Authorization is a [separate concern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_concerns). Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install this library using [composer](http://getcomposer.org): ``` composer require phauthentic/authentication ``` Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) Your application **must** use the [PSR 7 HTTP Message interfaces](https://github.com/php-fig/http-message) for your request and response objects. The whole library is build to be framework agnostic but uses these interfaces as the common API. Every modern and well written framework and application should fulfill this requirement. - php >= 8.0 - [psr/http-message](https://github.com/php-fig/http-message) Only if you plan to use the PSR-15 middleware: - [psr/http-server-handler](https://github.com/php-fig/http-server-handler) - [psr/http-factory](https://github.com/php-fig/http-factory) - [psr/http-server-middleware](https://github.com/php-fig/http-server-middleware) Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) - [Architectural Overview](docs/Architecture-Overview.md) - [Quick Start and Introduction](docs/Quick-start-and-introduction.md) - [JWT Example](docs/JWT-Example.md) - [Authenticators](docs/Authenticators.md) - [Session](docs/Authenticators.md#session) - [Token](docs/Authenticators.md#token) - [JWT](docs/Authenticators.md#jwt) - [HTTP Basic](docs/Authenticators.md#httpbasic) - [HTTP Digest](docs/Authenticators.md#httpdigest) - [Cookie](docs/Authenticators.md#cookie-authenticator-aka-remember-me) - [OAuth](docs/Authenticators.md#oauth) - [Identifiers](docs/Identifiers.md) - [Identity Resolvers](docs/Identity-Resolvers.md) - [Callback Resolver](docs/Identity-Resolvers.md#callback-resolver) - [PDO Statement Resolver](docs/Identity-Resolvers.md#pdo-statement-resolver) - [Writing your own Resolver](docs/Identity-Resolvers.md#writing-your-own-resolver) - [Identity Objects](docs/Identity-Object.md) - [URL Checkers](docs/URL-Checkers.md) - [PSR15 Middleware](docs/PSR15-Middleware.md) - [PSR7 Middleware](docs/PSR7-Middleware.md) Copyright & License ----------------------- [](#copyright--license) Licensed under the [MIT license](LICENSE.txt). - Copyright (c) [Phauthentic](https://github.com/Phauthentic) - Copyright (c) [Cake Software Foundation, Inc.](https://cakefoundation.org) ### Health Score 36 — LowBetter than 79% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity23 Limited adoption so far Community21 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity71 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
