An easy and flexible Laravel authorization and roles permission management

In many projects, we need to implement a role-based permissions management system for our users. Although Laravel has the best tools to manage users' permissions, I build this package to make it simpler, more flexible, and to avoid duplicate work in many web projects built on Laravel.

The idea is to use this package as easy and as flexible as possible.
This package creates a list of all your routes and assigns these permissions list to user roles.
Although the laravel-permission package does most of the work, you could easily extend it and implement your authorization system.

Start with installing the package through the composer. Run this command in your terminal:

$ composer require amir/laravel-permission

After that, you need to run the migration files:

$ php artisan migrate

This package adds a role_id to the users table. Roles are stored in the roles table. You can assign a role to a user in your administrator panel or by creating a seed file.
Then, you only need to assign auth.role middleware to your routes.

Besides middleware and other route settings, you can use a role key in your route groups to assign a role to your routes.
You can put your routes for a role in a Route group like this:

Route::group([
    'middleware' => 'auth.role',
    'prefix' => ...,
    'role' => ['admin', 'customer'],
    ...
],function (){
    ...
    Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');
    Route::get('/product', 'ProductController@index');
    ...
});

Of course, you can have as many as route groups like this.
Then you need to run this artisan command to register all permissions:

$ php artisan permissions:generate 

This command will register all permissions and assign permissions to the roles.
If you add a fresh option to this command, it will delete all data and generate fresh permissions data:

$ php artisan permissions:generate --fresh

The php artisan permissions:generate command will make all roles defined in the routes if they are not exist.
Also, You can create a seeder to fill the roles table. It takes only a name field.
Your RolesSeeser file can look like this.

Role::firstOrCreate(['name' => 'admin']);
Role::firstOrCreate(['name' => 'customer']);

Don't forget to import the Role model in your seeder.

use Amir\Permission\Models\Role;

To clear registered permissions you can run this command:

$ php artisan permissions:clear

You can use this command to clear all permissions data for a specific role

$ php artisan permissions:clear --roles role1 role2

To erase only permissions list, run permissions:clear command with this option:

$ php artisan permissions:clear --tables permissions

To clear all roles:

$ php artisan permissions:clear --tables roles

To clear only permissions role relation:

$ php artisan permissions:clear --tables permission_role

This command erases all permissions assigned to roles, so you can regenerate permissions

Also, you can use these options in combination:

$ php artisan permissions:clear --roles admin --tables permission_role

I used this Laravel permission management method in my projects for a while. It made manging Laravel permission easy and flexible for me. I hope it helps you as well. All pull requests are welcome.
