¹ This library follows the Laravel release support schedule. We do not support framework versions after they stop receiving security fixes from Laravel.
² This library follows the PHP release support schedule. We do not support runtime versions after they stop receiving security fixes from the PHP Group.
³ Our support windows are determined by the Laravel and PHP Group support schedules, and support ends when either the Laravel framework or PHP runtime outlined above stop receiving security fixes, whichever comes first.
⁴ With the release of Laravel SDK v7, v6 is now in bug-fix only mode. Please migrate to v7 to continue to receive feature enhancements.
- Create a free Auth0 account and register an Application.
- If you do not already have one, prepare a Laravel project.
The supported method of SDK installation is through Composer. From your terminal shell, cd into your project directory and issue the following command:
composer require auth0/login:dev-mainUse the Laravel vendor:publish command to import the configuration file into your application:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=auth0-configNow edit your .env file and add Auth0 tenants details for your project, depending on the type of application you're building:
# The URL of your Auth0 tenant domain
# You'll find this in your Auth0 Application's settings page.
AUTH0_DOMAIN=...
# Your Auth0 application's Client ID
# You'll find this in your Auth0 Application's settings page.
AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=...
# Your Auth0 application's Client ID
# You'll find this in your Auth0 Application's settings page.
AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET=...
# Your Auth0 Custom API identifier/audience.
# You'll find this in your Custom API's settings page.
AUTH0_AUDIENCE=...
# Authentication callback URI, as defined in your Auth0 Application settings.
# (Update this as appropriate for your application's location.)
# (You must configure this in your Auth0 Application's settings page as well!)
AUTH0_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/auth0/callbackThese are applications that accept an Access Token through the 'Authorization' header of a request.
# This tells the Auth0 Laravel SDK about your use case to customize its behavior.
# The 'api' strategy is used for backend API applications like we're building here.
# See: https://github.com/auth0/auth0-PHP/blob/main/README.md#configuration-strategies
AUTH0_STRATEGY=api
# The URL of your Auth0 tenant domain
# You'll find this in your Auth0 Application's settings page.
AUTH0_DOMAIN=...
# Your Auth0 application's Client ID
# You'll find this in your Auth0 Application's settings page.
AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=...
# Your Auth0 Custom API identifier/audience.
# You'll find this in your Custom API's settings page.
AUTH0_AUDIENCE=...The default configuration provided by the Auth0 Laravel SDK is intentionally limited and designed to support only the most common types of applications. More complex applications may require more robust configuration customizations available in the underlying Auth0-PHP SDK. You can add support for more configuration options by modifying your config/auth0.php and .env files. A complete list of configuration options are available from the Auth0-PHP SDK README.
Integrating the SDK's Guard requires some small changes to your config\auth.php file.
To begin, find the defaults section. Set the default guard to auth0, like this:
// 📂 config/auth.php
'defaults' => [
'guard' => 'auth0',
// 📝 Leave any other settings in this section alone.
],Next, find the guards section, and add auth0 there:
// 👆 Continued from above, in config/auth.php
'guards' => [
// 📝 Any additional guards you use should stay here, too.
'auth0' => [
'driver' => 'auth0',
'provider' => 'auth0',
],
],Finally, find the providers section, and add auth0 there as well:
// 👆 Continued from above, in config/auth.php
'providers' => [
// 📝 Any additional providers you use should stay here, too.
'auth0' => [
'driver' => 'auth0',
'repository' => \Auth0\Laravel\Auth\User\Repository::class
],
],The SDK offers a number of convenience route controllers to ease supporting authentication in regular web application (that is, an application that handles end users logging in and out).
Route::get('/login', \Auth0\Laravel\Http\Controller\Stateful\Login::class)->name('login');
Route::get('/logout', \Auth0\Laravel\Http\Controller\Stateful\Logout::class)->name('logout');
Route::get('/auth0/callback', \Auth0\Laravel\Http\Controller\Stateful\Callback::class)->name('auth0.callback');These routes will automatically handle your regular web application's authentication flow for you.
The Auth0 Laravel SDK includes a number of middleware that simplify either authenticating (regular web applications) or authorizing (backend api applications) your Laravel routes, depending on the type of application you're building.
These are for traditional applications that handle logging in and out.
The auth0.authenticate middleware will check for an available user session and redirect any requests without one to the login route:
Route::get('/required', function () {
return view('example.user.template');
})->middleware(['auth0.authenticate']);The auth0.authenticate.optional middleware will check for an available user session, but won't reject or redirect requests without one, allowing you to treat such requests as "guest" requests:
Route::get('/', function () {
if (Auth::check()) {
return view('example.user.template');
}
return view('example.guest.template');
})->middleware(['auth0.authenticate.optional']);Note that the example.user.template and example.guest.templates views are just examples and are not part of the SDK; replace these as appropriate for your app.
These are applications that accept an Access Token through the 'Authorization' header of a request.
The auth0.authorize middleware will resolve a Access Token and reject any request with an invalid token.
Route::get('/api/private', function () {
return response()->json([
'message' => 'Hello from a private endpoint! You need to be authenticated to see this.',
'authorized' => Auth::check(),
'user' => Auth::check() ? json_decode(json_encode((array) Auth::user(), JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR), true) : null,
], 200, [], JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
})->middleware(['auth0.authorize']);The auth0.authorize middleware also allows you to optionally filter requests for access tokens based on scopes:
Route::get('/api/private-scoped', function () {
return response()->json([
'message' => 'Hello from a private endpoint! You need to be authenticated and have a scope of read:messages to see this.',
'authorized' => Auth::check(),
'user' => Auth::check() ? json_decode(json_encode((array) Auth::user(), JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR), true) : null,
], 200, [], JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
})->middleware(['auth0.authorize:read:messages']);The auth0.authorize.optional middleware will resolve an available Access Token, but won't block requests without one. This is useful when you want to treat tokenless requests as "guests":
Route::get('/api/public', function () {
return response()->json([
'message' => 'Hello from a public endpoint! You don\'t need to be authenticated to see this.',
'authorized' => Auth::check(),
'user' => Auth::check() ? json_decode(json_encode((array) Auth::user(), JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR), true) : null,
], 200, [], JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
})->middleware(['auth0.authorize.optional']);If your application does contain HTTP tests which access routes that are protected by the auth0.authorize middleware, you can use the trait Auth0\Laravel\Traits\ActingAsAuth0User in your tests, which will give you a helper method actingAsAuth0User(array $attributes=[]) simmilar to Laravels actingAs method, that allows you to fake beeing authenticated as a Auth0 user.
The argument attributes is optional and you can use it to set any auth0 specific user attributes like scope, sub, azp, iap and so on. If no attributes are set, some default values are used.
Let's assume you have a route like the following, that is protected by the scope read:messages:
Route::get('/api/private-scoped', function () {
return response()->json([
'message' => 'Hello from a private endpoint! You need to be authenticated and have a scope of read:messages to see this.',
'authorized' => Auth::check(),
'user' => Auth::check() ? json_decode(json_encode((array) Auth::user(), JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR), true) : null,
], 200, [], JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
})->middleware(['auth0.authorize:read:messages']);To be able to test the route from above, the implementation of your test would have to look like this:
use Auth0\Laravel\Traits\ActingAsAuth0User;
public function test_readMessages(){
$response = $this->actingAsAuth0User([
"scope"=>"read:messages"
])->getJson("/api/private-scoped");
$response->assertStatus(200);
