Laravel 5.3 - roles and permissions provider

Hi

Is there a most common roles/permissions package for L5.3 or is it recommended to create it by hand (as mentioned in the laracast https://laracasts.com/lessons/users-and-roles)?

Thanks for your tips!

Regards,

It definitely depends on what you need. If you need something simple and easy I've used entrust before. If you need something a bit more powerful might be better and more efficient to do your own.

If the package fits, good to go. If not don't force it.

Thanks for your answers! It confirms my suspicion that there is not "that package" :-)

I'll try out the spatie-package.

I'm in the middle of this. I reviewed a few packages and decided to roll my own for my limited use case (roles only). However, I missed https://github.com/JosephSilber/bouncer and I'm going to look at it today. Can't recommend one way or another but thought I'd contribute it to the list.
