Protect your pages with a token!

### Prerequisites

[](#prerequisites)

You will need a project running Objective-PHP to use this package.

If you want to use the user token feauture, you'll need a user with the attribute `apiToken`With yoctu/connect you'll need at least connect-common v2.2.3

### Installing

[](#installing)

The package should be easy to install. You just need to add this repository to your composer.json

```
composer require yoctu/api-guardian

```

And add the package to your Application.php with filter(s) if needed.

```
$this->getStep('auth')
    ->plug(Apiguardian::class, new UrlFilter('/api/*'))->as('api-guardian')
;

```

Using the package
-----------------

[](#using-the-package)

Now that the package has been plugged on your application you can setup the one or more token to be used in the configuration.

```
return [
    new Param('api-keys', ['api_key_one', 'api_key_two'])
];

```

You'll now need to add a token to your request to pass the middleware

```
GET / HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Authorization: api_key_one
Connection: keep-alive

```
