Laravel Enum Permissions

A Laravel package to easily generate permission classes with enums using Models *** This package uses Spatie/Permissions under the hood ***

Requirements

• PHP 8.1 or higher
• Laravel 10.0 or higher

Installation

composer require althinect/enum-permission

Configuration

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="enum-permission-config"

The configuration file will be published to config/enum-permission.php.

Configuration Options

return [
    'models_path' => 'Models', // Path to your models
    'user_model' => \App\Models\User::class, // Your User model
    'permissions' => [
        [
            'method' => 'viewAny',
            'arguments' => ['User $user'],
            'enum_case' => 'VIEW_ANY',
            'enum_value' => '{{modelName}}.viewAny'
        ],
        // ... other permissions
    ]
];

Usage

Generating Permission Enums

# Generate for a specific model
php artisan permission:make User

# Generate with policy
php artisan permission:make User --policy

# Interactive selection of models
php artisan permission:make

Syncing Permissions to Database

# Sync all permissions
php artisan permission:sync

# Clean existing permissions before sync
php artisan permission:sync --clean

Using Generated Permissions

// In your policies
public function view(User $user, Post $post): bool
{
    return $user->hasPermissionTo(PostPermission::VIEW);
}

Directory Structure

After generation, your files will be organized as follows:

app/
├── Models/
│   └── User.php
├── Permissions/
│   └── UserPermission.php
└── Policies/
    └── UserPolicy.php

Available Commands

• permission:make {model?} {--P|policy} - Generate permission enums
• permission:sync {--C|clean} - Sync permissions to database

Examples

Generated Permission Enum

namespace App\Permissions;

enum UserPermission: string
{
    case VIEW_ANY = 'User.viewAny';
    case VIEW = 'User.view';
    case CREATE = 'User.create';
    case UPDATE = 'User.update';
    case DELETE = 'User.delete';
    case RESTORE = 'User.restore';
    case FORCE_DELETE = 'User.forceDelete';
}

Using with Policies

use App\Permissions\UserPermission;

class UserPolicy
{
    public function view(User $user, User $model): bool
    {
        return $user->hasPermissionTo(UserPermission::VIEW);
    }
}
