library laravel-mongo-auth

reshadman/laravel-mongo-auth

A native mongo db auth driver on Laravel 5's default auth module.

Laravel Native MongoDB Authentication Driver

This package does not require any external MongoDB related dependencies except the Php MongoDB Driver and simply uses Auth::extend() to extend the native Laravel Auth module., _(*1)

Installation

1. Run composer require reshadman/laravel-mongo-auth in your project's composer root.
2. Add the Reshadman\LmAuth\LmAuthServiceProvider service provider to your app.
3. Run php artisan vendor:publish command to generate package config files.
4. In auth.php config set the driver to lmauth :

<?php return [
    //...
    'driver' => 'lmauth'
];

Approach

An instance of MongoCollection is passed to \Reshadman\LmAuth\MongoDbUserProvider like below :, _(*2)

From \Reshadman\LmAuth\LmAuthServiceProvider :, _(*3)

<?php
$this->app['auth']->extend('lmauth', function(Application $app){

    $config = $app['config']->get('lmauth');

    return new MongoDbUserProvider(
        $app['lmauth.collection'], // Should be bound to an instance of \MongoCollection
        $app['hash'],
        $config
    );

});

The above code needs $app['lmauth.collection'] to be available in IoC container which is an instance of MongoCollection. If you set the use_default_collection_provider config option to true, the package will create a new binding for that., _(*4)

You may also create your own driver with another driver name and pass your own config and mongo collection instance to it., _(*5)

<?php
Auth::extend('my-lmauth', function($app) {
    $config = $app['config']->get('lmauth'); // or your desired
    $mongoCollection = $app['global_mongo_connection']->myDb->myCollection;

    return new \Reshadman\LmAuth\MongoDbUserProvider($mongoCollection, $app['hash'], $config);
});

The default_connection_closure config

If you pass a closure to this config key then the package will use this closure to get the MongoClient connection to connect to mongodb. Usefull when using Doctrine Mongo db package or alternatives., _(*6)

<?php return [
    //...
    'default_connection_closure' => function($app) {
        return new \MongoClient('192.168.0.2:27013'); // or $app['mongo.singleton_connection']
    }
];

If you set the above option to null the the package will use a singleton shared instance ( new \MongoClient()) which has lmauth.connection key in the container., _(*7)
