Admin scaffolding for Laravel

This package allows you to scafold a simple admin structure to your application. It's Laravel 8 compatible!

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require wdevkit/laravel-admin

You can publish and run the migrations with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Wdevkit\Admin\AdminServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"
php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Wdevkit\Admin\AdminServiceProvider" --tag="config"

You can publish the routes file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Wdevkit\Admin\AdminServiceProvider" --tag="routes"

You can publish the views files with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Wdevkit\Admin\AdminServiceProvider" --tag="views"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
];

Usage

Create Admin

To create a admin user, you can use the admin:create command.

php artisan admin:create

You will be asked to input a admin name, email, password and password confirmation. Alternatively, you can use the one line command to input all the required arguments:

php artisan admin:create "John Doe" [email protected] 1234 1234

Guard & User provider Structure

After publishing the migrations, the model Wdevkit\Admin\Models\Admin::class will be available. You can use this model to define a new user provider in the config/auth.php file:

return [

    'providers' => [
        'users' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
            'model' => App\User::class,
        ],

        // new user provider
        'admins' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
            'model' => Webdk\Admin\Models\Admin::class,
        ],
    ],
];

By creating the admins user provider, you can use it in your guards (web, api) or you can create a new guard which uses the admins user provider in the config/auth.php file:

return [

    'guards' => [
        'web' => [
            'driver' => 'session',
            'provider' => 'admins', // you can update the `web` guard to use the `admins` user provider
        ],

        // or you can create your own `guard` with the `admins` user provider.
        'web_admin' => [
            'driver' => 'session',
            'provider' => 'admins',
        ]
    ],
];

When using the auth structure with the web_admin guard, you should also update the app/Http/Middleware/Authenticate.php middleware to correctly redirect the request to the admin login route, by updating the redirectTo method:

protected function redirectTo($request)
{
    if (! $request->expectsJson()) {

        // ensure it will redirect to correct login route.
        if ($request->is('admin/*')) {
            return route('wdevkit_admin.login');
        }

        return route('login');
    }
}

And also update the method handle on the app/Http/Middleware/RedirectIfAuthenticated.php middleware to correctly redirect to the admin home page when already authenticated:

public function handle($request, Closure $next, ...$guards)
{
    $guards = empty($guards) ? [null] : $guards;

    foreach ($guards as $guard) {
        if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {

            // redirect to /admin/home when guard is web_admin
            if ($guard == 'web_admin') {
                return redirect('/admin/home');
            }

            return redirect(RouteServiceProvider::HOME);
        }
    }

    return $next($request);
}

Routing

The routes publishing will create a routes/admin.php routes file in your application. You can use this admin routes file to tweak the package routes accordingly to your needs. In this routes file, you can override the packages controllers as you wish. If the admin routes is not published, the default admin routes file from the package will be used.

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::name('wdevkit_admin.')->group(function () {

    Route::get('login', [\Wdevkit\Admin\Http\Controllers\LoginController::class, 'showLoginForm'])->name('login');
    Route::post('login', [\Wdevkit\Admin\Http\Controllers\LoginController::class, 'login'])->name('login_post');

    Route::middleware('auth:web_admin')->group(function () {
        Route::get('home', \Wdevkit\Admin\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class)->name('home');
    });
});

// you can place any other routes in here

Any routes placed in this file will have the /admin prefix and the web middleware applied by default.

Views

This package has its own view resources for the layout structure. You can override this files by publishing the views tag from the service provider. The package views files will be published in the resources/views/vendor/wdevkit_admin folder of your application.
