• This package requires PHP 5.5+

1. Require the package in your composer.json and update your dependency with composer update:

"require": {
...
"kodeine/laravel-acl": "~1.0@dev",
...
},

2. Add the package to your application service providers in config/app.php.

'providers' => [

'Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider',
'Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider',
...
'Kodeine\Acl\AclServiceProvider',

],

3. Publish the package migrations to your application and run these with `php artisan migrate.

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Kodeine\Acl\AclServiceProvider"

Use your own models. Once you publish, it publishes the configuration file where you can define your own models which should extend to Acl models.

4. Add the middleware to your app/Http/Kernel.php.

protected $routeMiddleware = [

....
'acl' => 'Kodeine\Acl\Middleware\HasPermission',

];

5. Add the HasRole trait to your User model.

use Kodeine\Acl\Traits\HasRole;

class User extends Model implements AuthenticatableContract, CanResetPasswordContract
{
use Authenticatable, CanResetPassword, HasRole;
}
