Ha! Een nieuwe rails plugin: Roleify, a rails authorization plugin.

Deze plugin komt uit een lopend project van ons en ik dacht zo, we zullen die maar ineens opengooien. Ik heb er nog wel wat plannen mee, dus het zal zeker hier en daar nog wijzigen.

Here goes:

Roleify

A Rails authorization plugin

Dependent on Clearance (should be configurable in the future though)

Example

Make sure your User object has a “role” attribute (String).

Add an initializer

{% highlight ruby %} Roleify::Role.configure(“role_a”, “role_b”) do { :role_a => { :issues => :all }, :role_b => { :issues => “index” } } end {% endhighlight %}

In the example above “role_a” and “role_b” are the roles you are defining. The block contains the rules for these roles. There is no need to define an “admin” role, since it’s added by default.

• Users with role “role_a” are allowed to access all of IssuesController actions.
• Users with role “role_b” are only allowed to access the index action of the IssuesController.
• Users with role “admin” are allowed to access all actions of all controllers.

The controller

{% highlight ruby %} class IssuesController < ActionController::Base include Clearance::Authentication include Roleify::RoleifyableController end {% endhighlight %}

The User model

{% highlight ruby %} class User < ActiveRecord::Base include Clearance::User include Roleify::RoleifyableModel end {% endhighlight %}

Extra’s

Constants:

{% highlight ruby %} Roleify::Role::ADMIN Roleify::Role::ROLE_A Roleify::Role::ROLE_B {% endhighlight %}

Named scopes are automatically added:

{% highlight ruby %} User.admins User.role_as User.role_bs {% endhighlight %}

Methods:

{% highlight ruby %} User.admin? User.role_a? User.role_b? {% endhighlight %}

Questions? Shoot!
