Laravel Impersonate is a package that allows you to easily and securely impersonate other users within a Laravel application. This can be particularly useful for debugging problems and generating scenarios after deploying your application to production.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require pinetco-dev/laravel-impersonate
```

Once you have installed the package, you can publish and run the migrations with the following command:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="impersonate-migrations"
php artisan migrate
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The package comes with a configuration file that allows you to customize its settings according to your needs. You can publish the configuration file using the following command:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="impersonate-config"
```

After publishing the configuration file, you need to specify the URL where impersonate webhooks should hit your application. To do this, add the following line to your routes file:

```
Route::impersonation();
```

### Middleware

[](#middleware)

If you want to protect specific pages against user impersonation, you can use the impersonate.protect middleware. For example:

```
Router::get('/payment', function() {
    echo "This page cannot be accessed by an impersonator.";
})->middleware('impersonate.protect');
```

### Blade

[](#blade)

There are some blade directives available that allow you to customize the behavior of your application depending on whether the user can impersonate or is being impersonated.

#### When the user can impersonate

[](#when-the-user-can-impersonate)

```
@canImpersonate
    Login as {{ $user->name }}
@endCanImpersonate
```

#### When the user is being impersonated

[](#when-the-user-is-being-impersonated)

```
@impersonating

        Leave impersonation mode

@endImpersonating
```
