Permissions
===========

[](#permissions)

Tiny Laravel 5 package for handling user roles and permissions.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Add the following to the require key of your composer.json file:

```
"s00d/permissions": "dev-master"

```

Run `$ composer update`.

Navigate to your `config/app.php` file and add `'s00d\Permissions\PermissionsServiceProvider'` to the `$providers` array.

Create the tables by running `$ php artisan migrate package="s00d/permissions"`. Ensure that your `users` table exists first.

Navigate to your `models/User.php` file and add the `s00d\Permissions\Can` trait below the class decloration line:

```
class User extends Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface {
    use s00d\Permissions\Can;

```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Create a new role:

```
$role = new \s00d\Permissions\Role();
$role->name = 'Administrator';
$role->save();

```

Create a new permission:

```
$permission = new \s00d\Permissions\Permission();
$permission->name = 'read_articles';
$permission->display_name ='Can read articles';
$permission->save();

```

Attach the permission to the role:

```
$role->allow($permission);

```

Create a user:

```
$user = new User;
$user->role_id = 1;
$user->save();

```

And you're set! To check if a user has a permission:

```
$user = User::find(1);

if ($user->can('read_articles'))
    echo 'The user with the ID of "1" can read articles';

```

To check if the current authenticated user has a permission:

```
if (Auth::user()->can('read_articles'))
    echo 'The current authenticated user can read articles';

```
