spatie-permissions-demo

This is a simple app to demonstrate implementing the spatie/laravel-permission package to a fresh Laravel app.

Many of the code examples used in this demo also come from the examples in the Spatie package README.

Creating Your Own Demo

You could create your own with the following steps:

Initial setup:

cd ~/Sites
laravel new mypermissionsdemo
cd mypermissionsdemo
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Fresh Laravel Install"

# Environment
cp -n .env.example .env
sed -i '' 's/DB_CONNECTION=mysql/DB_CONNECTION=sqlite/' .env
sed -i '' 's/DB_DATABASE=/#DB_DATABASE=/' .env
touch database/database.sqlite

# Package
composer require spatie/laravel-permission
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Permission\PermissionServiceProvider"
git add .
git commit -m "Add Spatie Laravel Permissions package"
php artisan migrate:fresh

# Add `HasRoles` trait to User model
sed -i '' $'s/use HasFactory, Notifiable;/use HasFactory, Notifiable;\\\n    use \\\\Spatie\\\\Permission\\\\Traits\\\\HasRoles;/' app/Models/User.php
sed -i '' $'s/use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;/use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;\\\n    use \\\\Spatie\\\\Permission\\\\Traits\\\\HasRoles;/' app/Models/User.php
git add . && git commit -m "Add HasRoles trait"

# Add Laravel's basic auth scaffolding
composer require laravel/ui --dev
php artisan ui bootstrap --auth
# npm install && npm run prod
git add . && git commit -m "Setup auth scaffold"

• Manually update DatabaseSeeder.php to add permissions, roles, and users
• re-migrate and seed the database:

php artisan migrate:fresh --seed
