If you are using an older version of Laravel, there are [other versions](https://packagist.org/packages/srlabs/centaur) available. Installation ------------ [](#installation) **Install the Package Via Composer:** ``` $ composer require srlabs/centaur ``` **Add the Service Provider to your `config/app.php` file:** ``` 'providers' => array( ... Centaur\CentaurServiceProvider::class, ... ) ``` This package will not make use of [automatic package discovery](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/packages#package-discovery) - you will need to register it manually. This is intentional. Usage in New Applications ------------------------- [](#usage-in-new-applications) If you are starting a new Laravel 5.\* application, this package provides a convenient way to get up and running with `Cartalyst\Sentinel` very quickly. Start by removing the default auth scaffolding that ships with a new Laravel 5.1 application: ``` $ php artisan centaur:spruce ``` Next, use Centaur's scaffolding command to create basic Auth Controllers and Views in your application: ``` $ php artisan centaur:scaffold ``` Publish the `Cartalyst\Sentinel` assets: ``` $ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cartalyst\Sentinel\Laravel\SentinelServiceProvider" ``` Run your database migrations: ``` $ php artisan migrate ``` Run the Database Seeder. You may need to re-generate the autoloader before this will work: ``` $ composer dump-autoload $ php artisan db:seed --class="SentinelDatabaseSeeder" ``` You will also need to add these routes to your `routes.php` file: ``` // Authorization Route::get('login', 'Auth\SessionController@getLogin')->name('auth.login.form'); Route::post('login', 'Auth\SessionController@postLogin')->name('auth.login.attempt'); Route::any('logout', 'Auth\SessionController@getLogout')->name('auth.logout'); // Registration Route::get('register', 'Auth\RegistrationController@getRegister')->name('auth.register.form'); Route::post('register', 'Auth\RegistrationController@postRegister')->name('auth.register.attempt'); // Activation Route::get('activate/{code}', 'Auth\RegistrationController@getActivate')->name('auth.activation.attempt'); Route::get('resend', 'Auth\RegistrationController@getResend')->name('auth.activation.request'); Route::post('resend', 'Auth\RegistrationController@postResend')->name('auth.activation.resend'); // Password Reset Route::get('password/reset/{code}', 'Auth\PasswordController@getReset')->name('auth.password.reset.form'); Route::post('password/reset/{code}', 'Auth\PasswordController@postReset')->name('auth.password.reset.attempt'); Route::get('password/reset', 'Auth\PasswordController@getRequest')->name('auth.password.request.form'); Route::post('password/reset', 'Auth\PasswordController@postRequest')->name('auth.password.request.attempt'); // Users Route::resource('users', 'UserController'); // Roles Route::resource('roles', 'RoleController'); // Dashboard Route::get('dashboard', function () { return view('Centaur::dashboard'); })->name('dashboard'); ``` This is only meant to be a starting point; you can change them as you see fit. Make sure you read through your new Auth Controllers and understand how they work before you make any changes. Centaur automatically installs Sentinel and registers the `Sentinel`, `Activations`, and `Reminders` aliases for you. Detailed instructions for using Sentinel [can be found here](https://cartalyst.com/manual/sentinel/2.0). If you do decide to make use of Laravel's `Route::resource()` option, you will need to use [Form Method Spoofing](https://github.com/SRLabs/Centaur/wiki/Form-Method-Spoofing) to access some of those generated routes. Usage in Existing Applications ------------------------------ [](#usage-in-existing-applications) If you already have already built out your auth views and controllers, the best way to make use of this package is to inject the `AuthManager` into your controllers and use it as a wrapper for Sentinel. Detailed information about the `AuthManager` methods [can be found here](https://github.com/SRLabs/Centaur/wiki/AuthManager-Methods-and-Responses). Using Customized Middleware --------------------------- [](#using-customized-middleware) It is possible that the behavior of the Middleware that comes with this package might not suit your exact needs. To adjust the middleware, create a copy of the problematic Centaur Middleware class in your `app/Http/Middleware` directory - this new class can be given any name you would like. You can then adjust the middleware references in your controllers and/or routes file to use the new class, or you can bind the new class to the Centaur Middleware class name in your App service provider, as such: ``` // app/providers/AppServiceProvider.php /** * Register any application services. * * @return void */ public function register() { $this->app->bind('Centaur\Middleware\SentinelGuest', function ($app) { return new \App\Http\Middleware\AlternativeGuestMiddleware; }); } ``` ### Health Score 66 — FairBetter than 99% of packages Maintenance94 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity42 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community22 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity89 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 84.9% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
