Laravel Blocker

Laravel Blocker (LaravelBlocker) is a middleware interface to block users, emails, ip addresses, domain names, cities, states, countries, continents, and regions from using your application, logging in, or registering. The types of items to be blocked can be extended to what you think via a seed. The items you are blocking have a CRUD interface along with a softdeletes interface.

Usage

From Route File:

You can include the checkblocked in a route groups or on individual routes.

Route Group Example:

    Route::group(['middleware' => ['web', 'checkblocked']], function () {
        Route::get('/', 'WelcomeController@welcome');
    });

    Route::get('/', 'WelcomeController@welcome')->middleware('checkblocked');
    Route::match(['post'], '/test', 'Testing\TestingController@runTest')->middleware('checkblocked');

From Controller File:

You can include the checkblocked in the contructor of your controller file.

Controller File Example:

    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
       $this->middleware('checkblocked');
    }

Configuration

There are many configurable options which have all been extended to be able to configured via .env file variables. Editing the configuration file directly is not needed becuase of this.

See config file: laravelblocker.php.
See default Types Seed: DefaultBlockedTypeTableSeeder.php
See default Blocked Items seed: DefaultBlockedItemsTableSeeder.php

Testing, Faker, and this package

This package is great at blocking unwanted content from your application, but your configuration may conflict with auto generated content in your Laravel Factories. A common example is when your application is set to block email addresses that match @example.com, one of the most common email address TLD generated by $faker->safeEmail.

To avoid this package throwing inaccurate failures with auto-generated models, make sure you disable this package in your phpunit.xml configuration file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpunit>
    ...
    <php>
        ...
        <env name="LARAVEL_BLOCKER_ENABLED" value="false" />
        ...
    </php>
</phpunit>
