Add method in Role model

[swimlappy]

Hello,

Would it be possible to have a scope method added to the Role model to return a list of available roles? Something like this for example

    public function scopeOrderedList($query)
    {
        return $query->orderBy('name')->lists('name', 'id');
    }

For example, this would be useful when building select boxes for someone to choose a role from.

$roles = Role::orderedList()->toArray();

Then pass that into a view.

Thanks

You can add your own methods to the role model by extending it:

namespace App;

use Silber\Bouncer\Database\Role as BaseRole;

class Role extends BaseRole
{
    public function scopeOrderedList($query)
    {
        return $query->orderBy('name')->lists('name', 'id');
    }
}

Once you've created your own extended model, simply tell Bouncer to use it:

Bouncer::useRoleModel(\App\Role::class);

Stick that into your AppServiceProvider's boot method, and you're good to go!

Excellent! That keeps things clean. Thanks! And I really like Bouncer, perfect for an app I'm working on!

Hi, is this still the way to go? Because with last versions (Laravel 5.5.14, Bouncer v1.0.0-beta.4) if I change the RoleModel with Bouncer::useRoleModel(\App\Role::class), I get "This action is unauthorized".

Thanks!

Edit: The problem was that the permission table had "roles" for entity_type, and now it should be "App\Modes\Role", which is my namespace. Odd that it wasn't originally "Silber\Bouncer\Database\Role"
