[TOC]

BrilliantPortal

BrilliantPortal is an opinionated Laravel preset.

It provides starter team and user models, simplified team management, and basic API endpoints.

Out of the box, Jetstream assumes that every user will have a personal team and perhaps be invited to other teams. BrilliantPortal Framework removes the assumption that all users will have a personal team. See usage for more information.

BrilliantPortal Framework also installs a set of tests for features it provides.

Usage

Permissions

Add the HasTeamPermission middleware to routes that require a specific permission as defined in your JetstreamServiceProvider:

Teams

Add the EnsureHasTeam middleware to any routes that require a team. If the user does not have a team, they will be redirected to a screen prompting them to create a team.

Users

Administrators

BrilliantPortal Framework adds an is_super_admin column to the users table and model. By default, it is set to false.

Super-admins have privileges to do anything in the app, so use these permissions carefully.

The super-admin capability can be used in authorization checks to determine if a user is a super-admin:

Add the SuperAdmin middleware to any routes that require super-admin access. If the user is not a super-admin, they will receive a 403 Forbidden response.

Passwords

BrilliantPortal Framework sets some default password complexity requirements. See the Laravel documentation for more information.

• Production environments: minimum 8 characters, mixed case, must not exist in known breaches
• Non-production environments: minimum 8 characters

Individual Name Fields

The \BrilliantPortal\Framework\Traits\HasIndividualNameFields trait may be used on a User model to indicate that the user table has distinct first_name and last_name fields rather than the standard name field that Laravel provides.

Components

Several handy components are provided out of the box:

To customize these, see publishing views.

Search Engine Optimization

This package uses the Spatie Laravel Robots Middleware package to prove x-robots-tag headers.

To use this, add the \BrilliantPortal\Framework\Http\Middleware\RobotsMiddleware class to your app’s bootstrap/app.php file:

You may use the SEARCH_ENGINES_SHOULD_INDEX and/or SEARCH_ENGINES_BLOCK_PATTERNS env variables to control access, or copy the vendor/brilliant-portal/framework/src/Http/Middleware/RobotsMiddleware.php file into your app and tweak the logic.

API

Admin Endpoints

BrilliantPortal Framework provides endpoints for managing teams and users.

See /dashboard/api-documentation for details.

The admin endpoints require a super-admin or these explicit permissions (to use these, add them to your app’s app/Providers/JetstreamServiceProvider.php for the appropriate role(s)):

• admin:create
• admin:read
• admin:update
• admin:delete

Generic Endpoints

BrilliantPortal Framework provides a generic endpoint for managing any model in the app other than teams and users.

See /dashboard/api-documentation for details.

This is intended for simple API integrations where it’s not worth the time to build a full set of endpoints and documentation. The type URL parameter indicates which model to use.

You should create policies for each model and add them to your app/Providers/AuthServiceProvider.php file.

For ease of use, you can extend BrilliantPortal\Framework\Policies\BasePolicy.php and use return $this->checkTeamOwnership($user, $model, $action);. See BrilliantPortal\Framework\User.php for an example.

Creating New Endpoints

You should create policies for each model and add them to your app/Providers/AuthServiceProvider.php file.

For ease of use, you can extend BrilliantPortal\Framework\Policies\BasePolicy.php and use return $this->checkTeamOwnership($user, $model, $action);. See BrilliantPortal\Framework\User.php for an example.

Feel free to copy BrilliantPortal\Framework\Http\Controllers\Api\Admin\User and use it as a starting point for your custom API controllers. This extends BrilliantPortal\Framework\Http\Controllers\Api\Controller, which provides default authorization policy. It also provides example OpenAPI route annotations.

See brilliant-portal/framework/src/OpenApi for example OpenAPI request, response, and schema files, and https://vyuldashev.github.io/laravel-openapi for documentation.

You may also use or extend BrilliantPortal\Framework\Http\Resources\DataWrapCollection to wrap model index responses and BrilliantPortal\Framework\Http\Resources\JsonResource for single model responses.
