Sentra for Laravel

A lightweight Laravel roles and permissions package using Backed Enums.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require statix/sentra

You should publish the config file with the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="sentra"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [

    /**
     * The backed enum class that will be used to define your roles.
     */
    'roles_enum' => 'App\Enums\Roles',

    /**
     * The backed enum class that will be used to define your permissions.
     */
    'permissions_enum' => 'App\Enums\Permissions',

];

Usage

To get started, create two string backed Enums - one of your roles and one for your permissions.

php artisan make:enum "App\Enums\Roles" --string
php artisan make:enum "App\Enums\Permissions" --string

If you create your enums in a different namespace or different name, be sure to update the roles_enum and permissions_enum in the sentra.php config file.

Then add the AsRole trait to your Roles enum.

<?php

namespace App\Enums;

use Statix\Sentra\Attributes\Roles\Describe;
use Statix\Sentra\Concerns\AsRole;

enum Roles: string
{
    use AsRole;
}

And add the AsPermission trait to your Permissions enum.

<?php

namespace App\Enums;

use Statix\Sentra\Attributes\Permissions\Describe;
use Statix\Sentra\Concerns\AsPermission;

enum Permissions: string
{
    use AsPermission;
}

You are now ready to start defining your roles and permissions.

<?php

namespace App\Enums;

use Statix\Sentra\Attributes\Roles\Describe;
use Statix\Sentra\Concerns\AsRole;

enum Permissions: string
{
    use AsPermission;

    #[Describe(
        label: 'Create Posts', 
        description: 'Create new posts'
        roles: [
            Roles::SuperAdmin,
            Roles::Admin
        ]
    )]
    case CreatePosts = 'create-posts';

    #[Describe(
        label: 'Edit Posts', 
        description: 'Edit existing posts'
        roles: [
            Roles::SuperAdmin,
            Roles::Admin,
            Roles::StandardUser
        ]
    )]
    case EditPosts = 'edit-posts';

    #[Describe(
        label: 'Delete Posts', 
        description: 'Delete existing posts'
        roles: [
            Roles::SuperAdmin,
            Roles::Admin
        ]
    )]
    case DeletePosts = 'delete-posts';
}

<?php

namespace App\Enums;

use Statix\Sentra\Attributes\Roles\Describe;
use Statix\Sentra\Concerns\AsRole;

enum Roles: string
{
    use AsRole;

    #[Describe(
        label: 'Super Admin', 
        description: 'The highest level of access'
    )]
    case SuperAdmin;

    #[Describe(
        label: 'Admin', 
        description: 'Admin level access'
    )]
    case Admin = 'admin';

    #[Describe(
        label: 'Standard User', 
        description: 'Standard user access'
    )]
    #[Describe('User')]
    case StandardUser = 'user';
}
