### Install Connections for Laravel via Composer

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/connections-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Install the package with Composer, then publish and run the migrations. Requires PHP 8.4 and Laravel 12 or 13. Set CONNECTIONS_KEY_TYPE=uuid or ulid before migrating if your models use UUID or ULID keys.

```bash
composer require roundly-consulting/connections-for-laravel
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="connections-migrations"
php artisan migrate
```

### Create, Check, and Manage Connections with Permissions and Expiry

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/connections-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Connect two models with permissions and an optional expiry, then check existence, verify wildcard permissions, grant additional permissions, check permission through a connection, disconnect (soft delete), and prune expired connections.

```php
use RoundlyConsulting\Connections\Facades\Connections;

Connections::between($user, $team)
    ->withPermissions('view', 'posts.*')
    ->expiresIn(now()->addMonth())
    ->connect();

Connections::between($user, $team)->exists();                     // true — active connection
Connections::between($user, $team)->permissions()->has('posts.edit'); // true — wildcard match
Connections::between($user, $team)->permissions()->grant('publish');

$user->hasPermissionThroughConnection($team, 'publish');          // true

Connections::between($user, $team)->disconnect();                 // soft delete
Connections::prune();                                             // drop expired connections
```

### Make an Eloquent Model Connectable with HasConnections

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/connections-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Use the HasConnections trait and implement the Connectable contract to enable connections on a model. Apply this to each model that participates in connections, such as Team or User.

```php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use RoundlyConsulting\Connections\Concerns\HasConnections;
use RoundlyConsulting\Connections\Contracts\Connectable;

class Team extends Model implements Connectable
{
    use HasConnections;
}
```
