PERMISSION-SCOPES

Simple npm package to create permissions for users and convert them from an array of strings, to integers.

npm i permission-scopes

Initialization

const PermissionScopes = require('permission-scopes');

const scopes = [ // create the permissions a user in your application can have
    "administrator", 
    "send_messages",
    "delete_messages",
    "upload_files"
];

const perms = new PermissionScopes(scopes); // initializes all the permissions

USAGE

Convert permission scopes to integer:

perms.toInt([ 'administrator', 'send_messages', 'upload_files' ]) // Takes array as argument | return: 11

Convert permission integer to scopes:

perms.toScopes(11) // Takes integer as argument | return: [ 'administrator', 'send_messages', 'upload_files' ]

Convert automatically:

perms.convert(3) // return: [ 'administrator', 'send_messages' ]
perms.convert([ 'administrator', 'send_messages' ]) // return: 3

Get integer for all permissions:

perms.all(); // takes no argument | return (in this case): 15

Compare permissions:

perms.compare([ 'administrator', 'send_messages' ], 3) // return: true;

Compare methods:
AND - (default) Permission scopes must exactly match
OR - Only one of the compared permissions must be matching

perms.compare([ 'administrator', 'send_messages' ], [ 'administrator', 'upload_files' ], "AND") // return: false;

perms.compare([ 'administrator', 'send_messages' ], [ 'administrator', 'upload_files' ], "OR") // return: true;
