Getting Started

Install

yarn add @rbac/rbac or npm install @rbac/rbac

RBAC is a curried function thats initially takes an object with configurations, then returns another function that takes an object with roles, finally returns an object that holds "can" property that is a function.

You can use it by many ways, below are one of them:

Setup RBAC config

| Property | Type | Params | Default | Description | |-------------- |--------------- |------------------------------------------------------------- |--------------- |----------------------------------------- | | logger | Function | role: Stringoperation: Stringresult: Boolean | defaultLogger | Function that log operations to console | | enableLogger | Boolean | | true | Enable or disable logger |

Creating some roles

RBAC expect an object with roles as properties names.

| Property | Type | Example | Description | |---------- |-------------- |------------------------------------------------ |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | can | Array | ['products:*'] | Array of strings, list of operations that user can do, since 1.1.0 also support glob | | when | Boolean | (params , done ) => done (null , true ) | Optional Promise that should resolve in Truthy or Falsy or Callback function that receives params and done as properties, should return done passing errors, and result | | inherits | Array | ['user'] | Optional Array of strings, list of roles inherited by this role |

IMPORTANT! "when" property should be either a Callback function that receives params and done or a Promise that should resolve in Truthy or Falsy values. Example:

const roles = {
  supervisor: {
    can: [{ name: 'products:find', when: (params, done) => {
      // done receives error as first argument and Truthy or Falsy value as second argument
      done(error, false)
    } }]
  },
  admin: {
    can: [{name: 'products:*', when: new Promise((resolve) => {
      resolve(true);
    })
  }]
  }
};

Check if user can do some operation

| Param | Type | Example | Description | |-------- |----------------------------------------------- |-------------------------- |---------------------------------------------------------------- | | First | String | 'admin' | Array of strings, list of operations that user can do | | Second | String, Glob (Wildcard), Regex | 'products:find' | Operation to validate | | third | Any | {registered: true} | Optional Params that will flow to "when" callback Function |

Roadmap

• [X] Wildcard support
• [X] Regex support
• [ ] Update roles in runtime

Contributing

Contributions are welcome!

1. Build RBAC

• Run yarn install to get the RBAC's dependencies
• Run yarn build to produce minified version of RBAC.

2. Development mode

• Having all the dependencies installed run yarn dev. This command will generate an non-minified version of your library and will run a watcher so you get the compilation on file change.

3. Running the tests

• Run yarn test

4. Scripts

• yarn build - produces production version of your library under the lib folder
• yarn dev - produces development version of your library and runs a watcher
• yarn test - well ... it runs the tests :)
• yarn test:watch - same as above but in a watch mode
