Guidelines for moving from zizaco/entrust

[unitedworx]

Hi there just found this fork of zizaco/entrust and really really happy about it since entrust is kind of dead atm.

Any guidelines of moving from entrust to laratrast? Or I should simply swap packages along with namespaces and get going? I am using "zizaco/entrust": "master@dev"

I switched a few days ago. Just remove every reference to zizaco/entrust, run

composer remove zizaco/entrust

and go on installing santigarcor/laratrust as suggested in the docs.

@unitedworx do as @Naoray said

Thanks for the replies, was simply wondering if this is a drop-in replacement for entrust or a complete rewrite where I would need to refactor alot of my code. will give it a go in a few days and see how it goes

You don't have to throw out every line of code where you use the zizaco/entrust. Like when you create a role/permission or query them, cause they are used the same way in santigarcor/laratrust. Just delete the ServiceProvider/alias Reference in the config/app.php file, that's all you've to remove.

Remeber to call php artisan view:clear to delete all compiled views after you switch to Laratrust.
It took me 20 minutes to figure that out (my views kept looking for the "Entrust" class, obviously not finding it).
