Laravel Simple Permissions

A simple Laravel package for handling roles and permissions. This package allows you to assign roles to users, manage permissions, and easily check for roles and permissions in your application.

Installation

To install the package, run the following command:

composer require lazycode/laravel-simple-permissions

Publish Configuration

After installing the package, publish the configuration file using:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Lazycode\Permissions\PermissionsServiceProvider" --tag=config

Run Migrations

Next, run the migrations to create the necessary tables in your database:

php artisan migrate

Usage

Setting Up the User Model

In your User model (usually located at app/Models/User.php), ensure you include the HasRolesAndPermissions trait:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
use Lazycode\Permissions\Traits\HasRolesAndPermissions; // Ensure this is correct

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable, HasRolesAndPermissions;

    // Your existing model code...
}

Assigning Roles and Permissions

You can now use the package's functionality in your application. Here are some examples:

Assign a Role

To assign a role to a user:

$user = User::find(1); // Replace with the appropriate user ID
$user->assignRole('Admin');

Get User's Role

To get the user's assigned role:

$role = $user->getRole();

Check User's Permissions

To check if a user has a specific permission:

if ($user->hasPermission('edit-user')) {
    // The user has permission to edit a user
}

IN blade.php

@hasPermission('edit-user')
    {{ show the content if user has this permission }}
@endhasPermission

Functions List

• role : Return the Role collection of modal.
• hasRole @hasRole : Check Loggedin User has the role.
• hasAnyRole @hasAnyRole : Checks if the user has any of the specified roles.
• permission : Get the permission collection from permission modal.
• @hasPermission @haspermission : Check Loggedin user has the permission.
• hasAnyPermission @hasAnyPermission : Checks if the user has any of the specified permissions.
• hasAllPermission @hasAllPermission : Verifies that the user has all the specified permissions.
• hasExactPermissions @hasExactPermissions : Checks if the user has exactly the specified permissions.

Seeding Roles and Permissions

You can create a seeder to start with some default roles and permissions. For example:

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Lazycode\Permissions\Models\Role;
use Lazycode\Permissions\Models\Permission;
use App\Models\User;

class RolesAndPermissionsSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run()
    {
        // Create permissions
        $editUserPermission = Permission::create(['name' => 'edit-user']);
        $addUserPermission = Permission::create(['name' => 'add-user']);
        $deleteUserPermission = Permission::create(['name' => 'delete-user']);

        // Create a role
        $adminRole = Role::create(['name' => 'Admin']);

        // Attach permissions to the role
        $adminRole->permissions()->attach([$editUserPermission->id, $addUserPermission->id, $deleteUserPermission->id]);

        // Create a user and assign the role
        $user = User::create(['name' => 'Admin User', 'email' => 'admin@example.com', 'password' => bcrypt('password')]);
        $user->assignRole('Admin');
    }
}

Database Schema

Ensure your database schema is set up correctly. The following tables should exist:

• roles : To store roles.
• permissions : To store permissions.
• role_permission : Pivot table to manage many-to-many relationships between roles and permissions.
• users : Ensure there is a role_id column in the users table to associate users with their roles.
