⚠️ Status: Experimental / Proof of Concept

This package is an experimental multi-authentication scaffolder for Laravel 10+, created as a learning and exploration project around Laravel authentication internals.

It is published on Packagist for educational and prototyping purposes and is not recommended for production use.

Originally forked and upgraded from
alaminfirdows/laravel-multi-auth.

🎯 Purpose of This Package

This project was built to explore and demonstrate:

Laravel authentication guards
Dynamic modification of config/auth.php
Artisan command development
Code scaffolding (models, migrations, routes, controllers)
Package structure and Packagist publishing

✨ Features (Experimental)

Scaffold multiple authentication guards (e.g. Admin, Teacher, Manager)
Auto-generates:
- Models (App\Models\{Guard})
- Migrations
- Controllers
- Route files (routes/{guard}.php)
Updates authentication configuration
Custom Artisan command

⚠️ Behaviour may be unstable across Laravel versions.

⚙️ Installation (For Testing / Learning Only)

composer require skyhacker/laravel-multi-auth

🚀 Usage Example

php artisan laravel-multi-auth:install Admin -f

This attempts to scaffold:

Admin model
Admin migration
Admin routes
Admin authentication controllers

🧪 Stability Notice

This package:

May break on newer Laravel updates
Has not been battle-tested in production
Is intended as a learning artifact, not a drop-in solution

If you need production-ready multi-auth, consider:

Laravel Fortify
Laravel Breeze with multiple guards
Custom guard implementations

📦 Packagist

This package is published on Packagist to demonstrate:

Composer package creation
Semantic versioning
Open-source documentation practices

🧠 Lessons Learned

Through this project, I gained hands-on experience with:

Laravel authentication internals
Artisan command development
Package publishing workflows
API design trade-offs
