Frequently asked questions about Laravel
- Is auth0-samples/laravel a Composer package I can install with composer require?
- No. It is a Laravel 9 sample application, not a reusable Composer package, so it has no package semver or dependency contract. Clone or inspect the repository as a reference implementation, then install and pin the current Auth0 Laravel SDK in your own application. Do not treat the sample itself as a production dependency.
- Does this Auth0 sample support Laravel 10 or Laravel 11?
- The repository targets Laravel 9 and does not provide compatibility guarantees beyond that demonstrated setup. For Laravel 10, Laravel 11, or newer, use the current Auth0 Laravel SDK documentation and quickstarts instead of copying this sample directly. Validate PHP version, SDK major version, session driver, cache driver, and cookie settings before adapting any code.
- Can I use this Auth0 Laravel sample app in production?
- Not without significant hardening. It is sample-grade code with low adoption signals, no package versioning, and limited maintenance expectations, so production reuse carries high risk. Use it for a time-boxed proof of concept, pin current SDK versions, add tests for authentication and logout, and complete a security review before any rollout.
- What Auth0 functionality does this Laravel sample demonstrate?
- It demonstrates Auth0 integration for a Laravel web application, including login and logout, user profiles, protected routes, and SDK configuration. It is most useful for understanding how the Auth0 Laravel SDK fits into Laravel routes, middleware, sessions, and user-model mapping. It does not replace the SDK documentation for advanced flows.
- How do I configure Auth0 callback and logout URLs for this Laravel sample?
- Configure the allowed callback and logout URLs in your Auth0 application to match the routes and base URL used by the Laravel app. Set the Auth0 domain, client ID, client secret, and callback settings in the environment configuration, and keep cookie domain and session settings consistent across all app instances. A mismatch between Auth0 tenant settings and the app URLs is a common cause of failed logins.
- Which Auth0 features can I add using this sample as a reference?
- The sample is a starting point for web session authentication and can inform patterns for SSO, MFA, social login, enterprise connections, and role-based access. Features beyond the demonstrated web login flow should be implemented from the current Auth0 Laravel SDK documentation and tested against your tenant configuration. Decide early whether you are replacing existing authentication or adding Auth0 alongside it.
- How should I test Auth0 authentication in a Laravel app based on this sample?
- Add tests for authentication middleware, protected route access, session handling, token expiry, and logout behavior rather than relying on the sample’s coverage. Use a dedicated Auth0 test tenant or mocked identity responses where appropriate, and test callback and logout flows across multiple app instances. Plan tests for user provisioning and authorization mapping as part of production hardening.
- Is the auth0-samples/laravel repository actively maintained and secure for long-term use?
- Treat it as a sample with low adoption and sample-grade maintenance expectations, not as a supported product. The team that copies code owns it, including tracking Laravel 9 lifecycle status and Auth0 Laravel SDK upgrades. No vendor SLA applies to the sample app, so define internal ownership, runbooks, and escalation paths.
- What are alternatives to using this Laravel Auth0 sample?
- The primary alternative is implementing the current Auth0 Laravel SDK directly in your application using Auth0’s official quickstarts and SDK documentation. You can also evaluate Laravel starter kits with custom authentication or Socialite-based integrations, depending on your identity requirements. Use this repository only when its demonstrated Laravel 9 patterns match your target stack.
- How do I migrate an existing Laravel app to Auth0 using this sample as a guide?
- Create a time-boxed spike branch instead of forking the sample into production, install and pin the current Auth0 Laravel SDK, and adapt the relevant configuration, routes, middleware, and user-model mapping. Preserve a rollback path to your existing authentication, implement user provisioning and authorization mapping, and test sessions, logout, and token expiry. Finish with secret management, security review, monitoring, and a staged rollout.
