Privat

Private is a very simple password protection for Laravel projects. It's useful for websites in a staging state., _(*2)

, _(*3)

Usage

Install with composer

composer require dvlpp/privat, _(*4)

Add Privat Service Provider (except for Laravel 5.5+)

Add the following line in the providers section of your config/app.php file:, _(*5)

\Dvlpp\Privat\PrivatServiceProvider::class, _(*6)

Add Privat middleware in your project

Add the following line at the end of the $middleware array of the app/Http/Kernel file:, _(*7)

\Dvlpp\Privat\PrivatMiddleware::class, _(*8)

Set Privat config

First create the privat config file:, _(*9)

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Dvlpp\Privat\PrivatServiceProvider", _(*10)

And then edit the new /config/privat.php accordingly (nothing fancy), or even better, add this keys in your .env file:, _(*11)

• PRIVAT_RESTRICTED=true
• PRIVAT_PASSWORD=mypassword

Exceptions

The except config param is meant to contain an array of excluded urls (those url won't be protected by Privat)., _(*12)

How does it work

Quite simple: if the given password is correct, Privat sets a session property, and look for it on each request. So, obviously, Privat won't work on non session based systems (an API for instance)., _(*13)
