Laravel Shield
==============

[](#laravel-shield)

This package used to be an HTTP basic auth middleware for Laravel. However, it is now deprecated as I no longer use it personally. Laravel already has built-in basic auth support for their web guard.

If you need simpler basic auth for your API, instead of depending on a third-party library, you can add it yourself. Please follow the guide below.

```
BASIC_AUTH_USER=your-username
BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=your-password
```

Modify your `config/auth.php` file as follows:

```
'basic' => [
    'user' => env('BASIC_AUTH_USER'),
    'password' => env('BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD'),
],
```
