Laravel Basic Authentication

Simple package to add Basic Authentication / BA to your Laravel project with 4 easy steps.

Step 1. Install

Install with composer

$ composer require redcenter/laravel-basic-authentication

Step 2. Adding middleware

Add the middleware class to your Kernel.php in App\Http:

    protected $middleware = [
        ...
        LaravelBasicAuth::class,
        ...
        ],
    ];

Step 3. Adding env variables

Add the variables to your .env file

AUTH_BASIC_USER=your-user-name
AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD=your-password

Step 4. Loading env variables in your config

Load the env variables through your config file in config/app.php

return [
    ...
    'basic_auth_user' => env('AUTH_BASIC_USER', null),
    'basic_auth_password' => env('AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD', null),
    ...
]

Open your project

Now, when you open your project in the browser, you will need the credentials to proceed.

Do you want to disable the BA middleware? Delete the variables from your .env (or delete the values)... That's it.
