Laravel Routes

This package installs Laravel routes that you will not find them at routes.php file. The routes installed by package would be find at file:

https://github.com/acacha/adminlte-laravel/blob/master/src/Http/routes.php

A file included by AdminLTETemplateServiceProvider:

https://github.com/acacha/adminlte-laravel/blob/master/src/Providers/AdminLTETemplateServiceProvider.php

You can override this routes by changing order of ServiceProviders in config/app.php file so if you put:

App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class

After

Acacha\AdminLTETemplateLaravel\Providers\AdminLTETemplateServiceProvider::class

Your routes in routes.php file will override default adminlte-laravel routes.

Also you can install manually the routes in routes.php file. Adminlte-laravel use same routes as Laravel make:auth command use, see:

https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.2/src/Illuminate/Auth/Console/stubs/make/routes.stub

so you can add this lines to routes.php file:

Route::auth();

Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');

And disable AdminLTETemplateServiceProvider in config/app.php file ( take into account that Adminte-laravel Facades and custom commands will not be available).

Troubleshooting

GNU sed on MAC OS

NOTA: not needed in Laravel 5.5+

Acacha llum need GNU sed to work so replace BSD sed with GNU sed using:

brew install gnu-sed --with-default-names

Check you version of sed with:

man sed

sed GNU version path is:

$ which sed
/usr/local/bin/sed

Instead of default path of BSD sed (installed by default on MAC OS):

/usr/bin/sed

How to use username at login instead of email

Execute command:

php artisan adminlte:username

And then you can use username instead of email for login.

NOTE: when we are using login by username if login by usernames fails then system try to use the introduced username as an email for login. So users can also login using email.

To come back to email login remove field option from config/auth.php file:

'providers' => [
    'users' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => App\User::class,
        'field' => 'username' // Adminlte laravel. Valid values: 'email' or 'username'
    ],

NOTE: Migration required to add username field to users table requires:

composer require doctrine/dbal

Default domain for username registration

Optionally you can define a default domain name for username login. Add domain option:

'defaults' => [
    'guard' => 'web',
    'passwords' => 'users',
    'domain' => 'defaultdomain.com',
],

to file config/auth.php. Then if an user tries to login with no domain the default domain will be appended whe logging.

So with previous example you can type at login:

sergiturbadenas

and system/javascript will replace that with:

sergiturbadenas@defaultdomain.com

Vue

Laravel adminlte package by default publish Laravel translations into Javascript/Vue.js adding to HTML header the following script:

<script>
    //See https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/vue/use-trans-in-vuejs
    window.trans = @php
        // copy all translations from /resources/lang/CURRENT_LOCALE/* to global JS variable
        $lang_files = File::files(resource_path() . '/lang/' . App::getLocale());
        $trans = [];
        foreach ($lang_files as $f) {
            $filename = pathinfo($f)['filename'];
            $trans[$filename] = trans($filename);
        }
        $trans['adminlte_lang_message'] = trans('adminlte_lang::message');
        echo json_encode($trans);
    @endphp
</script>

This script is located in partial blade file (vendor/acacha/admin-lte-template-laravel/resources/views/layouts/partials/htmlheader.blade.php)

So global variable window.trans contains all Laravel translations at can be used in any Javascript file.

Also in file resources/assets/js/bootstrap.js code section:

Vue.prototype.trans = (key) => {
    return _.get(window.trans, key, key);
};

Allows using directly the trans function in vue templates:

{{ trans('auth.failed') }}

Also you can use inside Vue components code:

this.trans('auth.failed')

Laravel Adminlte messages ara available using prefix adminlte_lang_message:

{{ trans('adminlte_lang_message.username') }}

Feel free to remove/adapt this file to your needs.
