Installation

1. Install the package via Composer:

   composer require zohaib482/laravel-simple-rbac

2. Publish configuration, views and migrations,Seeder:

   php artisan vendor:publish --tag=simple-rbac-config
   php artisan vendor:publish --tag=simple-rbac-views
   php artisan vendor:publish --tag=simple-rbac-migrations

Seeding Roles and Permissions

After publishing and running migrations, you need to seed the default roles and permissions:

Publish the seeder (if not already published):

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=simple-rbac-seeders

Run the seeder:

php artisan db:seed --class=RbacSeeder

Or add it to your DatabaseSeeder.php:

public function run(): void
 {
     $this->call([
         RbacSeeder::class,
         // Your other seeders...
     ]);
 }
 ```

3. Run migrations and seed default roles/permissions:

```bash
php artisan migrate

4. Add the HasRoles trait to your User model (app/Models/User.php):

```php
 use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
 use Zohaib482\SimpleRbac\Traits\HasRoles;

 class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail
 {
     use HasRoles;

     // ... other traits and properties
 }

Quick Usage Examples

Assign roles

 $user->assignRole('admin');
 $user->assignRole('editor', 'moderator'); // multiple

Check roles & permissions

$user->hasRole('admin');                        // true/false
 $user->hasAnyRole(['admin', 'editor']);         
 $user->hasPermissionTo('manage-users');        

Protect routes with middleware

 Route::middleware(['auth', 'verified', 'role:admin'])->group(function () {
     Route::get('/admin', [AdminController::class, 'index']);
 });

Blade directives

@role('admin')
 <p>Welcome, Administrator!</p>
@endrole

@permission('manage-users')
 <a href="/users">Manage Users</a>
@endpermission

Configuration

After publishing, edit config/simplerbac.php:

return [
 'user_model'           => App\Models\User::class,
 'default_role'         => 'user',
 'redirect_after_login' => '/dashboard',
 'email_verification'   => true,
];
