Multi-Auth for Laravel 5.1
==========================

[](#multi-auth-for-laravel-51)

[![Latest Stable Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/d8ef519305c6850297612af3eef5f6d006750bf3e3b603b123f4c773bbdc9d37/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f726565642f617574682f76657273696f6e2e706e67)](https://packagist.org/packages/reed/auth)[![Total Downloads](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/51088c875e2845a503f52cc75dc87c6b461dfe617df92a2c89962e875a74f7e4/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f726565642f617574682f642f746f74616c2e706e67)](https://packagist.org/packages/reed/auth)

This is a mostly drop-in replacement for Laravel 5.2's Multi-Auth for Laravel 5.1. Most of the source core for this project comes from Laravel 5.2, and is just refactored to work with 5.1.

***Deprecation Notice:*** With the final end of Laravel 5.1 being behind us, I am marking this package as abandoned. By now, everyone should be using Laravel 5.5 or greater. While I may still provide periodic updates, I am no longer officially maintaining this package.

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

[](#installation)

### Composer

[](#composer)

Require this package with composer:

```
composer require reed/auth

```

### Service Providers

[](#service-providers)

After updating composer, add the Service Provider to the providers array in `config/app.php`.

```
Reed\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class

```

To avoid conflicts, you should also remove Laravel's Auth Provider.

```
// Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class,

```

However, you should keep Laravel's Auth Facade, as this package just replaces the underlying singleton.

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

Go ahead and grab yourself a copy of [Laravel 5.2's configuration file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laravel/laravel/master/config/auth.php). The old configuration file won't work, and you'll probably want to configure this one to match your settings.

### Replacement

[](#replacement)

Any references to Laravel 5.1's Authorization Layer isn't going to work anymore. You'll want to swap them out with the new components. Here are the new class paths:

- `Illuminate\Auth\*` => `Reed\Auth\*`
- `Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\*` => `Reed\Auth\Contracts\*`
- `Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\*` => `Reed\Auth\Foundation\*`

Common places to find these are:

- `Authenticate` and `RedirectIfAuthenticated` Middlewares
- The `User` Model

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

It's exactly the same as Multi-Auth in Laravel 5.2, so I'll refer you to the [documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/authentication).
