[Feature request] v3 wish list

[ankurk91]

Hi @driesvints

I noticed that v3 is around the corner now.
I am trying bring the most requested features here.

1. Prevent updating last_used_at on each request

The last_used_at column is getting updated on every request.

Related PR/issues

• Disable last used at in personal access tokens table #293
• Updating last_login_at leads to deadlocks #207
• Update last_used_at in terminable middleware #141
• Add support to disable update the last used #91
• added option to disable token last_used_at update #91 #253

Possible solutions

• Use app()->terminating() callback
• OR Use a lottery to update the column
• OR A config option to configure the time interval, for example every 15 minutes

2. Expiry per token

I think it is already in the plan.

Related PR

• [3.x] Add expires_at functionality to tokens. #252

3. Use native model pruning

We can use native model:prune command now and can make the package slim by removing the PruneCommand Command

Related PR

• [2.x] Add sanctum:prune-expired command for removing expired tokens. #348
• [2.x] Add sanctum:cleanup command #241

4. Remove deprecated Middleware

• CheckScopes
• CheckForAnyScope

5. Introduce tokenHasAbility() method on Model

Allows to check specific ability, it its different from $token->can, can() returns true when it is * in abilities

public function tokenHasAbility(string $ability): bool
{
      return $this->accessToken && array_key_exists($ability, array_flip($this->accessToken->abilities));
}

Thanks @ankurk91. That's helpful! I'll remember this issue when I'm creating tomorrow's changelog.

@ankurk91 seems most of these features weren't implemented yet. Will have to wait until the next major release if people are willing to pr something

[ankurk91]

The last_used_at is most requested one, please consider this in version 3.x

[driesvints]

v3 has already been released. If you want to propose that than feel free to send it to master for v4 👍
