Webinfinita Simple Blog for Laravel 5 (BETA)
Note: Don't use this package just yet. Work in progress., (*1)
This is a simple blog package for laravel 5, the goal is to provide a starting point to a scalable blog post., (*2)
Installation
First we need to install it through composer, (*3)
composer require "webinfinita/blog"
Then we need to add the service provider, (*4)
// config/app.php
<?php
return [
...
...
'providers' => [
...
...
'Webinfinita\Blog\Providers\BlogServiceProvider',
],
];
Publish the migration and views, (*5)
php artisan vendor:publish
We use a Trait to make a User have many Posts, (*6)
// app/User.php
<?php namespace App;
...
use Webinfinita\Blog\Traits\HasManyPosts;
class User extends Model implements ... {
use Authenticatable, CanResetPassword, HasManyPosts;
...
In order to restrict access to a Post that doesn't belong to a user we need to add a register a Middleware, (*7)
// app/Http/Kernel.php
<?php namespace App\Http;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Kernel as HttpKernel;
class Kernel extends HttpKernel {
...
protected $routeMiddleware = [
...
'post.owner' => 'Webinfinita\Blog\VerifyPostOwner',
];
}
