laravel-governor is a Laravel package that provides role-based access control (RBAC) with team and ownership support. It integrates with Laravel's native authorization system via policies and gates, offering granular permission management through an admin interface built with Blade templates and Alpine.js. The package includes Eloquent models for roles, permissions, actions, ownership, entities, groups, teams, and assignments, along with migrations, seeders, Artisan commands for setup and publishing, and traits (Governing and Governable) to add authorization capabilities to User and other models. It features a caching layer with automatic invalidation via observers to optimize permission checks, and uses middleware to dynamically register custom policy methods via reflection. The architecture follows Laravel conventions with service providers for booting, controllers for handling requests, and policies for authorization logic.
The LLM identified 1 files worth highlighting for reuse:
This middleware uses reflection to automatically discover and register custom policy methods as Laravel gates, eliminating the need for manual gate registration in the AuthServiceProvider. It is decoupled from Governor-specific models, demonstrating a reusable pattern for extending Laravel's policy handling in any application through metaprogramming techniques.
