Interface yii\web\IdentityInterface

All Classes | Methods

Available since version	2.0
Source Code	https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framework/web/IdentityInterface.php

IdentityInterface is the interface that should be implemented by a class providing identity information.

This interface can typically be implemented by a user model class. For example, the following code shows how to implement this interface by a User ActiveRecord class:

class User extends ActiveRecord implements IdentityInterface
{
    public static function findIdentity($id)
    {
        return static::findOne($id);
    }

    public static function findIdentityByAccessToken($token, $type = null)
    {
        return static::findOne(['access_token' => $token]);
    }

    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }

    public function getAuthKey()
    {
        return $this->authKey;
    }

    public function validateAuthKey($authKey)
    {
        return $this->authKey === $authKey;
    }
}

validateAuthKey()	Validates the given auth key.	yii\web\IdentityInterface

Method Details

findIdentity() public abstract static method

Finds an identity by the given ID.

public abstract static yii\web\IdentityInterface\|null findIdentity ( $id )
$id	string\|integer	The ID to be looked for
return	yii\web\IdentityInterface\|null	The identity object that matches the given ID. Null should be returned if such an identity cannot be found or the identity is not in an active state (disabled, deleted, etc.)

findIdentityByAccessToken() public abstract static method

Finds an identity by the given token.

public abstract static yii\web\IdentityInterface\|null findIdentityByAccessToken ( $token, $type = null )
$token	mixed	The token to be looked for
$type	mixed	The type of the token. The value of this parameter depends on the implementation. For example, yii\filters\auth\HttpBearerAuth will set this parameter to be `yii\filters\auth\HttpBearerAuth`.
return	yii\web\IdentityInterface\|null	The identity object that matches the given token. Null should be returned if such an identity cannot be found or the identity is not in an active state (disabled, deleted, etc.)

getAuthKey() public abstract method

Returns a key that can be used to check the validity of a given identity ID.

The key should be unique for each individual user, and should be persistent so that it can be used to check the validity of the user identity.

The space of such keys should be big enough to defeat potential identity attacks.

This is required if yii\web\User::$enableAutoLogin is enabled. The returned key will be stored on the client side as a cookie and will be used to authenticate user even if PHP session has been expired.

Make sure to invalidate earlier issued authKeys when you implement force user logout, password change and other scenarios, that require forceful access revocation for old sessions.

public abstract string\|integer getId ( )
return	string\|integer	An ID that uniquely identifies a user identity.

public abstract boolean validateAuthKey ( $authKey )
$authKey	string	The given auth key
return	boolean	Whether the given auth key is valid.

public abstract string getAuthKey ( )
return	string	A key that is used to check the validity of a given identity ID.
