Leaf Auth v2

Leaf auth is a simple but powerful module which comes with powerful functions for handling all your authentication needs.

v2 comes with tons of fixes, improvements and upgrades. Running on top of leaf db v2, it also has support for other database types like PostgreSQL, Sqlite and many more.

Installation

You can easily install Leaf using Composer.

composer require leafs/auth

Or with leaf db

leaf install auth

Basic Usage

After installing leaf auth, you need to connect to your database. v2 presents additional ways to achieve this.

connect

The connect method allows you to pass in your database connection parameters directly to leaf auth.

auth()->connect('127.0.0.1', 'dbname', 'username', 'password');

autoConnect

This method creates a database connection using your env variables.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=LEAF_DB_NAME
DB_USERNAME=LEAF_DB_USERNAME
DB_PASSWORD=

And call autoConnect in your app.

auth()->autoConnect();

db connection (v2 only)

Leaf auth now allows you to directly pass a PDO connection into leaf auth. This allows you to share your connection with leaf auth and avoid multiple connections.

$auth = new Leaf\Auth;
$auth->dbConnection($pdoConnecction);

This also means that you can share you leaf db v2 connection with leaf auth like this:

$auth = new Leaf\Auth;
$auth->dbConnection($db->connection());

Leaf db (auth v2 + leaf 3 only)

If you are using leaf auth in a leaf 3 app, you will have access to the auth global as shown in some of the above connections. Along with this, if you already have a leaf db connection, you no longer need to explicitly connect to your database. Leaf auth searches for a leaf db instance and connects to it automatically.

Note that this only works in a leaf 3 app and only if you already have a leaf db connection.

<?php

db()->connect('127.0.0.1', 'dbname', 'username', 'password');

// you can use auth straight away without any connect
auth()->login(...);

📚 Auth methods

After connecting your db, you can use any of the methods below.
