Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require starfolksoftware/persona ``` You can publish and run the migrations with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="persona-migrations" php artisan migrate ``` You can publish the config file with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="persona-config" ``` This is the contents of the published config file: ``` return [ 'roles' => [ // 'owner' => [ // 'key' => 'owner', // 'name' => 'Owner', // 'permissions' => ['*'], // ], ], ]; ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Add the `HasRole` trait to your user model: ``` use StarfolkSoftware\Persona\HasRole; class User extends Authenticatable { use HasRole; // ... } ``` Register your roles and permissions in the config file: ``` return [ 'roles' => [ 'owner' => [ 'key' => 'owner', // must be unique 'name' => 'Owner', 'permissions' => ['*'], ], ], ]; ``` You can check if a user has a particular permission as in the following: ``` $user->hasPermission('post:edit'); ``` Giving the `permissions` key the value `'*'` means the `hasPermission(...)` method will always return true.
