Description

This package provides an easy way to authorize custom methods when using

class UserController extends Controller{

    public function __construct(){
        $this->authorizeResource(User::class,'user');
    }
}

which only works for default resource routes show, create, edit, store, update and destroy

Simple Usage

Step 1:

First you will need to remove AuthorizesRequests trait and add/use ExtendedAuthorizesRequest trait in your app/Http/Controllers/Controller.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\DispatchesJobs;
use Illuminate\Routing\Controller as BaseController;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Validation\ValidatesRequests;
use ExtendedResourceAuthorization\Auth\Access\ExtendedAuthorizesRequests;

class Controller extends BaseController
{
    use ExtendedAuthorizesRequests, DispatchesJobs, ValidatesRequests;
}

Note:

There are 2 arguments that can be passed through controller i.e.

$extendedResourceAbilities = [
                    'controller_resource_method_name' => 'policy_resource_ability_name',
                    'custom_resource_method' => 'custom_resource_method_policy',
                    'custom_resource_method_without_model' => 'custom_resource_method_without_model'
                ];

$extendResourceMethodsWithoutModels = ['custom_resource_method_without_model'];

and

There are 2 properties which can be set on the respective model i.e.

/**
* The extended resource abilities which should be authorized when using authorizeResource
*
* @var array
*/
public static $extendedResourceAbilities = [
                                  'controller_resource_method_name' => 'policy_resource_ability_name',
                                  'custom_resource_method' => 'custom_resource_method_policy',
                                  'custom_resource_method_without_model' => 'custom_resource_method_without_model'
                              ];

/**
* The extended resource methods without models which should be authorized when using authorizeResource
*
* @var array
*/
public static $extendResourceMethodsWithoutModels = ['custom_resource_method_without_model'];

Use Through Controller:

Pass both arguments through controller

class BookController extends Controller{

        public function __construct(){
        
            $extendedResourceAbilities = [
                'controller_resource_method_name' => 'policy_resource_ability_name',
                'custom_resource_method' => 'custom_resource_method_policy',
                'custom_resource_method_without_model' => 'custom_resource_method_without_model'
            ];
            
            $extendResourceMethodsWithoutModels = ['custom_resource_method_without_model'];
            
            $this->authorizeResource(Book::class,'book',[],null,$extendedResourceAbilities,$extendedResourceMethodsWithoutModels);
        }
    } 

Use Through Model:

You will need to change in every model you create

Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model

to

ExtendedResourceAuthorization\Model 

Define both properties in the model

class Book extends Model {

    /**
        * The extended resource abilities which should be authorized when using authorizeResource
        *
        * @var array
        */
        public static $extendedResourceAbilities = [
                                          'controller_resource_method_name' => 'policy_resource_ability_name',
                                          'custom_resource_method' => 'custom_resource_method_policy',
                                          'custom_resource_method_without_model' => 'custom_resource_method_without_model'
                                      ];
                                      
    
        /**
        * The extended resource methods without models which should be authorized when using authorizeResource
        *
        * @var array
        */
        public static $extendResourceMethodsWithoutModels = ['custom_resource_method_without_model'];
        
}

If you are using laravel default auth and User model then you need to change

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

to

use ExtendedResourceAuthorization\User as Authenticatable;

By completing Step 1 you can use this by Use Through Controller

Precedence

Use Through Controller takes precedence over Use Through Model

Advance Usage

You can explore the package and use traits provided by the package i.e. AuthorizesRequest, HasExtendedResourceAuthorization, for controller and model respectively
