Is overwriting PermissionFilter possible?

[yassinedoghri]

Is it possible to overwrite the PermissionFilter? If so, how should it be done?

I see it's defined in src/Config/Registrar.php but when I try overwriting it using my own Registrar under app/Config for example, it just does not seem to do anything.

Apparently Shield's Registrar gets loaded last, thus overwriting anything set in the app folder.

Thank you for this great library by the way! And thanks in advance for any help.

Registrar is a feature to add or overwrite app/Config/* settings.
There is no way to disable a specific Registrar.

1. You can overwrite it after Registrar works.

     public array $filters = [];
+
+    public function __construct()
+    {
+        parent::__construct(); // Registrar works in this constructor.
+
+        $this->aliases['permission'] = 'App\Filters\PermissionFilter';
+    }
 }

2. You can disable Auto-discovery of Registrars.
   But if you disable it, you need to add all config items that all packages provide with Registrars to your app/Config/*.

Thank you for the insight! I finally understand what Registrars are for.

I went with the first option by overwriting in the filter's constructor and it works great 👍
