Access Control List 66
Laravel 4 provides and excellent method for synchronising related database records — the sync()
method. You simply provide it with the id(s) of the related records and it makes sure there is a
record for each relationship. It couldn’t be easier!
Finally, we will add a bit of CSS to make the lists less of a mess…
1 .assign
2 {
3 padding : 10px 0 0 0;
4 line-height : 22px;
5 }
6 .checkbox, .assign
7 {
8 float : left;
9 clear : left;
10 }
11 .checkbox input[type='checkbox']
12 {
13 margin : 0 10px 0 0;
14 float : none;
15 }
.
This was extracted from public/css/layout.css.
Take it for a spin! You will find that the related records are created (in the pivot) tables, and each
time you submit it; the edit page will remember the correct relationships and show them back to
you.
Advanced Routes
The final thing we need to do is manage how resources are translated into routes and how the
security behaves in the presence of our simple ACL.
