Spatie is a webdesign agency in Antwerp, Belgium. You'll find an overview of all our open source projects on our website.

Support us

We invest a lot of resources into creating best in class open source packages. You can support us by buying one of our paid products.

We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on our contact page. We publish all received postcards on our virtual postcard wall.

Postcardware

You're free to use this package (it's MIT-licensed), but if it makes it to your production environment you are required to send us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using.

Our address is: Spatie, Kruikstraat 22, 2018 Antwerp, Belgium.

The best postcards will get published on the open source page on our website.

Install

You can install the package via Composer:

$ composer require spatie/laravel-littlegatekeeper

Start by registering the package's the service provider:

// config/app.php (L5)

'providers' => [
  // ...
  'Spatie\LittleGateKeeper\LittleGateKeeperServiceProvider',
],

Next, publish the config files:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\LittleGateKeeper\LittleGateKeeperServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Finally, register the middleware:

// app/Http/Kernel.php

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    // ...
    'littlegatekeeper' => \Spatie\LittleGateKeeper\AuthMiddleware::class,
];

Usage

First set up the username and password in your configuration file or .env file

In your .env file add:

// ...
GATEKEEPER_USERNAME=Choose_your_username
GATEKEEPER_PASSWORD=Choose_your_secret_password

You can protect your routes by applying the middleware:

Route::get('/', ['middleware' => 'littlegatekeeper', function () {
    return view('protectedpage');
}]);

If a user isn't logged in, he will be redirected to the url set in the config file (littlegatekeeper.authRoute).
