README

This package allows your users to be remembered by Laravel across multiple devices.

By default laravel stores the "remember" token in the users table as a singular column, which is an issue when more than one device stores a "remember token"

Installation

Laravel

This package can be used in Laravel 5.4 or higher. It's not tested on older versions as of yet.

You can install the package via composer:

composer require ltsochev/eloquent-devices

Afterwards you'll need to register the service provider in your config/app.php file as follows:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Ltsochev\Auth\ServiceProvider::class,
]

make sure it's added after Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider and Illuminate\Session\SessionServiceProvider so that we are certain the Laravel Auth driver is already loaded.

Two more settings need to be added to config/auth.php file.

'token_table' => 'user_tokens',
'driver_name' => 'eloquentdevices',

Once done, you'll have to run migrations for the package

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Ltsochev\Auth\ServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"
php artisan migrate

And finally, you'll have to replace the auth driver in your auth config file. It's easily done by changing the config/auth.php file accordingly:

//...
'driver' => 'eloquentdevices',

You can change the name of the abstraction by changing the value of driver_name in your config file.

And that's it! Your users will be remembered across multiple devices.

IMPORTANT! The package does not have automated garbage collect as of yet. You'll have to bake in something on your own for this one.
