Filament Hexa Lite

Filament Hexa Lite is an effortless role & permission plugin for Filament, inspired by the concept of hexters/ladmin. This concept facilitates managing each role and permission inline with code and provides an easy-to-understand interface.

This plugin is intended only for Administrators, as it has a separate admin table from the user table provided by Laravel. Additionally, this plugin will replace the auth.php configuration file.

composer require hexters/hexa-lite

Then, proceed with the installation of the hexa plugin:

php artisan hexa:install

Install database migrations:

php artisan migrate

Create a superadmin account for admin login:

Plugin Setup

Add the Filament HexaLite plugin to the created panel. If you haven't created one yet, see how to do it here Creating a new panel.

use Filament\Panel;
use Hexters\HexaLite\HexaLite;
 
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        ->plugins([
            HexaLite::make(),
        ]);
}

Declaring Access Permissions

Resource & Page

To declare access permissions for Resources and Pages, for Clusters you need to upgrade to the hexters/hexa package.

use Hexters\HexaLite\Traits\HexAccess;

. . .

use HexAccess;

protected static ?string $permissionId = 'access.user';

protected static ?string $descriptionPermission = 'Admin can manage User accounts';

/**
 * Additional permission (optional)
 * You can add it or not depending on the needs of your application.
 */
protected static ?array $subPermissions = [
    'access.user.create' => 'Can Create',
    'access.user.edit' => 'Can Edit',
    'access.user.delete' => 'Can Delete',
];

public static function canAccess(): bool
{
    return hexa()->can(static::$permissionId);
}

. . .

Actions, etc.

You can use the visible() method on several Class Components. For example, let's try it on a button.

Tables\Actions\EditAction::make()
    ->visible(hexa()->can('access.user.edit')),

For giving access to classes extended to Filament\Resources\Pages\EditRecord, Filament\Resources\Pages\CreateRecord, Filament\Resources\Pages\ListRecords, Filament\Resources\Pages\ViewRecords, you can use:

/**
 * @param  array<string, mixed>  $parameters
 */
public static function canAccess(array $parameters = []): bool
{
    return hexa()->can('access.user.edit');
}

Checking Access Permissions

Access can be granted to Resources, Pages, Widgets, Button Actions, etc. The access can be given as shown below.

Using the hexa utility function:

hexa()->can('hexa.admin')

Using Laravel's auth can function:

auth()->user()?->can('hexa.admin')

Using Laravel's Gate class:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;

. . .

Gate::allows('hexa.admin')

In a blade template, you can use it as shown below.

<div>
    @can('hexa.admin')
        // Content here ...
    @endcan
</div>
