Copy `.env.example` to `.env` ```shell cp .env.example .env ``` 3. Start the webserver ```shell php artisan serve ``` That's mostly it! You have a fully running laravel installation with Sanctum, all configured. ## Database Migration and Seeding Open your `.env` file and change the DATABASE options. You can start with SQLite by following these steps 1. Create a new sqlite database ```shell touch database/hydra.sqlite ``` Or simply create a new file as **hydra.sqlite** inside your **database** folder. 2. Run migration ```shell php artisan migrate ``` Now your database has essential tables for user and roles management. 3. Database Seeding Run `db:seed`, and you have your first admin user, some essential roles in the roles table and the relationship properly setup. ```shell php artisan db:seed ``` Please note that the default admin user is **admin@hydra.project** and default password is **hydra**. You should create a new admin user before deploying to production and delete this default admin user. You can do that using available Hydra user management API, or using any DB management tool. ## List of Default Routes Here is a list of default routes. Run the following artisan command to see this list in your terminal. ```shell php artisan route:list ```  ## Default Roles Hydra comes with these `super-admin`,`admin`,`editor`,`customer` & `user` roles out of the box. For details, open the roles table after database seeding, or simply open laravel tinker and experiment with `Role` model ```shell php artisan tinker ``` run the following command ```php >>> Role::select(['id','slug','name'])->get() //or >>> Role::all(['id','name','slug']) //or >>> Role::all() ``` ## Routes Documentation Let's have a look at what Hydra has to offer. Before experimenting with the following API endpoints, run your Hydra project using `php artisan serve` command. For the next part of this documentation, we assumed that Hydra is listening at http://localhost:8000 ### User Registration You can make an `HTTP POST` call to the following endpoint to create/register a new user. newly created user will have the `user` role by default. ```shell http://localhost:8000/api/users ``` **API Payload & Response** You can send a Form Multipart payload or a JSON payload like this ```json { "name":"Hydra User", "email":"user@hydra.project", "passsword":"Surprisingly A Good Password" } ``` Voila! your user has been created and is now ready to login! If this user already exists, then you will receive a 409 Response like this ```json { "error": 1, "message": "user already exists" } ``` ### User Authentication/Login (Admin) Remember Hydra comes with the default admin user? You can login as an admin by making an HTTP POST call to the folllowing route ```shell http://localhost:8000/api/login ``` **API Payload & Response** You can send a Form Multipart or a JSON payload like this ```json { "email":"admin@hydra.project", "passsword":"hydra" } ``` You will get a JSON response with user token. You need this admin token for making any call to other routes protected by admin ability. ```json { "error": 0, "token": "1|se9wkPKTxevv9jpVgXN8wS5tYKx53wuRLqvRuqCR" } ``` For any unsuccsesful attempt, you will receive a 401 error response. ```json { "error": 1, "message": "invalid credentials" } ``` ### User Authentication/Login (Other Roles) You can login as a user by making an HTTP POST call to the folllowing route ```shell http://localhost:8000/api/login ``` **API Payload & Response** You can send a Form Multipart or a JSON payload like this ```json { "email":"user@hydra.project", "passsword":"Surprisingly A Good Password" } ``` You will get a JSON response with user token. You need this user token for making any call to other routes protected by user ability. ```json { "error": 0, "token": "2|u0ZUNlNtXgdUmtQSACRU1KWBKAmcaX8Bkhd2xVIf" } ``` For any unsuccsesful attempt, you will receive a 401 error response. ```json { "error": 1, "message": "invalid credentials" } ``` ### List Roles (Admin Ability Required) To list the roles, make an `HTTP GET` call to the following route, with Admin Token obtained from Admin Login. Add this token as a standard `Bearer Token` to your API call. ```shell http://localhost:8000/api/roles ``` **API Payload & Response** No payload required for this call. You will get a JSON response with all the roles available in your project. ```json [ { "id": 1, "name": "Administrator", "slug": "admin" }, { "id": 2, "name": "User", "slug": "user" }, { "id": 3, "name": "Customer", "slug": "customer" }, { "id": 4, "name": "Editor", "slug": "editor" }, { "id": 5, "name": "All", "slug": "*" }, { "id": 6, "name": "Super Admin", "slug": "super-admin" } ] ``` For any unsuccsesful attempt or wrong token, you will receive a 401 error response. ```json { "message": "Unauthenticated." } ``` ### Add a New Role (Admin Ability Required) To list the roles, make an `HTTP POST` call to the following route, with Admin Token obtained from Admin Login. Add this token as a standard `Bearer Token` to your API call. ```shell http://localhost:8000/api/roles ``` **API Payload & Response** You need to supply title of the role as `name`, role `slug` in your payload as Multipart Form or JSON data ```json { "name":"Manager", "slug":"manager" } ``` For successful execution, you will get a JSON response with this newly created role. ```json { "name": "Manager", "slug": "manager", "id": 7 } ``` If this role `slug` already exists, you will get a 409 error message like this ```json { "error": 1, "message": "role already exists" } ``` For any unsuccsesful attempt or wrong token, you will receive a 401 error response. ```json { "message": "Unauthenticated." } ``` ### Update a Role (Admin Ability Required) To list the roles, make an `HTTP PUT` or `HTTP PATCH` call to the following route, with Admin Token obtained from Admin Login. Add this token as a standard `Bearer Token` to your API call. ```shell http://localhost:8000/api/roles/{roleid} ``` For example to update the Customer role, use this endpoint `http://localhost:8000/api/roles/3` **API Payload & Response** You need to supply title of the role as `name`, and/or role `slug` in your payload as Multipart Form or JSON data ```json { "name":"Product Customer", "slug":"product-customer" } ``` For successful execution, you will get a JSON response with this updated role. ```json { "id": 3, "name": "Product Customer", "slug": "product-customer" } ``` Please note that you cannot change a `super-admin` or `admin` role slug because many API routes in Hydra exclusively require this role to function properly. For any unsuccsesful attempt or wrong token, you will receive a 401 error response. ```json { "message": "Unauthenticated." } ``` [Documentation In Progress...]
