i'm writing an application in Laravel Spark 1.0 (Laravel 5.2). I wrote a custom middleware for agent (api) authentication. This is the code:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use App\Agent;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class AgentAuth
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure $next
* @return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if( isset($request->token) && !empty($request->token) )
{
$agent = Agent::where('token', '=', $request->token)->first();
if( $agent != NULL )
{
$team = $agent->Team()->first();
$user = $team->User()->first();
$request->merge(['team' => $team ]);
$request->merge(['user' => $user ]);
return $next($request);
}
else {
return response('Unauthorized 2.', 401);
}
}
else {
return response('Unauthorized 1.', 401);
}
}
}
In the default laravel authentication the user object is injected in the request (see laravel docs): https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/authentication#retrieving-the-authenticated-user
So you can retrieve the user using:
$request->user();
Spark obviously use this method to check if user subscription is valid (laravel\spark\src\Http\Middleware\VerifyUserIsSubscribed):
if ($this->subscribed($request->user(), $subscription, $plan, func_num_args() === 2)) {
return $next($request);
}
And it's not working because, with my middleware, you can retrieve the user using: $request->user;
but not with the laravel defaults $request->user();
How should i inject the user object into the request?
Thank you in advance
EDIT:
Laravel in the service provider (Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider@registerRequestRebindHandler)
Use this code to bind object user to the request:
/**
* Register a resolver for the authenticated user.
*
* @return void
*/
protected function registerRequestRebindHandler()
{
$this->app->rebinding('request', function ($app, $request) {
$request->setUserResolver(function ($guard = null) use ($app) {
return call_user_func($app['auth']->userResolver(), $guard);
});
});
}
I tried to insert this code, with the appropriate correction, in the middleware but i can't figure out how to make it work.
I don't have a copy of Spark to try this & ensure what I'm doing is correct for you, but I think this will help:
1) An assumption - I believe you are saying that yes, this line will get you the user you want:
$user = $team->User()->first();
and you merely want to bind it to the request so that you can access this user later in your app via:
$request->user()
2) If this is true, then all I did was simplify the code you provided to add:
$request->merge(['user' => $user ]);
//add this
$request->setUserResolver(function () use ($user) {
return $user;
});
// if you dump() you can now see the $request has it
dump($request->user());
return $next($request);
I also $request->user() in the route closure, and it is there.
The app rebinding was a little strange to me, and didn't seem necessary. I'm not sure that anything would really need this for what you are doing.
