Connections for Laravel

Gate integration

Set register_gate to true to register a Gate::before check, so a host app can authorize through connections:

CONNECTIONS_REGISTER_GATE=true
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;

$user->can('publish', $team);                    // true when $user has 'publish' on $team
Gate::forUser($user)->allows('publish', $team);  // the same check
Gate::authorize('publish', $team);               // throws AuthorizationException when nothing grants it
  • The ability name is the permission string; the check runs hasPermissionThroughConnection(), so wildcards, the cache and enforce_active_on_check all apply.
  • The hook answers only when the user and the first argument are both Eloquent models implementing Connectable.
  • It returns true when the connection grants the ability and null otherwise — it never denies, so your policies and Gate definitions still decide every other case.
  • Blade’s @can and the can: route middleware go through the same Gate.
  • It is off by default so installing the package never surprises a host’s own authorization.
