README
Laravel Keyable is a package that allows you to add API Keys to any model. This allows you to associate incoming requests with their respective models. You can also use Policies to authorize requests.
Installation
Require the givebutter/laravel-keyable
package in your composer.json
and update your dependencies:
composer require givebutter/laravel-keyable
Publish the migration and config files:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Givebutter\LaravelKeyable\KeyableServiceProvider"
Run the migration:
php artisan migrate
Usage
Add the Givebutter\LaravelKeyable\Keyable
trait to your model(s):
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Givebutter\LaravelKeyable\Keyable; class Account extends Model { use Keyable; // ... }
Add the auth.apiKey
middleware to the mapApiRoutes()
function in your App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider
file:
// ... protected function mapApiRoutes() { Route::prefix('api') ->middleware(['api', 'auth.apikey']) ->namespace($this->namespace . '\API') ->group(base_path('routes/api.php')); } // ...
The middleware will authenticate API requests, ensuring they contain an API key that is valid.
Generating API keys
You can generate new API keys by calling the createApiKey()
method from the Keyable
trait.
When you do so, it returns an instance of NewApiKey
, which is a simple class the contains the actual ApiKey
instance that was just created, and also contains the plain text api key, which is the one you should use to authenticate requests.
$newApiKey = $keyable->createApiKey(); $newApiKey->plainTextApiKey // This is the key you should use to authenticate requests $newApiKey->apiKey // The instance of ApiKey just created
You can also manually create API keys without using the createApiKey
from the Keyable
trait, in that case, the instance you get back will have a property called plainTextApikey
populated with the plain text API key.
$myApiKey = ApiKey::create([ 'keyable_id' => $account->getKey(), 'keyable_type' => Account::class, 'name' => 'My api key', ]); $myApiKey->plainTextApikey // Token to be used to authenticate requests
Keep in mind plainTextApikey
will only be populated immediately after creating the key.
Accessing keyable models in your controllers
The model associated with the key will be attached to the incoming request as keyable
:
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; class FooController extends Controller { public function index(Request $request) { $model = $request->keyable; // ... } }
Now you can use the keyable model to scope your associated API resources, for example:
return $model->foo()->get();
Keys Without Models
Sometimes you may not want to attach a model to an API key (if you wanted to have administrative access to your API). By default this functionality is turned off:
<?php return [ 'allow_empty_models' => true ];
Making Requests
By default, laravel-keyable uses bearer tokens to authenticate requests. Attach the API key to the header of each request:
Authorization: Bearer <key>
You can change where the API key is retrieved from by altering the setting in the keyable.php
config file. Supported options are: bearer
, header
, and parameter
.
<?php return [ 'mode' => 'header', 'key' => 'X-Authorization', ];
Need to pass the key as a URL parameter? Set the mode to parameter
and the key to the string you'll use in your URL:
<?php return [ 'mode' => 'parameter', 'key' => 'api_key' ];
Now you can make requests like this:
https://example.com/api/posts?api_key=<key>
Authorizing Requests
Laravel offers a great way to perform Authorization on incoming requests using Policies. However, they are limited to authenticated users. We replicate that functionality to let you authorize requests on any incoming model.
To begin, add the AuthorizesKeyableRequests
trait to your base Controller.php
class:
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; // ... use Givebutter\LaravelKeyable\Auth\AuthorizesKeyableRequests; class Controller extends BaseController { use AuthorizesKeyableRequests; }
Next, create the app/Policies/KeyablePolicies
folder and create a new policy:
<?php namespace App\Policies\KeyablePolicies; use App\Models\Post; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Givebutter\LaravelKeyable\Models\ApiKey; class PostPolicy { public function view(ApiKey $apiKey, Model $keyable, Post $post) { return !is_null($keyable->posts()->find($post->id)); } }
Lastly, register your policies in AuthServiceProvider.php
:
<?php namespace App\Providers; // ... use App\Models\Post; use App\Policies\KeyablePolicies\PostPolicy; use Givebutter\LaravelKeyable\Facades\Keyable; class AuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider { // ... protected $keyablePolicies = [ Post::class => PostPolicy::class ]; public function boot(GateContract $gate) { // ... Keyable::registerKeyablePolicies($this->keyablePolicies); } }
In your controller, you can now authorize the request using the policy by calling $this->authorizeKeyable(<ability>, <model>)
:
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers\PostController; use App\Models\Post; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; class PostController extends Controller { public function show(Post $post) { $this->authorizeKeyable('view', $post); // ... } }
Keyable Model Scoping
When using implicit model binding, you may wish to scope the first model such that it must be a child of the keyable model. Consider an example where we have a post resource:
use App\Models\Post; Route::get('/posts/{post}', function (Post $post) { return $post; });
You may instruct the package to apply the scope by invoking the keyableScoped
method when defining your route:
use App\Models\Post; Route::get('/posts/{post}', function (Post $post) { return $post; })->keyableScoped();
The benefits of applying this scope are two-fold. First, models not belonging to the keyable model are caught before the controller. That means you don't have to handle this repeatedly in the controller methods. Second, models that don't belong to the keyable model will trigger a 404 response instead of a 403, keeping information hidden about other users.
You may use this in tandem with Laravel's scoping to ensure the entire heirarchy has a parent-child relationship starting with the keyable model:
use App\Models\Post; use App\Models\User; Route::get('/users/{user}/posts/{post}', function (User $user, Post $post) { return $post; })->scopeBindings()->keyableScoped();
Artisan Commands
Generate an API key:
php artisan api-key:generate --id=1 --type="App\Models\Account" --name="My api key"
Delete an API key:
php artisan api-key:delete --id=12345
