Utilities

Making laravel more practical

Database

Model

• Usage: Just extends fk\utility\Database\Eloquent\Model
• functionality

  • Add approach to get the sql to be executed. It's available by calling

    <?php
    
    use fk\utility\Database\Eloquent\Model;
    /** @var  \fk\utility\Database\Eloquent\Builder $model */
    $model = Model::find(1);
    $model->rawSql();
    // or simply call, witch applies the __toString method
    echo $model;

    In fact, it works for any method that returns a fk\utility\Database\Eloquent\Builder

  • Modify pagination

    • add access to custom fields when calling toArray
    • add access to toFKStyle

  • Model::select related

    Being able to using alias like following, see \fk\utility\Database\Query\Builder::select for more

    <?php
    
      \fk\utility\Database\Eloquent\Model::select(['alias' => ['fields']]);

Request

• Class
  • fk\utility\Http\Request
• Usage
  • Capture at public/index.php

  # index.php, replace the default capture
  $response = $kernel->handle(
      $request = \fk\utility\Http\Request::capture()
  );
  

  • Extends or use it for IOC
  • Register it's alias as request, to ensure every instance fallback to the singleton instance used to capture at entry index.php

  # AppServiceProvider.php
  public function reigster()
  {
      $this->app->alias('request', \fk\utility\Http\Request::class);
  }
  

• Functionality
  • Add support for Content-Type multipart/form-data for method PUT

Session

Allow session to be actually applied just when called. Not when requested. This is useful for RESTFul APIs, for some doesn't need a session.

AppServiceProvider

<?php

class AppServiceProvider {
    
    public function register()
    {
        $this->app->register(\fk\utility\Session\SessionServiceProvider::class);
    }
}

or add to config/app.php

<?php

[
    'providers' => [
        fk\utility\Session\SessionServiceProvider::class
    ]
];

Also remember cancel registering of the \Illuminate\Session\SessionServiceProvider

At last, you should set the config/session.php add

'auto_start' => true,

Also, remember to disable Laravel's start-on-every-request feature by comment the following if exists

# app\Http\Kernel

public $middlewares = [
//    \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
]

If you have your own rule of session id, you can overwrite the \fk\utility\Session\SessionServiceProvider::getAccessToken to achieve that

Easy Authentication

Register Service Provider

fk\utility\Auth\Session\SessionGuardServiceProvider

Config

<?php

# auth.php

return [
    'guards' => [
        'api' => [
            'driver' => 'easy.token',
            'model' => \App\Models\User::class, // The model to retrieve user from
        ]
    ]
];

PHPUnit

TestCase

• Class: fk\utility\Foundation\Testing\TestCase

• Benefits: Output for json would be human readable for Chinese characters

• Usage:

  <?php
  
  use \fk\utility\Foundation\Testing\TestCase;
  
  class YourTest extends TestCase
  {
      // Write your own `CreateApplication`
      // OR
      // Write a `createApplication` method here
      use CreateApplication;
  }

ACL Check

• Class: fk\utility\Auth\Middleware\AclAuthenticate

• Usages:

  • Create your own authentication class to place your rules

    <?php
    
    namespace App\Http\Middleware;
    
    use fk\utility\Auth\Middleware\AclAuthenticate;
    
    class MyAuthenticate extends AclAuthenticate
    {
        public function authenticate(): bool
        {
            // Write your own authentication here
            // If false returned, a `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\AccessDeniedHttpException` exception will be thrown
            // otherwise, authentication will pass.
            // Feel free to throw any kind of exceptions that fits you
        }
    }

  • Register at App\Http\Kernel

      <?php
    
      class Kernel
      {
    
          protected $routeMiddleware = [
              'auth.acl' => \App\Http\Middleware\MyAuthenticate::class,
          ];
      }

  • Good to go. Define a route using middleware auth.acl

      <?php
    
      Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth.acl'], function () {
          Route::get('sth', 'SomeController@someMethod');
          // ... stuff
      });
