OpenFGA PHP SDK

Stop writing authorization logic. Start asking questions.

composer require evansims/openfga-php

Every app needs permissions. Most developers end up with authorization logic scattered across controllers, middleware, and business logic. Changes break things. New features require touching dozens of files.

OpenFGA solves this. Define your authorization rules once, query them anywhere. This SDK provides a modern PHP interface to OpenFGA and Auth0 FGA.

Installation

composer require evansims/openfga-php

Quickstart

use OpenFGA\Client;
use function OpenFGA\{allowed, tuple};

$client = new Client(url: 'http://localhost:8080');

// Instead of scattered if statements in your controllers:
if ($user->isAdmin() || $user->owns($document) || $user->team->canEdit($document)) {
    // ...
}

// Ask OpenFGA:
$canEdit = allowed(
    client: $client,
    store: 'my-store',
    model: 'my-model',
    tuple: tuple('user:alice', 'editor', 'document:readme')
);

// Zero business logic coupling. Pure authorization.
