README

A simple block for your Laravel app to prevent access without a known code, and to force to https if you wish.*

Installation

  • Install Blockade using composer: composer require konsulting/laravel-blockade

  • If you are using Laravel 5.5 or above, the package will make the service provider available for auto-discovery. If you are using an earlier version of Laravel, add Blockade's Service Provider to config/app.php

'providers' => [
    // Other service providers...

    Konsulting\Laravel\Blockade\BlockadeServiceProvider::class,
],
  • Add the middleware to your app/Http/Kernel.php
protected $middlewareGroups = [
        'web' => [
            ... Other middleware
            \Konsulting\Laravel\Blockade\IsBlocked::class,
            \Konsulting\Laravel\Blockade\ForceSecure::class,
        ],
        ... Other middleware groups
    ];

Only add the middleware you want to use.

  • Publish configuration and adjust for your site
php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Konsulting\\Laravel\\Blockade\\BlockadeServiceProvider --tag=config
  • Optionally publish views and adjust for your site
php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Konsulting\\Laravel\\Blockade\\BlockadeServiceProvider --tag=views
