HttpHeaderAuth extends AuthMethod
in package

HttpHeaderAuth is an action filter that supports HTTP authentication through HTTP Headers.

You may use HttpHeaderAuth by attaching it as a behavior to a controller or module, like the following:

public function behaviors()
{
    return [
        'basicAuth' => [
            'class' => \yii\filters\auth\HttpHeaderAuth::class,
        ],
    ];
}

The default implementation of HttpHeaderAuth uses the [[\yii\web\User::loginByAccessToken()|loginByAccessToken()]] method of the user application component and passes the value of the X-Api-Key header. This implementation is used for authenticating API clients.

Properties

$except

public array<string|int, mixed> $except = []

list of action IDs that this filter should not apply to.

Tags

only

$header

public string $header = 'X-Api-Key'

the HTTP header name

$only

public array<string|int, mixed> $only = []

list of action IDs that this filter should apply to. If this property is not set, then the filter applies to all actions, unless they are listed in [[except]]. If an action ID appears in both [[only]] and [[except]], this filter will NOT apply to it.

Note that if the filter is attached to a module, the action IDs should also include child module IDs (if any) and controller IDs.

Since version 2.0.9 action IDs can be specified as wildcards, e.g. site/*.

except

$optional

public array<string|int, mixed> $optional = []

list of action IDs that this filter will be applied to, but auth failure will not lead to error. It may be used for actions, that are allowed for public, but return some additional data for authenticated users. Defaults to empty, meaning authentication is not optional for any action. Since version 2.0.10 action IDs can be specified as wildcards, e.g. site/*.

Methods

__call()

Calls the named method which is not a class method.

public __call(string $name, array<string|int, mixed> $params) : mixed

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when an unknown method is being invoked.

Parameters
$name : string

the method name

$params : array<string|int, mixed>

method parameters

Tags
throws
UnknownMethodException

when calling unknown method

Return values
mixed

the method return value

__construct()

Constructor.

public __construct([array<string|int, mixed> $config = [] ]) : mixed

The default implementation does two things:

  • Initializes the object with the given configuration $config.
  • Call [[init()]].

If this method is overridden in a child class, it is recommended that

  • the last parameter of the constructor is a configuration array, like $config here.
  • call the parent implementation at the end of the constructor.
Parameters
$config : array<string|int, mixed> = []

name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties

__get()

Returns the value of an object property.

public __get(string $name) : mixed

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $value = $object->property;.

Parameters
$name : string

the property name

Tags
throws
UnknownPropertyException

if the property is not defined

throws
InvalidCallException

if the property is write-only

see
__set()
Return values
mixed

the property value

__isset()

Checks if a property is set, i.e. defined and not null.

public __isset(string $name) : bool

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing isset($object->property).

Note that if the property is not defined, false will be returned.

Parameters
$name : string

the property name or the event name

Tags
see
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php
Return values
bool

whether the named property is set (not null).

__set()

Sets value of an object property.

public __set(string $name, mixed $value) : mixed

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $object->property = $value;.

Parameters
$name : string

the property name or the event name

$value : mixed

the property value

Tags
throws
UnknownPropertyException

if the property is not defined

throws
InvalidCallException

if the property is read-only

see
__get()

__unset()

Sets an object property to null.

public __unset(string $name) : mixed

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing unset($object->property).

Note that if the property is not defined, this method will do nothing. If the property is read-only, it will throw an exception.

Parameters
$name : string

the property name

Tags
throws
InvalidCallException

if the property is read only.

see
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unset.php

afterAction()

This method is invoked right after an action is executed.

public afterAction(Action $action, mixed $result) : mixed

You may override this method to do some postprocessing for the action.

Parameters
$action : Action

the action just executed.

$result : mixed

the action execution result

Return values

the processed action result.

attach()

Attaches the behavior object to the component.

public attach(mixed $owner) : mixed
Parameters
$owner : mixed

authenticate()

Authenticates the current user.

public authenticate(mixed $user, mixed $request, mixed $response) : IdentityInterface|null
Parameters
$user : mixed
$request : mixed
$response : mixed
Return values
IdentityInterface|null

the authenticated user identity. If authentication information is not provided, null will be returned.

beforeAction()

This method is invoked right before an action is to be executed (after all possible filters.) You may override this method to do last-minute preparation for the action.

public beforeAction(mixed $action) : bool
Parameters
$action : mixed

the action to be executed.

Return values
bool

whether the action should continue to be executed.

canGetProperty()

Returns a value indicating whether a property can be read.

public canGetProperty(string $name[, bool $checkVars = true ]) : bool

A property is readable if:

  • the class has a getter method associated with the specified name (in this case, property name is case-insensitive);
  • the class has a member variable with the specified name (when $checkVars is true);
Parameters
$name : string

the property name

$checkVars : bool = true

whether to treat member variables as properties

Tags
see
canSetProperty()
Return values
bool

whether the property can be read

canSetProperty()

Returns a value indicating whether a property can be set.

public canSetProperty(string $name[, bool $checkVars = true ]) : bool

A property is writable if:

  • the class has a setter method associated with the specified name (in this case, property name is case-insensitive);
  • the class has a member variable with the specified name (when $checkVars is true);
Parameters

detach()

Detaches the behavior object from the component.

public detach() : mixed

events()

Declares event handlers for the [[owner]]'s events.

public events() : array<string|int, mixed>

Child classes may override this method to declare what PHP callbacks should be attached to the events of the [[owner]] component.

The callbacks will be attached to the [[owner]]'s events when the behavior is attached to the owner; and they will be detached from the events when the behavior is detached from the component.

The callbacks can be any of the following:

  • method in this behavior: 'handleClick', equivalent to [$this, 'handleClick']
  • object method: [$object, 'handleClick']
  • static method: ['Page', 'handleClick']
  • anonymous function: function ($event) { ... }

The following is an example:

[
    Model::EVENT_BEFORE_VALIDATE => 'myBeforeValidate',
    Model::EVENT_AFTER_VALIDATE => 'myAfterValidate',
]
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

events (array keys) and the corresponding event handler methods (array values).

Parameters
$response : mixed
