It has also been fixed for CakePHP 3.7 Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - CakePHP 3.X Installation ------------ [](#installation) Run : `composer require rubyan/cake3-cookieauth:1.*`Or add it in your `composer.json`: ``` "require": { "rubyan/cake3-cookieauth": "1.*" }, ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) In your `config/bootstrap.php` add : ``` Plugin::load('Xety/Cake3CookieAuth'); ``` In your `AppController` : ``` public $components = [ 'Cookie', 'Auth' => [ 'authenticate' => [ 'Form', 'Xety/Cake3CookieAuth.Cookie' ] ] ]; ``` In your `AppController`, in the `beforeFilter` action : ``` public function beforeFilter(Event $event) { //Automaticaly Login. if (!$this->Auth->user() && $this->Cookie->read('CookieAuth')) { $user = $this->Auth->identify(); if ($user) { $this->Auth->setUser($user); } else { $this->Cookie->delete('CookieAuth'); } } } //If you want to update some fields, like the last_login_date, or last_login_ip, just do : public function beforeFilter(Event $event) { //Automaticaly Login. if (!$this->Auth->user() && $this->Cookie->read('CookieAuth')) { $this->loadModel('Users'); $user = $this->Auth->identify(); if ($user) { $this->Auth->setUser($user); $user = $this->Users->newEntity($user); $user->isNew(false); //Last login date $user->last_login = new Time(); //Last login IP $user->last_login_ip = $this->request->clientIp(); //etc... $this->Users->save($user); } else { $this->Cookie->delete('CookieAuth'); } } } ``` In your `login` action, after `$this->Auth->setUser($user);` : ``` //It will write Cookie without RememberMe checkbox $this->Cookie->configKey('CookieAuth', [ 'expires' => '+1 year', 'httpOnly' => true ]); $this->Cookie->write('CookieAuth', [ 'username' => $this->request->data('username'), 'password' => $this->request->data('password') ]); //If you want use a RememberMe checkbox in your form : //In your view echo $this->Form->checkbox('remember_me'); //In the login action : if($this->request->data('remember_me')) { $this->Cookie->configKey('CookieAuth', [ 'expires' => '+1 year', 'httpOnly' => true ]); $this->Cookie->write('CookieAuth', [ 'username' => $this->request->data('username'), 'password' => $this->request->data('password') ]); } ``` If you use LDAP for authentication you don't want to store the password obviously. You can set the password to null when writing the cookie. ``` $this->Cookie->write('CookieAuth', [ 'username' => $this->request->data('username'), 'password' => null ]); ``` Contribute ---------- [](#contribute) [Follow this guide to contribute](https://github.com/Xety/Cake3-CookieAuth/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) ### Health Score 32 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity20 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity64 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.
