Simple htaccess authentication on Heroku with cedar/php

heroku-htaccess.md

Create an .htaccess file in the webroot:

AuthUserFile /app/www/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Access"
Require valid-user

Create a .htpasswd file:

htpasswd -c /app/www/.htpasswd [username]

You can also use the /app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php and the "auth.basic" middleware for that:

protected function mapWebRoutes(Router $router)
{
    $middlewares = ['web', 'hasTeam'];
    if(env('AUTH_BASIC', 0)){
        array_push($middlewares, "auth.basic");
    }
    $router->middleware($middlewares)
           ->namespace($this->namespace)
           ->group(base_path('routes/web.php'));
}
