Installation

First, pull in the package through Composer:

composer require cybercog/laravel-ban

Registering package

The package will automatically register itself. This step required for Laravel 5.4 or earlier releases only.

Include the service provider within app/config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    Cog\Laravel\Ban\Providers\BanServiceProvider::class,
],

Apply database migrations

At last, you need to publish and run database migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cog\Laravel\Ban\Providers\BanServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"
php artisan migrate

Usage

Prepare bannable model

use Cog\Contracts\Ban\Bannable as BannableInterface;
use Cog\Laravel\Ban\Traits\Bannable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements BannableInterface
{
    use Bannable;
}

Prepare bannable model database table

Bannable model must have nullable timestamp column named banned_at. This value used as flag and simplify checks if user was banned. If you are trying to make default Laravel User model to be bannable you can use example below.

Create a new migration file

php artisan make:migration add_banned_at_column_to_users_table

Then insert the following code into migration file:

<?php

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

return new class extends Migration
{
    public function up(): void
    {
        Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->timestamp('banned_at')->nullable();
        });
    }

    public function down(): void
    {
        Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->dropColumn('banned_at');
        });
    }
};

Available methods

Apply ban for the entity

$user->ban();

Apply ban for the entity with reason comment

$user->ban([
    'comment' => 'Enjoy your ban!',
]);

Apply ban for the entity which will be deleted over time

$user->ban([
    'expired_at' => '2086-03-28 00:00:00',
]);

expired_at attribute could be \Carbon\Carbon instance or any string which could be parsed by \Carbon\Carbon::parse($string) method:

$user->ban([
    'expired_at' => '+1 month',
]);

Remove ban from entity

$user->unban();

On unban all related ban models are soft deletes.

Check if entity is banned

$user->isBanned();

Check if entity is not banned

$user->isNotBanned();

Delete expired bans manually

app(\Cog\Contracts\Ban\BanService::class)->deleteExpiredBans();

Determine if ban is permanent

$ban = $user->ban();

$ban->isPermanent(); // true

Or pass null value.

$ban = $user->ban([
   'expired_at' => null,
]);

$ban->isPermanent(); // true

Determine if ban is temporary

$ban = $user->ban([
   'expired_at' => '2086-03-28 00:00:00',
]);

$ban->isTemporary(); // true

Scopes

Get all models which are not banned

$users = User::withoutBanned()->get();

Get banned and not banned models

$users = User::withBanned()->get();

Get only banned models

$users = User::onlyBanned()->get();

Scope auto-apply

To apply query scopes all the time you can define shouldApplyBannedAtScope method in bannable model. If method returns true all banned models will be hidden by default.

use Cog\Contracts\Ban\Bannable as BannableInterface;
use Cog\Laravel\Ban\Traits\Bannable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements BannableInterface
{
    use Bannable;
    
    /**
     * Determine if BannedAtScope should be applied by default.
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function shouldApplyBannedAtScope()
    {
        return true;
    }
}

Events

If entity is banned \Cog\Laravel\Ban\Events\ModelWasBanned event is fired.

Is entity is unbanned \Cog\Laravel\Ban\Events\ModelWasUnbanned event is fired.

Middleware

This package has route middleware designed to prevent banned users to go to protected routes.

To use it define new middleware in $routeMiddleware array of app/Http/Kernel.php file:

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    'forbid-banned-user' => \Cog\Laravel\Ban\Http\Middleware\ForbidBannedUser::class,
]

Then use it in any routes and route groups you need to protect:

Route::get('/', [
    'uses' => 'UsersController@profile',
    'middleware' => 'forbid-banned-user',
]);

If you want force logout banned user on protected routes access, use LogsOutBannedUser middleware instead:

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    'logs-out-banned-user' => \Cog\Laravel\Ban\Http\Middleware\LogsOutBannedUser::class,
]

Scheduling

After you have performed the basic installation you can start using the ban:delete-expired command. In most cases you'll want to schedule these command so you don't have to manually run it everytime you need to delete expired bans and unban models.

The command can be scheduled in Laravel's console kernel, just like any other command.

// app/Console/Kernel.php

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
    $schedule->command('ban:delete-expired')->everyMinute();
}

Of course, the time used in the code above is just example. Adjust it to suit your own preferences.
