Add additional filter class to composer package

replied 9 years ago

You could maybe do something like this if you don't send the X-Auth-Token for the public pages.

Route::filter('ForPublicPages',function($request,$response){
  $payload = Request::header('X-Auth-Token');
//If the X-Auth-Token exists in the header    
if($payload){   
    $this->driver = New AuthTokenDriver();
    $this->events = New Dispatcher;
    
    $user = $this->driver->validate($payload);

    $this->events->fire('auth.token.valid',$user);
    }
});

I'm think I'm missing something. I'm still getting the same issue. The whole IoC/App::/__construct concepts, despite doing all the tutorials I can find, doesn't want to click in my head

Solution

The AuthToken package has a facade you can use inside your app, if you add the following to the aliases section of app/config/app.php

'AuthToken' => 'Tappleby\Support\Facades\AuthToken',

Your filter would then look something like:

Route::filter('ForPublicPages',function($request,$response)
{
	$payload = Request::header('X-Auth-Token');
	//If the X-Auth-Token exists in the header
	if($payload){
		$user = AuthToken::validate($payload);

		if ($user) {
			Event::fire('auth.token.valid',$user);
		}
	}
});

Awesome!

With IoC its all about keeping the initialization of your dependencies outside of your class/code. In this case, the filter doesnt need to know how to make the AuthTokenDriver. Instead it just says "I dont care how you make it, but I need an AuthTokenDriver"

The App (Container) acts as central point to ask these questions, using App::make(). ServiceProviders are generally used to bind the answers to these questions, you can see the bindings for the AuthTokenDriver here:

https://github.com/tappleby/laravel-auth-token/blob/master/src...

Technically its an AuthTokenManager which is used to swap driver types eg. database, redis etc. but thats another topic.

We could then use something like:

$authTokenDriver = App::make('tappleby.auth.token');
$user = $authTokenDriver->validate($authToken);

Facades give us a cleaner way to work with App::make, You can see the getFacadeAccessor method in https://github.com/tappleby/laravel-auth-token/blob/master/src... returns the same string we used with App::make above.

A call to the AuthToken facade will go through App::make first.
