Roles

[iamraffe]

I don't know if this is not within the scope of LaraParse but I am setting a three level website (users, managers and administrators) and Roles play a huge part in this.

I have modified the code on the Registrar to look like this:

/**
 * Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
 *
 * Assign Administrator Role if wanted/needed.
 *
 * @param  array $data
 *
 * @param  bool $isAdmin
 *
 * @return User
 */
public function create(array $data, $isAdmin = false)
{
    $userSubclass   = ParseObject::getRegisteredSubclass('_User');
    $user           = new $userSubclass;
    $user->username = $data['email'];
    $user->email    = $data['email'];
    $user->password = $data['password'];
    if(isset($data['name'])){
        $fullName = explode(" ", $data['name']);
        $user->name = $fullName[0];
        $user->lastname = $fullName[1];
    }
    if(isset($data['id'])){
        $user->facebookId = $data['id'];
        $user->pictureURL = $data['avatar'];
        $user->name = $data['first_name'];
        $user->lastname = $data['last_name'];
    }
    $user->signUp();

    if(!$isAdmin){
        $query = new ParseQuery('_Role');
        $adminRole = new ParseRole();
        $adminRole = $query->equalTo("name", "Administrator")->first(true);
        $adminRole->getUsers()->add($user);
        $adminRole->save(true);
    }

    return $user;
}

I don't know if this is the best implementation, so if anyone has a suggestion (mostly on security), since this is my first time working with the Parse SDK, I would greatly appreciate it.

If not, I hope this can help someone get the Roles working quickly.

This implementation isn't something we'll do exactly, as it's very specific to your use case. But I'm hoping to get to roles at some point.

I would love to help in any way I can when that time comes.

Cheers
