XF2Bridge

Simple Laravel Auth Bridge Xenforo 2 package...

Fork of URB/XenforoBridge which is refactored to be utilized in Xenforo 2 without legacy support.

Installation

Install the XenforoBridge package with Composer by adding the folowing to your composer.json file.

{
    "require": {
        "swede2k/xf2bridge": "dev-master"
    },
    "repositories": [
        { 
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/swede2k/xf2bridge"
        }
],
}

If you don't use auto-discovery, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

swede2k\XF2Bridge\XF2BridgeServiceProvider::class

Add this to your facades in app.php:

'XF2Bridge' => swede2k\XF2Bridge\Facades\XF2Bridge::class,

Then publish the config file with

php artisan vendor:publish --provider=swede2k\XF2Bridge\XF2BridgeServiceProvider

This will add the file 'config/xf2bridge.php'. This is where you will place the needed configurations to use the Xenforo Bridge. Within this config file you will need to supply the full directory path to your XenForo installation and the base url path like the example below

return array(
    'xenforo_directory_path' => 'FULL PATH HERE', //full path to xenforo 2 forum
    'xenforo_base_url_path'  => '/', //Default '/', //auth redirect uri
    'use_xenforo_auth'       => true,
);

Installing Middleware

To install Middleware you wil need to open up the app\Http\Kernel.php and the following middleware to either global middleware array or the routeMiddleware array.

Here is an example adding to the routeMiddleware array

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    'xen.auth' => 'swede2k\XF2Bridge\Middleware\XenAuthMiddleware',
    'xen.auth.admin' => 'swede2k\XF2Bridge\Middleware\XenAuthAdminMiddleware',
];

You can then use them in your routes like so

Route::get('/example', ['middleware' => 'xen.auth',function(){
	//Do stuff
}]);

or you can use them in your controllers themselves

class SampleController extends Controller {

    function __construct()
    {

        $this->middleware('xen.auth');
    }
    
}

or you can add guard in file 'config/auth.php':

'xf2bridge' => [
    'driver' => 'xf2bridge',
    'provider' => 'users',
],

and use guard:

Auth::guard('xf2bridge')->id(); //get user id
Auth::guard('xf2bridge')->user(); //get user object
Auth::guard('xf2bridge')->check; //chech user login
etc...

or use alias methods:

\XF2Bridge::getVisitor(); //get user object
\XF2Bridge::isLoggedIn(); //chech user login
etc...
