A Simple Laravel Package for handling multiple authentication, _(*2)

• Laravel: 5.1.*
• Author: Sarav
• Author Homepage: http://sarav.co

Check working sample code of this project here, _(*3)

Step 1 : Require Composer package

Open your terminal and navigate to your laravel folder. Now run the following command, _(*4)

composer require sarav/laravel-multiauth

or, _(*5)

"require": {
    "sarav/laravel-multiauth": "^0.0.7"
}

Step 2 : Replacing default auth service provider

Replace  "Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class" with "Sarav\Multiauth\MultiauthServiceProvider::class", _(*6)

Step 3 : Modify auth.php

Modify auth.php file from the config directory to something like this, _(*7)

'multi' => [
    'user' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model'  => App\User::class,
        'table'  => 'users'
    ],
    'admin' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model'  => App\Admin::class,
        'table'  => 'admins'
    ]
 ],

Note : I have set second user as admin here. Feel free to change yours but don't forget to add its respective driver, model and table., _(*8)

We are done! Now you can simply login user/admin like the following code, _(*9)

\Auth::loginUsingId("user", 1); // Login user with id 1

\Auth::loginUsingId("admin", 1); // Login user with id 1

// Attempts to login user with email id johndoe@gmail.com 
\Auth::attempt("user", ['email' => 'johndoe@gmail.com', 'password' => 'password']);

// Attempts to login admin with email id johndoe@gmail.com
\Auth::attempt("admin", ['email' => 'johndoe@gmail.com', 'password' => 'password']); 

Simply pass the first parameter as key which you have configured in auth.php to perform authentication for either user or admin., _(*10)

Improved Guard Class

Now you can pass Guard class easily through nice "with" function., _(*11)

$auth = $auth->with('admin');
