The idea here is simple: implement a permission system within Laravel with similar functionality to Spigot and the various permission plugins that exist.
There are a few specific goals
- Permission syntax:
module.group.group.action, where there can be as many groups chained as necessary - Allow permissions to be registered with a default value of
true/false - Allow permissions to be assigned to users with a defined value of
true/false - Allow permissions to be assigned to user roles with a defined value of
true/false - Allow permissions such as
module.group.*to be assigned to explicitly allow/deny any permissions within a group - Allow a sytax such as
$user->hasPermission('a.b.c'), where permissions are checked as follows:- check if the user has the permission allowed directly
- Check if the user's role allows this permission
- Return the default value of the permission
In the ideal, this would all run through Laravel's Gates, allowing permission checks to work in Blade templates as well.
