

Usage with Lumen
----------------

[](#usage-with-lumen)

Add the following snippet to the bootstrap/app.php file under the providers section as follows:

```
$app->register(\Middleware\Auth\Escher\Providers\LumenServiceProvider::class);
...
$app->configure('escher');
```

Create a config directory (if it's not exist), and create an escher.php in it with the plugin configuration like this:

```
return [
    'hashAlgo' => 'SHA256',
    'algoPrefix' => 'EMS',
    'vendorKey' => 'EMS',
    'authHeaderKey' => 'X-EMS-Auth',
    'dateHeaderKey' => 'X-EMS-Date',
    'clockSkew' => '300',
    'credentialScope' => env('ESCHER_CREDENTIAL_SCOPE'),
    'keyDB' => env('ESCHER_KEY_DB'),
];
```
