Laravel Role Lite

A lightweight role management package for Laravel applications.

Laravel Role Lite is a lightweight package for managing user roles in Laravel applications. It provides a simple and intuitive API for defining roles, assigning them to users throughout your application with minimal configuration.

Prerequisites

• Laravel v10, v11 and v12
• PHP 8.3 or higher

Installation

composer require oltrematica/laravel-role-lite

After installing the package, publish migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=oltrematica-role-lite-migrations

Run the migrations to create the necessary database tables:

php artisan migrate

Configuration

The package comes with a default configuration file that you can modify according to your needs. The configuration file is located at config/oltrematica-role-lite.php. Maybe you can be satisfied with the default configuration, but if you want to change it, you can publish the configuration file using the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=oltrematica-role-lite-config

Table Names

You can customize the table names used by the package:

'table_names' => [
    // Table for storing roles
    'roles' => 'roles',
    
    // Your users table (usually 'users')
    'users' => 'users',
    
    // Pivot table for role-user relationship
    'role_user' => 'role_user',
],

Model Names

You can specify a custom User model:

'model_names' => [
    // If you want to use a custom user model, specify it here
    // Otherwise, it will use the model defined in auth.providers.users.model
    'user' => null,
],

Usage

I suggest you to use Enum for roles, but you can use string too.

enum Roles: string
{
    case ADMIN = 'admin';
    case EDITOR = 'editor';
    case MODERATOR = 'moderator';
}

Assigning Roles

// Assign a role to a user
$user->assignRole('admin');

// or you can use Enum 
$user->assignRole(\App\Enums\Roles::ADMIN);

Assign multiple roles

$user->assignRoles(['editor', 'moderator']);

Checking Roles

Check if a user has a specific role:

if ($user->hasRole('admin')) {
    // User has admin role
}

// or

if ($user->hasRole(\App\Enums\Roles::ADMIN)) {
    // User has admin role
}

Check if a user has any of the given roles

if ($user->hasAnyRole(['admin', 'editor'])) {
    // User has either admin or editor role
}

// or

if ($user->hasAnyRole([Roles::ADMIN, Roles::EDITOR])) {
    // User has either admin or editor role
}

Check if a user has all the given roles

if ($user->hasAllRoles(['admin', 'editor'])) {
    // User has both admin and editor roles
}

// or

if ($user->hasAllRoles([Roles::ADMIN, Roles::EDITOR])) {
    // User has both admin and editor roles
}

Events

The package fires events when roles are assigned or removed from users. You can listen to these events in your application to perform additional actions.

• UserRoleCreated: Fired when a role is assigned to a user.
• UserRoleDeleted: Fired when a role is removed from a user.
• UserRoleUpdated: Fired when a role is updated for a user.
