README

This package allows you to add a HTTP Basic Auth filter on your routes, without the need to use a database – which the Laravel default simple-basic-auth- middleware relies on.

On failed authentication the user will get a "401 Unauthorized" response.

Installation

Via Composer

$ composer require hryha/simple-basic-auth

This package uses Package Auto-Discovery for loading the service provider

If you would like to manually add the provider, turn off Auto-Discovery for the package in your composer.json-file:

"extra": {
    "laravel": {
        "dont-discover": [
            "hryha/simple-basic-auth"
        ]
    }
},

And then add the provider in the providers array (config/app.php).

'providers' => [
    Hryha\SimpleBasicAuth\SimpleBasicAuthServiceProvider::class
]

Configuration

Run the command $ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Hryha\SimpleBasicAuth\SimpleBasicAuthServiceProvider" to directly publish the files.

The file simple-basic-auth.php will then be copied to your app/config folder – here you can set various logins and passwords.

Usage

The middleware uses the simple-basic-auth filter to protect routes. You can either use Route::group() to protect multiple routes, or chose just to protect them individually.

Group

Route::group(['middleware' => 'simple-basic-auth'], function() {
    ...
});

Single

Route::get('/', ['middleware' => 'simple-basic-auth']);

You may also set the user logins inline;

Route::get('/', ['middleware' => 'simple-basic-auth:login1,login2']);
