User Authentication Identifiers for Laravel

Imagine you need to login a user with either "email", "username" or "phone number" just like how Facebook allows it. This is not possible with Laravel since you're limited to only one unique username/identifier key. This package attempt to solve the issue by allowing to use a unified key "identifier" and you can customize which attributes Laravel should check during authentication.

Installation

To install through composer, run the following command from terminal:

composer require "laravie/authen"

Usages

Service Provider

First you can attach the auth provider on App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider:

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\AuthServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;
use Laravie\Authen\BootAuthenProvider;

class AuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    use BootAuthenProvider;

    /**
     * Register any authentication / authorization services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        $this->registerPolicies();

        $this->bootAuthenProvider();
    }
}

User Model

Secondly, you need to update the related App\User (or the eloquent model mapped for auth).

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Laravie\Authen\AuthenUser;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable, AuthenUser;

    /**
     * Get the name of the unique identifier for the user.
     *
     * @return array<int, string>
     */
    public function getAuthIdentifiersName()
    {
        return ['email', 'username', 'phone_number'];
    }
}

With this setup, you can now check either email, username or phone_number during authentication.

Configuration

Lastly, you need to update the config config/auth.php:

<?php

return [

    // ...

    'providers' => [
        'users' => [
            'driver' => 'authen',
            'model'  => App\User::class,
        ],
    ],

    // ...
];

Examples

Here's an example how to login.

<?php 

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Laravie\Authen\Authen;

$data = [Authen::getIdentifierName() => '[email protected]', 'password' => 'foobar'];

if (Auth::attempt($data)) {
    // you can logged in, you can also pass your phone number of username to `identifier`.
}
