Description

Laravel Prohibitions is a Laravel package that allows you to prohibit users from executing specific actions for a determined period of time.

Instead of relying on hard-coded checks or ad-hoc flags, this package introduces a sanction-based system where actions can be explicitly denied through well-defined rules.

The package also provides a Sanction model, which works as a preset of prohibited actions, making it easy to group multiple prohibitions under a single disciplinary rule — such as temporary bans, feature restrictions, or full account suspensions.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require kyrch/laravel-prohibitions

You can publish and run the migrations with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-prohibitions-migrations"
php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-prohibitions-config"

Usage

Setup

Add the HasSanctions trait to your User model:

use Kyrch\Prohibition\Traits\HasSanctions;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasSanctions;
}

You need to create your sanctions and prohibitions first. For example:

$prohibition = Prohibition::query()->create(['name' => 'update post']);

$sanction = Sanction::query()->create(['name' => 'posts']);

$prohibition->sanctions()->attach($sanction);

How to prohibit

Now you can use methods this packages provides, such as:

# Prohibit the user from updating any posts.
$user->prohibit('update post', now()->addWeek());

# Similar to roles, you can create a kind of "ban preset" that has a group of prohibitions.
$user->applySanction('posts', now()->addWeek());

# Check if user is prohibited from updating any post.
$user->isProhibitedFrom('update post');

It is recommended to use the isProhibitedFrom() method in your Gate::before or the before method in your policy class.

Events

There are two events: ModelProhibitionTriggered and ModelSanctionTriggered. If you don't want them enabled, you can disable it in the published config file.
