Laravel Option Framework

The Laravel Option Framework by @haruncpi helps you “manage your Laravel application’s dynamic settings in one place with various supported input types.”

Here’s an example screenshot provided from the project’s readme:

It’s main features include:

• Clean & fresh responsive UI
• Configurable route
• Configurable middleware
• Build-in Option UI
• Various option type support
• Laravel validation rules support
• and more

It works by defining a config/options.php file, that might look similar to the following example from the README:

 1return [
 2    [
 3        "id" => "general",
 4        "label" => "General",
 5        "icon" => "fa-cubes",
 6        "fields" => [
 7            [
 8                "type" => "text",
 9                "id" => "site_name",
10                "label" => "Site Name",
11                "description" => "Enter your site name",
12                "icon" => "fa-globe",
13                "validation" => 'required|min:10'
14            ],
15            [
16                "type" => "text",
17                "id" => "site_slogan",
18                "label" => "Site Slogan",
19                "description" => "Enter site slogan",
20                "validation" => 'required'
21            ],
22            [
23                "type" => "timepicker",
24                "id" => "backup_time",
25                "label" => "Backup Time",
26                "description" => "Set db backup time",
27                "validation" => 'required'
28            ]
29 
30        ]
31    ],
32    [
33        "id" => "social",
34        "label" => "Social",
35        "icon" => "fa-globe",
36        "fields" => [ /* ... */ ]
37    ]
38];

1getOption('backup_time');

Laravel Passwordless Login

 Laravel Passwordless login is a package by Ed Grosvenor that provides a simple, safe, magic login link generator for Laravel apps:

This package provides a temporary signed route that logs in a user. What it does not provide is a way of actually sending the link to the route to the user. This is because I don’t want to make any assumptions about how you communicate with your users.

Here’s a usage example from the project’s readme:

 1use App\User;
 2use Grosv\LaravelPasswordlessLogin\LoginUrl;
 3 
 4function sendLoginLink()
 5{
 6    $user = User::find(1);
 7 
 8    $generator = new LoginUrl($user);
 9    $url = $generator->generate();
10 
11    // OR Use a Facade
12    $url = PasswordlessLogin::forUser($user)->generate();
13 
14    // Send $url in an email or text message to your user
15    return $url;
16}

This package has configuration options that enable you to configure which model is the user model, the login route, and the number of minutes until the link expires. Check out the readme for full configuration options.

You can learn more about this package, get full installation instructions, and view the source code on GitHub at grosv/laravel-passwordless-login.
