After Installation

Configuration Files

Laratrust now allows mutliple user models, so in order to configure it correctly, you must change the values inside the config/laratrust.php file.

Multiple User Models

Inside the config/laratrust.php file you will find an user_models array, it contains the information about the multiple user models and the name of the relationships inside the Role and Permission models. For example:

'user_models' => [
    'users' => 'App\User',
],

Note

The value of the key inside the key => value pair defines the name of the relationship inside the Role and Permission models.

It means that there is only one user model using Laratrust, and the relationship with the Role and Permission models is going to be called like this:

$role->users;
$role->users();

Note

Inside the role_user and permission_user table the user_type column will be set with the user’s fully qualified class name, as the polymorphic relations describe it in Laravel docs.

So if you want to use the MorphMap feature just change the use_morph_map value to true inside Laratrust’s configuration file.

Automatic setup (Recommended)

If you want to let laratrust to setup by itselft, just run the following command:

php artisan laratrust:setup

This command will generate the migrations, create the Role and Permission models and will add the trait to the configured user models.

Note

The user trait will be added to the Model configured in the auth.php file.

And then do not forget to run:

composer dump-autoload

Important

If you did the steps above you are done with the configuration, if not, please read and follow the whole configuration process
