## What it is
Doorman is a Laravel package that limits access to Laravel applications using invite codes. Invite codes can be tied to specific emails, have usage limits or be unlimited, and can expire on a date or never.

## Use cases
- add invite-only registration to a Laravel app
- generate invite codes with limited redemptions
- create invite codes tied to a specific email address
- make shareable invite codes that expire after a set time
- gate a private beta behind invite codes
- limit signups with unlimited-use invite codes

## When to choose
- you are building a Laravel application and want invite-based access control
- you need invite codes with per-email binding, usage limits, and expiry
- you want a simple composer-installable package with database-backed invites

## When to avoid
- your application is not built on Laravel
- you need full user management or authentication, not just invite gating
- you need invite flows with email delivery built in

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: auth, authorization, sdk
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: php
- tags: laravel-package, invite-codes, invite-system, gated-access, composer, laravel
