Custom drivers

You can also extend Lockdown with your own drivers if the need arises. Simply fill in a fully qualified class name as your driver definition:

'my-custom-guard' => [
    'driver' => CustomDriver::class,

    // Add watever extra data you driver needs. 
    // Each key will be accessible as a public 
    // property within your custom driver
    'someCustomArgument' => 'Foo'
],

Then create a new class within that location, extend Lockdown’s base driver class and apply it’s interface method:

namespace App\Lockdown;

use Leuverink\Lockdown\Drivers\Driver;

class CustomDriver extends Driver
{
    /**
     * Check if current request passes the
     * BasicLock authentication guard
     *
     * @return boolean
     */
    public function passesAuthentication($user, $password) : bool
    {
        // Get whatever extra arguments passed in the config as a class property
        // Example;
        $customProperty = $this->someCustomArgument; // returns 'Foo' as per the config in the example above.

        // Do whatever checks you like and return a boolean
        return $passes
    }
}
