Authentication ​

Overview ​

One of the benefits of Hybridly is that it acts like a classic monolithic application. There is no need for a token-based authentication system like the one provided by Laravel Sanctum, or an advanced authentication system like OAuth.

Hybridly works best with session-based authentication systems, such as what Laravel provides by default. The demonstrations showcases how authentication can be implemented.

Sharing user data ​

Obtaining information regarding the currently logged-in user is usually done via global properties.

Ideally, avoid exposing the whole model — rather, select the properties you need and make them a data object.

// app/Http/Middleware/HandleHybridRequests.php
public function share(): SharedData
{
    return SharedData::from([
        'security' => [
            'user' => UserData::optional(auth()->user()),
        ],
    ]);
}

// App\Data\UserData
final class UserData extends Data
{
    public function __construct(
        public readonly string $hashid,
        public readonly string $username,
        public readonly string $display_name,
        public readonly ?string $profile_picture_url,
        public readonly ?Carbon $identity_verified_at,
        public readonly string $email,
    ) {
    }
}

Consuming user data ​

Hybridly does not provide any specific tool to read user data, but you may simply use useProperty to get the user property. Extra DX points when TypeScript is set up.

Optionally, you could write a wrapper around it:

// resources/composables/security.ts
export default function useSecurity() {
  const user = useProperty('security.user')
  const authenticated = computed(() => !!user.value)

  return {
    user,
    authenticated,
  }
}
