Wordpress Auth Driver for Laravel

Laravel	wordpress-auth-driver-laravel
5.2 to 5.5	^1.0
5.6 to 8.x	^2.0

Installation

To install this package you will need

• At least Laravel 5.6 (for older versions of laravel)
• PHP 7.1 (or depending on your Laravel version)

The best way to install this package is with the help of composer. Run

composer require ahsankhatri/wordpress-auth-provider

or install it by adding it to composer.json then run composer update

"require": {
    "ahsankhatri/wordpress-auth-provider": "^2.0",
}

Setup

Once you have installed this package from the composer, make sure to follow the below steps to configure.

To register authentication guard.

config/auth.php

'guards' => [
    ...,
    'wordpress' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'wordpress',
    ],

'providers' => [
    ...,
    'wordpress' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent.wordpress',
        'model' => MrShan0\WordpressAuth\Models\WordpressUser::class,
    ],

'passwords' => [
    ...,
    'wordpress' => [
        'provider' => 'wordpress',
        'table' => 'password_resets',
        'expire' => 60,
    ],

Publish config file (optional)

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="MrShan0\WordpressAuth\WordpressAuthServiceProvider"

It will publish config file (config/wordpress-auth.php) where you can define your own connection type e.g wp-mysql. Make sure to fill prefix in config/database.php for wp_ prefix in your tables if you're using prefix in wordpress tabels.

For example:

'wp-mysql' => [
    'driver' => 'mysql',
    'host' => env('WP_DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
    'port' => env('WP_DB_PORT', '3306'),
    'database' => env('WP_DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
    'username' => env('WP_DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
    'password' => env('WP_DB_PASSWORD', ''),
    'unix_socket' => env('WP_DB_SOCKET', ''),
    'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
    'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
    'prefix' => 'wp_',
    'prefix_indexes' => true,
    'strict' => true,
    'engine' => null,
],

Add following option along if using Laravel v7 (optional)

    // ...
    'url' => env('DATABASE_URL'),
    'options' => extension_loaded('pdo_mysql') ? array_filter([
        PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => env('MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA'),
    ]) : [],

Configuration

password_resets table (from Laravel default auth mechanism) is required to hold reset password token. If you do not have password_resets table then use this migration instead

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreatePasswordResetsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('password_resets', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->string('email')->index();
            $table->string('token');
            $table->timestamp('created_at')->nullable();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('password_resets');
    }
}

Extension

Alternatively, if you want to use a custom user model, you should have it extend MrShan0\WordpressAuth\Models\WordpressUser and specify the name of your model in config/auth.php under providers -> wordpress -> model.

Customization

If you've renamed your user_email column of wordpress database, you need to first publish configurations of this package if you've not already, extend the model as mentioned above and make sure you've override your changes in your $fillable property and config/wordpress-auth.php config file which is being used for authentication scaffolding and sending notifications.

Usage

You need to define wordpress guard explicitly to load the driver.

Examples

Auth::guard('wordpress')->loginUsingId(5);

// or login using email and password
Auth::guard('wordpress')->attempt([
    'user_email' => 'demo@example.com',
    'user_pass' => 'quickbrownfox'
]);

// get user object
Auth::guard('wordpress')->user();

// Update wordpress compatible password
$user->user_pass = app('wordpress-auth')->make('new_password');
$user->save();

// logout
Auth::guard('wordpress')->logout();

You may also change default guard in config/auth.php then your code will look like

Auth::loginUsingId(5);

If you haven't set default guard and wanted to take advantage of Password Resets (Auth Scaffolding) in laravel. You may need to define guard and broker explicitly in Auth/ForgotPasswordController.php and Auth/ResetPasswordController.php as

/**
 * Get the broker to be used during password reset.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\PasswordBroker
 */
public function broker()
{
    return \Password::broker('wordpress');
}

/**
 * Get the guard to be used during password reset.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\StatefulGuard
 */
protected function guard()
{
    return \Auth::guard('wordpress');
}
