Installation

Important

For newer versions please redirect to the new docs https://laratrust.santigarcor.me.

1. In order to install Laratrust in your Laravel project, just run the composer require command from your terminal:

   composer require "santigarcor/laratrust:4.0.*"
   

Note

If you are using Laravel 5.5 you don’t need to do steps 2 and 3.

2. Then in your config/app.php add the following to the providers array:

   Laratrust\LaratrustServiceProvider::class,
   

3. In the same config/app.php add the following to the aliases array:

   'Laratrust'   => Laratrust\LaratrustFacade::class,
   

4. Run the next command to publish all the configuration files:

   php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laratrust"
   

Warning

If this command did not publish any files, chances are, the Laratrust service provider hasn’t been registered. Try clearing your configuration cache:

php artisan config:clear

5. If you are going to use Middleware you also need to add the following to routeMiddleware array in app/Http/Kernel.php:

   'role' => \Laratrust\Middleware\LaratrustRole::class,
   'permission' => \Laratrust\Middleware\LaratrustPermission::class,
   'ability' => \Laratrust\Middleware\LaratrustAbility::class,
