@mr_chick/vue_guard

Info

This is a basic "guard" that you can use with simple permissions

This is still work in progress, but the basic works.

There will be a vue directive guard too in the near future.

Install

Install the package

npm i @mr_chick/vue_guard

with the package installed, you have to import it in your vue project

import guard from '@mr_chick/vue_guard'

then, you have to initialize the plugin

the plugin uses vuex to store the permissions, so you must provide the store object to the plugin

Vue.use(guard, {'store': store});

Usage

You have access to the guard via this.$guard (or a directive, soon)

To allow a permission

this.$guard.allow('i-can-do-this');

You can add an Instance and an ID to the allow / disallow, and it will be a more specific way of setting permission

this.$guard.allow('i-can-do-this','User','12')

That means, only the can('i-can-do-this', 'User', '12') will return true, anything else, will allow false.

To disallow a permission

this.$guard.disallow('i-can-do-this')

Same as allow, you can pass the optional Instance and ID if you need more granual permissions

You use disallow when you use a specific permission, for a specific Instance / ID, but you still want a global permission

For ex

this.$guard.allow('i-can-do-this')
this.$guard.disallow('i-can-do-this', 'User', 12)

will return false only for this.$guard.can('i-can-do-this', 'User', 12) this.$guard.can('i-can-do-this', 'User', {any_other_id}) or this.$guard.can('i-can-do-this', { Any other instance }) or this.$guard.can('i-can-do-this') will return true

getters

To check if you can do something, you can use

this.$guard.can('i-can-do-this') returns true if permission exists, false if not

You can pass the optional parameters Instance and ID for more granual check

this.$guard.can('permission')

this.$guard.can('permission', 'Instance')

this.$guard.can('permission', 'Instance', 'ID')

The inverse is cannot or cant with the same parameters

this.$guard.cannot('permission', 'Instance', 'ID')

this.$guard.cant('permission', 'Instance', 'ID') (alias for cannot)

you can get the list object via this.$guard.listPermissions()

the permissions are so the getters will update if you use allow / disallow
