Laravel Restricted is a simple Laravel package that provides a system for authenticated users to place their access into a restricted mode.

This can be useful for an application that needs a "kiosk" mode.

Laravel Restricted assumes that your Laravel application has a Bootstrap 4 type layout located at resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php. This is the default layout that comes preinstalled with laravel/ui.

By default, the Restricted middleware is applied to the web middleware group. Once an authenticated user has entered restricted mode, any route that does not have the can:unrestricted middleware/gate becomes protected and cannot be accessed.

This can be applied to any routes that you would like to be restricted. If your application uses the default web middleware group, you will likely never need this gate.

This can be applied to any routes that you would like to be unrestricted. An example would be the kiosk's customer survey form.
