Question

so this is basically the sql model i got so far:

This is, how it would look at my users controller (stackoverflow formatting):

if (Auth::user()->is('admin'))
                    {
                            if (Auth::user()->can('delete'))
                            {
                                    echo 'hurra!';
                            }
                    }

Permission keys will probably look like this

admin.delete
maybe something like user.can.buy

And now i want to know if it’s alright, how i perform it in the methods:

public function is($roleName)
        {
                $role = $this->roles;

                if ($role->name == $roleName)
                {
                        return true;
                }

                return false;
        }

I think this one’s good

BUT

public function can($permissionKey)
        {
                $permissions = $this->roles->permissions()
                        ->where('key', $permissionKey)
                        ->count();

                if ($permissions > 0)
                {
                        return true;
                }

                return false;
        }

looks kinda awkward to me. Is this the right way i am selecting data with eloquent orm?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Well i lnstalled a profiler and checked all triggered sql queries:

select * from users where id = ‘1’ limit 1

select * from roles where id = ‘1’ limit 1

select count(*) as aggregate from permissions inner join permission_role on permissions.id = permission_role.permission_id where permission_role.role_id = ‘1’ and key = ‘view.admin’

this looks alright to me, so i think the way i did it, is ok.
